RAW JUICE THERAPY



Raw juice therapy is a method for the treatment of disease through an exclusive diet of juices of fruits and vegetables. It is also known as juice fasting. It is the most effective way to restore health, rejuvenate and detoxify the body.
Fruit and vegetable juices may be divided into six main types
(i) Juices from sweet fruits such as prunes, raisins and grapes.
(ii) Juices from sub-acid fruits like apple, plum, pear, peach, papaya, apricot and cherry,
(iii) Juices from acid fruits like orange, tangerines, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry and pineapple.
(iv) Juices from vegetable fruits, namely, tomato and cucumber.
(v) Juices from green leafy vegetables like cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach, parsley and watercress.
(vi) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish.
Generally speaking, fruit juices stir up toxins and acids in the body, thereby stimulating the eliminative processes. Vegetable juices, on the other hand, soothe the jaded nerves and work in a much milder manner. They carry away toxic matter in a gentle way. Owing to their differing actions fruit and vegetable juices should not be used at the same time or mixed together. It is desirable to use juices individually. In any case not more than three juices should be used in any one mixture.
Raw Juice Benefits
The favourable effect of raw juices in the treatment of disease is attributed to the following facts :
+Raw juices of fruits and vegetables are extremely rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and natural sugars.
+They exercise beneficial effect in normalising all the body functions.
+They supply needed elements for the body’s own healing activity and cell regeneration, thereby speeding the recovery.
+The juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables require no digestion and almost all their vital nutrients are assimilated directly in the bloodstream.
+Raw juices are extremely rich in alkaline elements. This is highly beneficial in normalising acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues as there is over-acidity in most conditions of ill-health.
+Generous amounts of easily absorbed organic minerals in raw juices especially calcium, potassium and silicon help in restoring biochemical and mineral balance in the tissues and cells, thereby preventing premature ageing of cells and disease.
+Raw juices contain certain natural medicines, vegetal hormones and antibiotics. For instance, string beans are said to contain insulin-like substance. Certain hormones needed by the pancreas to produce insulin are present in cucumber and onion juices. Fresh juices of garlic, onions, radish and tomatoes contain antibiotic substances.

Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder



Frozen shoulder
Medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the gleno-humeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain.

Movement of the shoulder is severely restricted. Pain is usually constant, worse at night, when the weather is colder. This condition can last from five months to three years or more and is thought in some cases to be caused by injury or trauma to the area. It is believed that it may have an autoimmune component, with the body attacking healthy tissue in the shoulder.
The condition may also cause chronic inflammation. Adhesions grow between the joints and tissue, greatly restricting motion and causing a number of painful complications. There is also a lack of fluid in the joint, further restricting movement.

Frozen shoulder is characterized by pain and loss of motion or stiffness in the shoulder. It is also known as 50 shoulder in alternative medicine in Asia because its victims are usually people around the age of 50. It affects more women than man. The recovery is very slow.

Age and sex
People 40 and older are more likely to experience frozen shoulder. Most of the people who develop the condition are women.

ETIOLOGY of Frozen Shoulder
• Exact cause is unknown.
• There may be autoimmune etiology.
• History of trauma to joint may be present.
• Hyperthyroidism (excessive production of thyroid hormones).
• Diabetes.
• Heart/ circulatory diseases.
• A fracture or other arm injury.
• Shoulder injury/ surgery.
• Cervical disk disease.
• Degenerative arthritis.

Diagnosis of frozen shoulder
During the physical examination, you are asked to perform certain actions to check for pain and evaluate your range of motion. These may include:
Hands up:
Raise both your hands straight up in the air
Opposite shoulder:
Reach across your chest to touch your opposite shoulder.
Back scratch:
Starting with the back of your hand against the small of your back, reach upward to touch your opposite shoulder blade.

CLINICAL FEATURES of Frozen Shoulder
Symptoms

• Onset: insidious.
• Pain in shoulder, upper arm.
• Severe aching pain.
• Restricted shoulder movement.
• Difficulty in routine activities, e.g. combing hairs, wearing shirts.

Signs
The most noticeable signs of frozen shoulder are pain, stiffness, and difficulty in moving the arm and shoulder. The symptoms form a cyclic pattern as they usually start with pain that curtails movement. The restricted mobility causes stiffness over a period of time. This further triggers pain and so on. The symptoms of frozen shoulder develop slowly and go away gradually.
The muscle tissues around the shoulder joint get stiff with pain and scar tissue forms in the shoulder area that cause pain.
• Restricted flexion, extension, abduction, circumdiction.

INVESTIGATIONS
• X-Ray shoulder joint shows no abnormality.

Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc. 

