Symptoms
The symptoms of the common cold are well known. However, many infectious diseases, such as influenza, dengue fever, chikungunya fever, etc., present similar symptoms, so it is advisable to consult a doctor whenever these symptoms appear.

Causes
Contact with infected persons or aerosol virus particles. Fatigue, weakness and stress may heighten individual susceptibility.

Prevention
Physical isolation is the only way to prevent infection. This is usually impracticable. Try to avoid infected persons and crowded public areas during changes of weather.

Risks & complications
This usually mild and common health problem can, if neglected or mismanaged, lead to more serious conditions such as bronchitis or pneumonia, especially in infants and the elderly.

Treatment
Purification therapy is recommended. Therapeutic purgation is used as a special procedure to drain out vitiated bio-products and restore neuro-hormonal function. Various Ayurvedic formulations are recommended.


Diet
Eat lightly, concentrating on leafy vegetables and fruits. Avoid fried or fatty foods; it is also advisable to refrain from frozen and reheated foods. Dairy products and meat products are not recommended.

Daily routine & habits
Use lukewarm water for drinking and washing. Avoid exposure to cold water, ice, snow and cold weather.


Home remedy
Hot facial fomentations and steam inhalations will help ease the nasal congestion. A teaspoonful of juice of ginger root with honey three times a day relieves some of the other symptoms.

Symptoms
Dry or hard stools, passed less frequently than once a day. Constipation may be acute and sudden or of long duration.Other symptoms: abdominal discomfort or heaviness, nausea, loss of appetite, halitosis.
Constipation is not itself a disease, but may be a symptom of various other disorders.

Constipation may follow an attack of diarrhoea or appear a day after taking a purgative. It is common in old age and pregnancy. Other causes may include low water intake, low fibre intake, mental stress, frequent voluntary suppression of the urge to relieve oneself, habitual use of laxatives and the side-effects of certain drugs.

Prevention & Diet
Foods rich in fibre, such as leafy vegetables, fruits and cereals are very helpful. Refrain from artificial foods and tobacco. Physically activity and mental relaxation can help manage this disorder.

Risks & Complications
Acute and severe constipation may be a sign of a more serious illness. In cases of vomiting and severe abdominal pain, immediately consult a doctor.


Treatment
Laxatives are the usual remedy for this condition. Therapeutic purgation can help drain out vitiated bio-products and cleanse the alimentary canal. A variety of Ayurvedic formulations are recommended.


Home Remedy
One teaspoonful of Chebulic myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) powder or ispaghula husk (Plantago ovata) at bedtime. These are natural laxatives.

Symptoms

Acid eructation, burning sensation in the chest and throat, indigestion, stomach pain, loss of appetite or excessive hunger, constipation or diarrhoea and sometimes vomiting.

Causes
Poorly digested foods and pitta-irritating diets. Hyperacidity may be aggravated by mental stress and negative emotions. Very spicy or heat-producing food and drink, including convenience and fast foods, alcohol, etc., may induce or aggravate the condition. Fasting without proper medical advice and drinking alcohol on an empty stomach may also trigger the condition.

Prevention
Diet: leafy vegetables and cereals are important preventives. Avoid artificial foods, alcohol and tobacco. Physical activity and mental relaxation also have a prophylactic effect.

Treatment
Purification therapy is recommended. Therapeutic emesis and purgation help detoxify the system. There are many Ayurvedic formulations recommended as correctives.

Avoid irregular mealtimes and fasting. Mental relaxation may diminish the severity of the attacks. Early to bed and early to rise is best; avoid sleeping during the day. Drink lukewarm water after meals.

Home Remedy
One teaspoonful of powder of eclipta alba three times a day.

Treatment

Alcohol and tobacco consumption should be restricted. Whey is highly beneficial. Raw papaya and banana are often found to be useful.
