Ajwain
Guy with stomach pain
Digestion
Digestion: Bad digestion is the mother of most ailments.
Whatever disease the patient is suffering from we must pay attention to his
symptoms related to his stomach such as level of hunger, bowl irregularities,
pain or gas in the stomach, his likes and dislikes.
There is unanimous agreement among different
medical sciences and among all medical professionals that the following factors
can cause digestive problems.
Eating
rich spicy foods, overeating ,hurried eating, eating with open mouth,
eating untimely meals, drinking too much liquid straight after meals, drinking
alcohol regularly, eating proteins and fruits together and above all chronic
anxiety. It is advised therefore to pay attention to these factors before
starting suitable treatment.
Treatment: In a chronic case I would advise to
have stools tested for any worm’s infestation
There are certain symptoms in patients which
can indicate worms in the stomach especially among under developed countries
where water and sanitary standard is poor. The patient can have raving hunger
and itching on abdomen after eating sweets or sugar. He/she can discharge lot
of fluid from the mouth during sleep. Children may grind their teeth and may
scratch their bottoms. The patient may look anaemic. There are some traditional
home remedies which can be used by those who cannot afford modern treatment.
Make Ajwain tea by adding 2 cloves in two cups
of water. Let it simmer until it reduces to one cup. Eat lump of jiggery or
sugar candy. The worms will stick to it. Drink Luke warm tea without milk first
thing in the morning Repeat for 3 days.
Take five gram Kamila powder in the evening.
Take 2 tablespoons of castor oil in a warm cup of milk at retiring. This will
clear all the dead worms following morning. Repeat after 2 days if necessary to
complete the treatment.
There is
very useful herb called wormwood available in capsules or tablets. One may buy
this from health stores or on internet. It comes with instructions for usage.
In developed
countries there is treatment available over the pharmacist counter or through
your family Doctor.
Children and grown up should improve
their digestion following the above treatment provided they take regular
exercise and mixed food of wholegrain, dairy, fruit and vegetables. Probiotic
foods like fresh yogurt should be consumed regularly to maintain healthy
bacteria in the gut. In case of elderly people further tests may require to
check the level of digestive acids and enzymes because the body in their case
does not produce sufficient enzymes and may need supplements.
Crohen’s
disease: Many people suffer from this horrible disease in their adulthood. The problem build up over the years with bad life style and
anxiety. Patients get a lot of gas in stomach and suffer from constipation and
colic pain.The lining of the small intestines gets
damaged with sharp irritable food such as hot spices, pickeles,
alcohol
And smoking.
As the digestion gets upset it leads to other symptoms like skin rash,
rheumatism and depression. There are several good homeopathic remedies which
can be prescribed after matching with individual symptoms. Remedies like Nuxvomica, Lycopodium, Bryonia, and Nux muchetta are very helpful if
taken in addition to change of life style.