Effective homeopathic cures for frozen shoulder:
Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder- Ferrum Metallicum as First line of Treatment

In my years of practice I have found that homeopathic remedies for frozen shoulder give permanent relief . Ferrum metallicum is a well known homoeopathic medicine that I have used it as my first line of treatment when symptoms of frozen shoulder – pain and stiffness in the shoulders along with swelling are predominant. For Ferrum Met To be used The patient complains that he is unable to raise his arms as he feels he has no power left for any movement. He could also describe violent pain in the shoulder and muscles on both sides of the shoulder could exhibit violent pain that travels along the arm. In cases where the patient complains that it pains like someone is pinching or boring into the shoulders, Ferrum Met can work wonders

Rhus Tox: The best homeopathic Remedy for Stiffness in Shoulder Joint .

Rhus Tox is an important homeopathic remedy with multiple health benefits. In cases where the patients complain of frozen shoulder, Rhus Tox is recommended. The patients complain of pain and stiffness in between the shoulders. If such symptoms are observed, Rhus Tox is effective in treating them. The patient could feel that the pain is relieved by moving or even when he lies on a hard platform but it gets worse when he sits. There is stiffness in the base of the neck with pain that feels as if the skin is being torn. The forearm and arm of the patient also have pain and they feel weak and paralysed. Another important symptom for Rhus tox to be used is the great stiffness that comes after rest. For Rhus tox to be used Patient complains of great stiffness in the morning or after periods of rest.

Ruta Graveolens – Homeopathic remedy for Frozen shoulder due to Tendon Strain .

It is one of the commonly used remedies in homoeopathy for tendon strain and sprains. If a patient displays symptoms of strain in the shoulder with inability to move the arm, Ruta is the ideal medicine. The symptom points towards a strain in the tendons that flex the arm. The patient complains of pain in the neck that is relieved by lying on the back as it applies pressure. He also complains of pain that is so violent that it feels that his shoulder is getting torn. Or that the shoulder feels bruised as if he has had an injury. When you come across such symptoms, Ruta can be relied on to cure them. In some cases, people complain of frozen shoulder after an injury or after bruises. I have found Ruta to be a reliable cure for such cases.

Remove Warts With Homeopathy

Remove Warts With Homeopathy
Warts are unwanted skin protrusions (growth) that are relatively harmless in most cases which most people have sometime in their life. The human papiloma virus of which there are more than 100 strains are behind these skin condition.
They usually appear on hands and feet, face, nose nostrils, behind ears but some in the genital regions and are disfiguring and embarrassing .
This virus is contagious and you are likely to contract it through cuts, damage or in contact with a infected person. So if you are infected with HPV you are likely to get one of the following types of warts; Plantar warts (they grow within skin), common warts (rough grey patches on skin), Flat warts (small flat top growths on face, arms or thighs), Filiform warts ( tiny skin flaps that appear on the face, Subungal and Periungal warts ( it affects finger and toe nails). So how to remove warts ? Warts disappear on their own over prolonged periods of time but those that are painful or people with diabetes or HIV should seek medical attention

What to do when you have warts?
As it is a contagious disease, it can quickly spread to other parts of your body or infect your near and dear ones at home, so you have to observe caution and take following precautionary steps
1.     Do not try to rub the wart with any household article like utensil. Use separate towels and do not mix your clothes
2.     Do not try to cut or puncture the wart with any sharp objects or try to burn it. Do not use duct tapes or wrap in rubber bands as is commonly believed.
3.     Keep your hands & feet dry and use shower wear like flip-flops when in a group/community bathing
4.     If the wart changes its color or if you are having a medical condition like sugar (diabetes) or HIV then you should consult a doctor immediately

How does Homeopathy remove warts?
Homeopathy not only wipes out warts but also addresses the internal cause, the root which makes the patient susceptible to it. Therefore homeopathic treatment  not only looks at the pathological condition but focuses on the patient’s emotional and mental aspects too. So it considers a hierarchy of symptoms and the mind-body connect which is termed as miasmatic tendency is often taken into account in the treatment process. The homeopath selects a remedy that strengthens the patients immunity and removes the susceptibility to viral infection.
People who undergo homeopathic treatment to remove warts also find additional benefits like better sleep, renewed energy, and disappearance of other associated symptoms.
The tincture of Thuja Occidentalis has long been used in Homeopathy, for it contains volatile oil with about 60% thujone, falvonoids, wax, mucilage and tannin which have specific anti-bacterial and anti viral actions.
Thuja Occidentalis is also used for related skin growths like condylomata, excrescences etc.  “I’ve done a lot of research on thuja and found this ……a very good product at a very good price. Skin tags? Warts? This could help. Applied 3x a day and covered with a band-aid, you could be free of these annoying skin thingys” says one customer in his review.
Another customer feedback goes like this “My mother-in-law used it for a wart on the inside of her nose and noticed the wart shrinking after about 4 weeks….Bottom line: Go for the herbs before you reach for the drugs. They take longer to work, but the results can be great and your body will thank you for it. Besides, this Thuja is not expensive. Why not give it a try? Read the label, educate yourself, then decide”

