Persistent Joint Pain And Stiffness After Fever: Homeopathic Treatment

This year lots of people suffered with acute fever and severe joint pains and extreme weakness. Lots of them were diagnosed with Chikungunya, dengue fever, or leptospirosis and most of them were undiagnosed and were considered suffered from Chikungunya.




This year (2010) in late monsoon and early winter seasons lots of people got sudden high fever with severe joint pain and weakness with fainting spells. After recovering from this attack, lots of them remained with joint stiffness and joint pain and are wondering how these limiting pain and stiffness will go.



People are thinking that these problems are due to febrile attack that has caused permanent damage to the joint so it is still persisting. I got opportunity to treat some of such patients and came to notice that these people tend to develop high uric acid, which is certainly an explanation for these stiffness and pains.



People are being treated with pain medicines and vitamin supplements, herbal, ayurvedic, and homeopathic treatment with both success as well as failure.



I am telling here some homeopathic medicines for this condition, which I found useful for, post Chikungunya joint pains.



1. Lycopodium Clavatum


2. Sulphur.

3. Natrum Sulph.

4. Sepia.

5. Nux Vomica.

6. Calcarea Phos.

7. Arsenic Album.

8. Colchicum Autumnale

9. Ferrum Metallicum

10. Agaricus Muscarius.

11. Chelidonium Majus.
12. Plumbum Metallicum.

13. Calcarea Carb.

14. Kalmia Latifolia

15. Rhus Tox.



According to symptoms of individual one or combination medicine can be very useful for the constant troublesome joint pains and stiffness after chikungunya fever.



{Please note this article is mainly for homeopathic practitioners and students to tell what I learned from my experience and to give idea to common people what should do if they are having persistent joint pains and stiffness after an acute attack of fever per se post chikungunya joint pain}

Hypothermia Home & Homeopathic Treatment

As winter is progressing number of death from hypothermia is also increasing that caused me to trace out some really beneficial homeopathic medicines for hypothermia.




We often heard about people dying due to cold weather mainly those of homeless. We often donate warm cloths for such homeless and poor peoples, but that is not enough for them as lots of these people suffers from some other diseases causing to have hypothermia. Starvation or inadequate food intake also causes such people to have hypothermia.



Hypothermia is also caused/made worse by some preexisting diseases such as chronic low-grade infections, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, etc and checking and treating these conditions can improve the condition dramatically.



Drinking lots of fluids also helps for low grade infections as well as to hypothermia. After consulting and/or checking thyroid one can start taking thyroid supplements, and taking breakfast early in morning is helpful to fight hypothermia.



Wearing four light warm cloths i.e. undergarment followed by warm inners followed by shirt then woolen jersey followed by any windproof/waterproof jacket is ideal to fight hypothermia. Covering head and neck is crucial too.  Nose and face should be covered too as inhaling cold air also causes heat loss from body.





15 Most Useful Homeopathic Medicines For Hypothermia

1. Rhus Tox.

2. Nux. Vomica

3. Arsenic

4. Dulcamara.

5. Nux Moschata.

6. Calcera Carb.

7. Causticum.

8. Silicea.

9. Heper Sulphur.

10. Sepia.

11. Belladonna.

12. Kali-Carb.

13. Aconite.

14. Am-Carb.

15. Aurum Metacullinum.



Any of these medications based on patient's individual problems can be very useful for hypothermia along with measures mentioned above.



Females with hypothermia should use Rhus Tox 30 two times in morning at 1 hour interval, Arsenic Album 30 two times in afternoon and Nux Moschata 30 evening and night. Males with hypothermia should use Rhus Tox 30 two times in morning at 1 hour interval, Arsenic Album 30 two times in afternoon and Nux Vomica 30 evening and night. Please note these homeopathic treatment is quite safe, but should be taken after consulting any local homeopathic doctor.


If you have any question, concern, or experience related to hypothermia and this article, please do not hesitate to share with me.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rakesh Kumar (B.H.M.S., N.H.M.C., Lko)

My Journey To Surkhet Nepal

Recently we made an amazing tour to Surkhet Nepal to attend a marriage. We made this tour from Lucknow though most of the tour memembers stared it from Ghaziabad. As we had heard this journey would consist of 186 km plane road and around 86km hill road, we tried to start journey early, but it was 8:45 am when we left Gomti Nagar. Our Santro car was rather overloaded. One should avoid overloaded driving as much as possible. It was rather rainy morning and overall driving condit?ons were poor so we reach Rupadeah at 2 PM. ???



{This Road (Jarwal Road/Station) was so good in comparision to what we were just travelled caused me to take a photo of this road though this road is not too long and overall road from Lucknow to Nepalgunj is not good.}
???



{Jarwal Road also had a railway station, which is the nearest Railway station to Nepalgunj Nepal border. A passenger train starts from Lucknow in Early morning and arrives Jarwar Road around 8:30 a.m. From Jarwal Road (station) Nepalgunj is about 100 km to travel via on Road}
Crossing The Border: India-Nepal border is open to both sides, but people should have identity cards while traveling both sides. If you are going Nepal by any personal vehicle then you have to do following things.


1. First one will face Indian police post who will make entery of your vehicle number, driver name and licence, and how many people are crossing via this vehicle. It is free of charge though they may ask some money, but it is not needed at all.
2. One can cross border and about 400 meter there is Nepal Coustom Office who will make entery and give you some documents, which you have to carry throughout the Nepal Journey. For motorcycle charges are around 70 rupees per day and for car it is around 275 rupees per day.
3. Then one should go ahead about 3 km ahead where traffice office will provide you temporary car/motorcycle number to be used in Nepal. They will charge around 70 rupees.
4. Then one should go ahead about 1.5 km and get traffice certificate from a Yatayat. They will charge according to where you want to go.

So fullfilling formalities is time taking because all documents are not completed at one place and also they will not stop you to fullfill these formalities, but if you missed any of them may be disturbed by traffic police and army here and there in Nepal so It would be best to ask about all formalities and documents at border.

We lost about 100 minutes in fullfilling these formalities and we were tense as we were slow and have to journey on hills so we were trying to complete the journey before sunset and so I was unable to take photos as I was mainly fullfilling all formalties.

?



{Nice Taxi From Nepalgunj to Surkhet via Kohlapur. Fare around 200-300 rupees though not sure as just asked a local person.}
?
We reached Kolhapur chowk around 4:10 from where one road was going to Banbasa, One Surkhet, One to Kathmandu, and last one was coming from Nepalganj.

Then after travelling about 10 Km Badria Prani Udyan arrived where we have to make an entery and get a paper for further travel. Free of charge.

We were little terrified as the hills were quite high than what we were expecting and road seemed too much zigzag thought it was not so.  We were also checked at two army camps of Badaria National Park to make entery there.  We were not fully prepared for the trip as our water was finished as well as snacks and our mobiles were inactive and on hills we were unable to find any PCO and ultimately got PCO in Chinchoo (main residential area in hill area before Surkhet)

???Lastly, we reached our venue around 7 pm. We were exhausted, but warm wellcome and marriage enviroment made us energitic and we chated until late night.  The next morning I wake up early and go for hill climbing. I go for hill climbing many times and enjoyed very much.
