This weeks answers:
Hi
I am 38 and is in good health. But have slightly high blood pressure., 8 weeks ago, I had pain from lower back all the
way to toe on the left side (left hip area, left thigh and left calf).
Looks like the pain is because of the nerve pinch. There is no swollen or color change. I took some alopathy medicines
like pain killers and muscle relaxant which has helped a lot but not 100%.
While walking I used to feel pain in thigh, calf and nerve between thigh and calf and most of the time I feel pain on the
back of the thigh till few days back but now better.
3 to 4 weeks before this pain started I also had back pain, that may be due to some heavy lifting I had done. I work as
a computer professional, my job is to sit in front of the computer 9 hrs a day and I try to walk after every 20 30
mins. When Im lying face down, I feel bit better. Left leg pains when I try to stretch (bend forward and touch my
toes).
Kindly advice what medicine to cure the pinching pain in future. If you need any more information, please let me
know.
Thank you, Suresh Kumar

Hi Dr Gowthaman
I have read a lot of cures prescribed by you through Sify. Hence motivated to write to you about my problems.
I am a 46 year old lady, a mother of 2 children. I am a vegetarian.
My health background:
I have border line cholesterol. I have not been prescribed any meds. Not diabetic as yet.
Of late my periods are irregular. For the past 7 years I have been suffering from severe acne and for the past three
years hyper pigmentation (blotches on my cheek bone area, my nasal bridge just below where my eyebrows start).
Whe the acne appears, it starts as a deep red patch and then remains so for weeks- hard and red.
Since I am fair complexioned, this is the forst thing everyone notices followed by umpteen questions.An Ayurveda

doctor advised my friend with a similar condition to drink Manjishtadi Kashayam 15 ml + 60 ml of water twice daily
(morning empty stomach and in the eve say between 6.00 7.00 PM) and to apply yeladhi choornam with curd or
thulasi leaf extract.However when I read about about your cure, I found some difference in the presribed cure:
You have advised Manjishtadi Kashayam 15 ml + 60 ml of warm water thrice daily before food with Arogya Vardini
gutika 2 tablets thrice daily after food with warm water and external application of Thiktakam gritam followed by
warm water bath after 45 minutes of application.
My doubts:Is this condition of mine curable? How can I correct my irregular periods? Is it because I am nearing
menopause? I have acne, so is Thiktakam gritam advisable for my face?
Is it half an hour before food that I should take Manjishtadi Kashayam? Do I also have to take Arogya Vardini gutika
? If so will it be there at kottakal Arya Vaidyasala outlets?
How much water intake do you recommend? Any other suggestions for me? Any food that I should specfically avoid?
Should I avoid intake of cold water / food like ice cream or even curd?
Sorry for this question but it is because for my anxiety that i ask. How long do you think I will have to follow this
mediaction or any thing else that you suggest for me to see a change?
Thanks a ton for your time doctor. I wish I were in Chennai. Would have met you in person.
Its such a great service you are doing to people. Thanks to Sify too!

Dear Doctor,
I am 59 years old and having diabetic and BP which is under control by some Allopathic Medicine.
My wife is quite younger than me about 35 years so she wishes to have sex and I am unable to satisfy her fully.
I have erection / stiffness problem with early ejaculations.
Please advice some solution in Ayurveda and what is the treatment available which I can take with my regular
medicine.
Thanks for your advice.

Anil Yadev.
Hi Anil,
Ayurveda has good solutions for both Diabetes and reduced sexual functions. Both men and women with diabetes can
develop sexual problems because of damage to nerves and small blood vessels. Nerve signals control internal organs like the
heart and bladder, but people do not have the same kind of conscious control over them as they do over their arms and legs.
The nerves that control internal organs are called autonomic nerves, which signal the body to digest food and circulate blood
without a person having to think about it. The bodys response to sexual stimuli is also involuntary, governed by autonomic
nerve signals that increase blood flow to the genitals and cause smooth muscle tissue to relax. Damage to these autonomic
nerves can hinder normal function. Reduced blood flow resulting from damage to blood vessels can also contribute to sexual
dysfunction.
Ayurveda has two approaches to solve this problem. They are