Cloves contain an anti-inflammatory chemical called eugenol that interferes with a bodily process that triggers arthritis. In one animal study, eugenol prevented the release of COX-2, a protein that spurs inflammation (the same protein that COX-2 inhibitor drugs like Celebrex target).
Cloves also contain antioxidants, which are important in slowing the cartilage and bone damage caused by arthritis. Aim for ½ to 1 teaspoon a day.

Look up some spicy Mexican, Indian, and Thai recipes
(or keep a bottle of hot sauce on your table at all times!).

It can be used externally to treat joint related ailments. Tulsi also works in relieving joint pain and pain associated with arthritis.
 Grapes
A recent study conducted by Texas Woman's University has established that daily intake of grapes can help get relief from knee pain, especially the ones triggered due to symptomatic osteoarthritis. Grapes are high on antioxidants, most importent and beneficial one being polyphenols which help in improving the flexibility and mobility of joints

+Generous amounts of easily absorbed organic minerals in raw juices especially calcium, potassium and silicon help in restoring biochemical and mineral balance in the tissues and cells, thereby preventing premature ageing of cells and disease.

Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder



Frozen shoulder
Medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the gleno-humeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain.

Movement of the shoulder is severely restricted. Pain is usually constant, worse at night, when the weather is colder. This condition can last from five months to three years or more and is thought in some cases to be caused by injury or trauma to the area. It is believed that it may have an autoimmune component, with the body attacking healthy tissue in the shoulder.
The condition may also cause chronic inflammation. Adhesions grow between the joints and tissue, greatly restricting motion and causing a number of painful complications. There is also a lack of fluid in the joint, further restricting movement.

Frozen shoulder is characterized by pain and loss of motion or stiffness in the shoulder. It is also known as 50 shoulder in alternative medicine in Asia because its victims are usually people around the age of 50. It affects more women than man. The recovery is very slow.

Age and sex
People 40 and older are more likely to experience frozen shoulder. Most of the people who develop the condition are women.

ETIOLOGY of Frozen Shoulder
• Exact cause is unknown.
• There may be autoimmune etiology.
• History of trauma to joint may be present.
• Hyperthyroidism (excessive production of thyroid hormones).
• Diabetes.
• Heart/ circulatory diseases.
• A fracture or other arm injury.
• Shoulder injury/ surgery.
• Cervical disk disease.
• Degenerative arthritis.

Diagnosis of frozen shoulder
During the physical examination, you are asked to perform certain actions to check for pain and evaluate your range of motion. These may include:
Hands up:
Raise both your hands straight up in the air
Opposite shoulder:
Reach across your chest to touch your opposite shoulder.
Back scratch:
Starting with the back of your hand against the small of your back, reach upward to touch your opposite shoulder blade.

CLINICAL FEATURES of Frozen Shoulder
Symptoms

• Onset: insidious.
• Pain in shoulder, upper arm.
• Severe aching pain.
• Restricted shoulder movement.
• Difficulty in routine activities, e.g. combing hairs, wearing shirts.

Signs
The most noticeable signs of frozen shoulder are pain, stiffness, and difficulty in moving the arm and shoulder. The symptoms form a cyclic pattern as they usually start with pain that curtails movement. The restricted mobility causes stiffness over a period of time. This further triggers pain and so on. The symptoms of frozen shoulder develop slowly and go away gradually.
The muscle tissues around the shoulder joint get stiff with pain and scar tissue forms in the shoulder area that cause pain.
• Restricted flexion, extension, abduction, circumdiction.

INVESTIGATIONS
• X-Ray shoulder joint shows no abnormality.

Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc. 

Effective homeopathic cures for frozen shoulder:
Homeopathic Remedies for Frozen Shoulder- Ferrum Metallicum as First line of Treatment

In my years of practice I have found that homeopathic remedies for frozen shoulder give permanent relief . Ferrum metallicum is a well known homoeopathic medicine that I have used it as my first line of treatment when symptoms of frozen shoulder – pain and stiffness in the shoulders along with swelling are predominant. For Ferrum Met To be used The patient complains that he is unable to raise his arms as he feels he has no power left for any movement. He could also describe violent pain in the shoulder and muscles on both sides of the shoulder could exhibit violent pain that travels along the arm. In cases where the patient complains that it pains like someone is pinching or boring into the shoulders, Ferrum Met can work wonders

Rhus Tox: The best homeopathic Remedy for Stiffness in Shoulder Joint .