a. Detoxification followed by Rejuvenation and aphrodisiac therapies
b. Addressing this problems directly by taking medicines, yoga and Diet
Detoxification and Rejuvenation, Aphrodisiac therapies
Ayurveda recommends purification therapies like vomiting, Purgation, bloodletting, medicated enema and Medicated nasal
drops therapy for complete detoxifications. Any one of these therapies is carefully selected after considering the cause, age,
disease condition, complication, season etc. These primary detoxification therapies are supported by the Preliminary and post
therapy procedures for the complete care.
After these purification therapies, the patient is asked to undergo a series of diet and medicine regime, which helps in
rejuvenation which in turn helps them to perform better. Ayurveda recommends virilification therapies for ED. This therapy
claims to make the patient as virile as a horse and makes use of various aphrodisiacs, tonics to be used internally and
externally, and appropriate diet plans. The remedy includes
1. Powder of Indian ginseng to be taken with milk
2. Velvet bean powder to be taken with milk
3. Flowers of Drum stick tree in the diet
4. Crab extract in the diet
5. Fig fruits in the diet
6. White pumpkin juice and Pumpkin seed oil
7. Indian Asparagus processed with milk (100 ml of milk + 200 ml of water + 10 gm of Indian Asparagus powder Boiled
and reduced to 100 ml) taken in empty stomach helps the women to come out of their Diabetic reproductive trouble.
2. Addressing with Medicines Ayurveda recommends both internal and external medications for this problem
3. Sukra Vallabha Ras
4. Amrita Prasa Ghee
5. Maha Kalyanaka Ghee
6. Bhallataka Lehyam
7. Linga Vardhana Thailam
8. Soubhakya Vardana Thailam
9. Shilajatu Parpam
10. Karisalai Parpam
There are more than 1000 Ayurvedic recipes for treatment and management of ED.
Yoga for Erectile Dysfunction
Apart from herbal remedies, some simple exercises can help improve ED. These exercises relieve physical and psychological
stress which in turn helps improve cardio-vascular functions essential in treating ED.
Many Yoga experts advocate Kanda Asana which has been clinically proven effective for improving strength in legs, thighs,
and muscles below the navel region. The asana also reduces stiffness in hips and joint pains. It also improves sexual vigor and
is, thus, good for treating impotence including erectile dysfunction.
The primary objective of the Ayurveda therapies and medicines is to bring back the normalcy in the functional elements of
the human body which not only corrects the problems in the reproductive system but also helps in overcoming Diabetes and
its other complications too.
Sir,
My 5 yr old son is diagnosed of having Vitiligo (Pit Alba). 5 months back I found that two white spots appeared on his
bottom. Sir he has been having problem with passing tools since he was 4 yrs, and has a habit of soiling his under
pants. Sometimes when i am at work , his grand parents must have not observed that and the stools got dried and
stuck to his bottom.. when I came and wash him , i found that he was saying that it hurts him. Since the stools had
dried, I wash washed it with a little force.After washing , while drying him up I saw that the skin have lost its color
and has small white spots (The size of medium size bindis) on both the bottoms. I initially though it must have been
caused due to the washing and will go away , but it did not.
Now I have been treating him with Alopathy as well as Ayurveda (As i have more faith in it as a permanent cure). The
allopathy doctor has suggested me to apply T-Bis cream (Tracrolimus) to the patches, give him Dicaris tab 1/2 (Sat &
Sun), Inj Vit A once in 10 days.[ Note:I am done with this course in the first three months]. Now the Dr has suggested
him to take Light treatment.I have not started that as of now.
The Ayurveda Dr has given a mixture (reddish in color) to be taken 1-1 with honey. Doctor my problem now is that
though the white dots have reduced considerably. they refuse to get the same color of the surrounding skin.On taking
the Auyrvedic medicine he gets cold in 2-3 days and starts to soils his pants with stool, started soiling (for last 6
months frequently) mostly when he goes down to play in evening with friends, surprisingly he is clean when he comes

from school and has never done it in school pants. He passes dry hard stools most of the times and in small quantity,
refuses to sit to pass the remaining stools. As a result passes small amt 5 to 6 times a day. Has lost weight and is
appears less healthy and tall than his school class friends. After taking the Ayurvedic medicine when he gets cold , I
have to request the dr to give him some medicines to get his cold in check. This is going in round and round circles for
4 months now. Some times I am fed up of making suffer my baby with all this medicines. Actually when I continued
the treatment with out break he once had developed fissures and was in lot of pain while passing stools. I had to stop
all the medicines and give him (Flegyl,Nutrolin B, and Canesten Ointment) as adviced by our Family physician.
Dr request you to let me know what diet should I give him to resolve the condition swiftly and permanently. Does Milk
and Paneer make the situation worst? He likes both of them. He takes Milk with Bourvita. Is my son having some
digestive disorder? Can I give him Vitcofol and Ostocalcium B12 Syrup to keep him in good health? (Note he has been
a healthy child before so long). Should I continue with Dicaris tab 1/2 (Sat & Sun) and Inj Vit A ? Sir, no one from our
family in last generations have had Vitiligo. Our family does not have history of Vitiligo. Can I hope that proper
medicne and diet can cure my son permanently?
Thanks and Regards.
Mrs. Salvi.
Hi Mrs. Salvi,
Yes, Diet, good amount of water intake and Oil bath can heal the child. Since he is just 5 years i do not want recommend any
medications. External application of Ludem oil followed by warm water bath after 30 minutes everyday helps. Also please
check his Vitamin D levels as children with Vitamin D deficiency are prone to get this white spots. Add 2 cod liver oil
capsules a day to improve the Vitamin D levels. There is a common myth about the Vitiligo that it cannot be cured, but
contrarily, remarkable re pigmentation can be achieved and its spread can be arrested provided the patient follows dietary
restrictions and takes appropriate treatment for the prescribed duration. A proper assessment of known causative factor of
Vitiligo, such as, plastic slippers, gloves, and other plastic materials, pressure or traumas, is mandatory and if required the
patient needs to discard these.
Hello Doctor
I am a 56 year old postmenopausal women. I have Pit prakrity so I have been told. I am suffering from terrible
headache since last 3-4 years. I have had 3 CT scans and they are all normal. I have taken various allopathic

oil in the middle of my head, it gives some relief for a little while. It is not migraine, doctors here say it is tension
headache but there is no such tension in my every day life. Please suggest any Ayurvedic remedy. Kind Regards,Anita

Jeera seeds are the best remedy for you. Take 1 liter of water and add 5 gm of Jeera seed Boil for 5 minutes and drink. This

clean up the system, please take it as a regular diet until you switch to home food.

5. Podikizhi (Ayurveda Bolus Massage)- This is a process of fomentation massage using packs of medicinal powder and
herbs that open up the skin pore that allows for better absorption. The boluses are applied at specific vital points to relieve
stress from the body.
Yoga and Diet Plan
It varies from person to person based on age, sex, stress level, causes etc. We recommend the individual to meet us at least
once in 15 days to understand and help better.
Natural ways to sleep
1. A persons ability to cope with stress is hugely affected by relationships. Build strong relationships with loved ones, friends
and co-workers. Your outlook on life also determines your perception of situations. Try to keep a positive, upbeat attitude.
Do not try to bring perfection, learn to be easy-going. Everyone goes through challenging situations in life but those who are
emotionally healthy are able to bounce back more quickly and move forward.
2. Exercise is a great means of relaxing and relieving stress which inturn helps sleep
3. Practice other stress relieving methods such as yoga, swim etc induce natural sleep
4. Get involved in hobbies like gardening and scrapbooking makes you relax internally which helps sleep
5. Herbs such as Ashwagandha and Bacopa help the mind and body be relaxed and yet feel energetic. Ashwagandha is often
recommended in autoimmune diseases such as arthritis as it is an anti-inflammatory and also helps the body to relax.