Rhus Tox is an important homeopathic remedy with multiple health benefits. In cases where the patients complain of frozen shoulder, Rhus Tox is recommended. The patients complain of pain and stiffness in between the shoulders. If such symptoms are observed, Rhus Tox is effective in treating them. The patient could feel that the pain is relieved by moving or even when he lies on a hard platform but it gets worse when he sits. There is stiffness in the base of the neck with pain that feels as if the skin is being torn. The forearm and arm of the patient also have pain and they feel weak and paralysed. Another important symptom for Rhus tox to be used is the great stiffness that comes after rest. For Rhus tox to be used Patient complains of great stiffness in the morning or after periods of rest.

Ruta Graveolens – Homeopathic remedy for Frozen shoulder due to Tendon Strain .

It is one of the commonly used remedies in homoeopathy for tendon strain and sprains. If a patient displays symptoms of strain in the shoulder with inability to move the arm, Ruta is the ideal medicine. The symptom points towards a strain in the tendons that flex the arm. The patient complains of pain in the neck that is relieved by lying on the back as it applies pressure. He also complains of pain that is so violent that it feels that his shoulder is getting torn. Or that the shoulder feels bruised as if he has had an injury. When you come across such symptoms, Ruta can be relied on to cure them. In some cases, people complain of frozen shoulder after an injury or after bruises. I have found Ruta to be a reliable cure for such cases.

Remove Warts With Homeopathy

Remove Warts With Homeopathy
Warts are unwanted skin protrusions (growth) that are relatively harmless in most cases which most people have sometime in their life. The human papiloma virus of which there are more than 100 strains are behind these skin condition.
They usually appear on hands and feet, face, nose nostrils, behind ears but some in the genital regions and are disfiguring and embarrassing .
This virus is contagious and you are likely to contract it through cuts, damage or in contact with a infected person. So if you are infected with HPV you are likely to get one of the following types of warts; Plantar warts (they grow within skin), common warts (rough grey patches on skin), Flat warts (small flat top growths on face, arms or thighs), Filiform warts ( tiny skin flaps that appear on the face, Subungal and Periungal warts ( it affects finger and toe nails). So how to remove warts ? Warts disappear on their own over prolonged periods of time but those that are painful or people with diabetes or HIV should seek medical attention

What to do when you have warts?
As it is a contagious disease, it can quickly spread to other parts of your body or infect your near and dear ones at home, so you have to observe caution and take following precautionary steps
1.     Do not try to rub the wart with any household article like utensil. Use separate towels and do not mix your clothes
2.     Do not try to cut or puncture the wart with any sharp objects or try to burn it. Do not use duct tapes or wrap in rubber bands as is commonly believed.
3.     Keep your hands & feet dry and use shower wear like flip-flops when in a group/community bathing
4.     If the wart changes its color or if you are having a medical condition like sugar (diabetes) or HIV then you should consult a doctor immediately

How does Homeopathy remove warts?
Homeopathy not only wipes out warts but also addresses the internal cause, the root which makes the patient susceptible to it. Therefore homeopathic treatment  not only looks at the pathological condition but focuses on the patient’s emotional and mental aspects too. So it considers a hierarchy of symptoms and the mind-body connect which is termed as miasmatic tendency is often taken into account in the treatment process. The homeopath selects a remedy that strengthens the patients immunity and removes the susceptibility to viral infection.
People who undergo homeopathic treatment to remove warts also find additional benefits like better sleep, renewed energy, and disappearance of other associated symptoms.
The tincture of Thuja Occidentalis has long been used in Homeopathy, for it contains volatile oil with about 60% thujone, falvonoids, wax, mucilage and tannin which have specific anti-bacterial and anti viral actions.
Thuja Occidentalis is also used for related skin growths like condylomata, excrescences etc.  “I’ve done a lot of research on thuja and found this ……a very good product at a very good price. Skin tags? Warts? This could help. Applied 3x a day and covered with a band-aid, you could be free of these annoying skin thingys” says one customer in his review.
Another customer feedback goes like this “My mother-in-law used it for a wart on the inside of her nose and noticed the wart shrinking after about 4 weeks….Bottom line: Go for the herbs before you reach for the drugs. They take longer to work, but the results can be great and your body will thank you for it. Besides, this Thuja is not expensive. Why not give it a try? Read the label, educate yourself, then decide”

Cloves also contain antioxidants, which are important in slowing the cartilage and bone damage caused by arthritis. Aim for ½ to 1 teaspoon a day.