Hi Rikta,
Ayurveda has many remedies and therapies for Melasma. Ayurveda, as a holistic medicine addresses this problem both from
inside and outside. Ayurveda explains as the facial beauty is the reflection of physical, mental and spiritual well being.
Hence, Ayurveda recommends the traditional detoxification therapies followed by rejuvenation therapies for this condition.
As a pacification therapy, Ayurveda recommends a special eight fold therapy for a period of 28-40 days for complete cure.
This facial therapies helps improves the blood circulation in the skin which in turn detox and rejuvenate itself. Even though
the results are slow, it yields better results than any other chemical or Modern medicine based creams
1. Gentle application of fresh aloe vera juice followed by warm water wash: Modern researchers do accept it as aloe vera
contains mucilaginous polysaccharides which has a significant result on lightening the dark spots. Ayurveda recommends this
application on face should be a gently one and to be done for 15 minutes.
2. Application of Orange skin fresh or powder mixed with milk It is very good skin exfoliator which can lighten the skin
discolorations in no time. Gentle application followed by warm water wash after 30 minutes
3. Application of turmeric powder mixed with warm milk 5 tablespoon of turmeric powder mixed with 10 tablespoon of
milk and applied all over the face followed by warm massage for 20 minutes helps followed by warm water wash
4. Almond paste with honey as pack for 15 minutes followed by warm water wash after 15 minutes
5. Application of fresh lemon juice with gentle massage followed by warm water wash after 10 minutes
6. Onion seed paste application followed by warm water wash after 15 minutes
7. Thulasi leave paste pack followed by warm water wash after 15 minutes
8. Finally 10 minutes pack with Thriphala choornam for 10 minutes followed by warm water wash (Ayurveda recommends
using Thriphala Kashayam for face wash helps both in prevention and cure, Ayurveda also recommends 1 tablespoon of
Thriphala choornam at bed time with warm water also helps in healing)
Home remedies for Melasma
a. Vinegar: Dilute vinegar equally with water, and use to cleanse and rinse your face. Allow to air dry to seal in moisture. Or,
use the vinegar/water mixture in place of an astringent or toner. Vinegar is chemically acetic acid, and is capable of
whitening and brightening, as well as making skin smoother and more radiant. It has also long been used for a skin softener.
Apple cider or other natural vinegars are recommended, though some people use distilled white vinegar.
b. Onion Juice: To get onion juice, you can finely chop up an onion, or blend it, and squeeze the juice through a cheese cloth.
Mix with equal part apple cider vinegar, apply twice daily with a cotton ball and watch for results over the next several
weeks. Alternatively, you can cut a slice of onion, dip it in vinegar, and apply it to the pigmentation.
c. Lemon Juice: Applying the juice of a fresh lemon to the pigmentation has a similar effect to the onion remedy it is acidic
and can safely peel off the top layer of skin, causing spots to fade.
d. Onion, vinegar and lemon juice are excellent home remedies to relieve you of age spots, Melasma, pigmentation and
discoloration. I found this treatment quite effective for lightening over several weeks what I didnt like was the onion smell.
Though it was great in a pinch, I didnt want to have stinky hands and face for life, so I learned of many more natural
remedies to combat my Melasma.

Hi I am Sambit. I am 31 year old. I have a hair fall problem. I am using a mixture of Coconut Oil, Almond Oil
(Roghan Badam), Olive Oil and Castor Oil. Perhaps I have taken this article from sify or from The Times Of India. Is
it a good mixture or any suggestion will you like to give ? Can you suggest me the intake that I should take for hair
problem and some yoga or exercises. Kindly tell me the good ayurvedic shampoo that is available in the market.
Thanks
Hi
Understanding the cause helps to cure the condition. Instead of trying various remedies randomly, check your Vitamin D,
Iron and Thyroid profiles. This not only suggest the cause for the hair fall also reflects your health condition.
Please send me the reports, I will suggest the natural remedies accordingly.
Dear Sir,
I have been affected with Alopecia Areata for the last 10-12 yrs. My scalp hair, moustache, eyebrows, chest hairs have
lost. By the grace of The Almighty my scalp hairs have regrown and NO hair grows in other affected areas.
I have undergone allopathic treatment / Siddha etc but of no use.
I have discontinued all the treatments due to side effects it had led to.
Earlier I applied garlic paste on my scalp for reqrowth of hair and it has come out successfully . Due to sensitivity in
facial skins when applied in these areas it leads to scar marks or skin burn or even bruises.
Please advise home or natural remedies to get back my lost hairs.
Internal and external application.
Thanks and Regards
Wasim
Hi Wasim,
Any treatment if not scientific will not yield results, especially in cases of hair fall. Check your Vitamin D, Iron and Thyroid
