Hi :) I took a hard fall last Tuesday and really hurt my kneecap on the asphalt. I did the best I could to clean it and applied my healing balm that normally takes pain away in less than a minute. Not on my knee though. It still hurts like crazy. Notice the most when I am wanting to sleep. Im not sure if the black part is from the asphalt or from dried blood. Too painful to clean anymore than I have. Any thoughts and remedies would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Lisa, Our body has the capacity to heal any injury naturally. Our body repairs the damaged cells and tissues on its own but the repairing process can be accelerated by following some tips. Apply turmeric paste A compound in the turmeric called curcumin possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which may enhance wound healing.  Apply aloe vera The leaves of the aloe vera plant contains gel like substances rich in vitamins and minerals, which promote wound healing. Coconut oil  Applying coconut oil to the wound also accelerates the process of healing. Garlic Garlic contains compounds that has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. So, make a paste of garlic by crushing garlic and mixing it with coconut and apply the paste locally on the injured tissues. Thank you

I suffer from stomach aches after consuming chappatis. And even bloating. Is there any natural remedy for bloating

Most Voted Answer

Nikita Mishra

11:16 AM | 12-01-2021

Hello Minal, Stomach ache after having food and bloating indicates that the digestive function is improper. The reason for improper digestive function may be wrong type of food, wrong timing of having food or lack of physical activity or a disturbed circadian rhythm.  Whenever we eat something which is difficult to digest for our digestive system, it leads to problems like stomach ache, bloating, acidity, etc. If you are eating chapatis, make sure that they are made of whole grains and most importantly they are properly cooked. Like chapatis, pay attention to whatever you eat. The food that you consume should be plant based natural food. Here are some details.    Diet to follow-  Drink 3 to 4 glasses of warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. This will help to flush the toxins out of the body.  Have Vitamin C rich foods like blueberries, orange, etc. Eat soaked raisins on an empty stomach in the morning.  Have sprouts, nuts, beans, and salads.  Eat fresh, seasonal, and locally available fruits and vegetables.  Drink freshly prepared homemade fruit juices with fibers. This will add bulk to the stool and will aid in the movement of the stool. Drink plenty of water during the day.  Have your dinner 3 to 4 hours before your sleeping time. Foods to avoid-  Avoid dairy products and animal foods.  Avoid processed, packaged, oily, and spicy foods.  Avoid refined oils and refined grains.  Avoid tea, coffee, and other caffeinated drinks.  Avoid carbonated drinks.  Exercise  Start the day with a brisk morning walk of at least 30min.  Do 12 sets of suryanamaskar daily in the morning.  Perform pranayam, specially anulom-vilom and bhastrika pranayam.  Take sunrays early in the morning.  Take short walks after every meal. Sleep A proper sleeping pattern is very important for a healthy digestive system. Hence, take proper sleep of at least 7-8 hours daily. Sleep early at night and also wake up early in the morning.  Thank you

Is there a way to treat reoccurring Urethral stricture. Pls advise

Most Voted Answer

01:25 PM | 04-12-2020

Hello Kiran, Urethral stricture is a condition in the urethra in which the urethra's lumen narrows down, resulting in restricted urine flow. It mostly affects men but in rare cases, urethral stricture in female can also be seen. There are various causes for urethral stricture. Any kind of inflammation that happens in the urethra causes it to scar and that could often be a cause of the stricture. Most common causes of urethral stricture include tumours, trauma, infection, urethral instrumentation.  How to prevent? Practising safe sex is a great way to prevent urethral stricture as STD is one of the common causes of urethral stricture.  What to do for getting relief? Here are some tips which will be effective if followed daily. Drink plenty of fluids, mainly water. It stimulates the urge and frequency of urinating. Hence staying hydrated and consuming more of diuretics ensures that there is no overgrowth of infection-causing bacteria in the urethra. Cranberry juice will be helpful in clearing the inflammation in the urethra. It also restores the pH balance to normal and also helps in breaking any blockage in the urethra. Hence, you should have a cup of unsweetened cranberry juice every day to treat urethral stricture faster. Thank you

Hello Pawan Kaur, Yes, there is definitely a solution that is completely in sync with nature for your condition to heal. Celiac disease is caused when the nutrients which we are eating are not reaching our body, the reason is that we are not having our diet in a healthy manner. Celiac disease is predominantly caused by intake of gluten, now that our GUT is having an issue that will definitely reflect on the skin. Acne and celiac disease have a common causative factor gluten, acne is a defensive response, gluten connects be completely digested and our blood starts protecting our body from it. Immunity response is stimulated and inflammation in the form of acne takes place. Hence to start with a lifestyle without gluten should be started. With a natural solution, you can definitely cure. Eat: Eating food that has a high amount of proteins are legumes, green leafy vegetables, nuts like almonds, walnuts, etc. A diet rich in Vitamin C should be part of your regime, lemons, oranges, cranberries are the sources of vitamin C which improves the action of collagen in your skin. Seeds like chia, pumpkin, and flax seeds are also necessary, Gluten in any form should be avoided, packaged food and milk products. Regular massaging your face is important to take care of the pigmentation. Here are a few face packs which you can try to deal with face problems. 1. A tablespoon of gram flour with one teaspoon of turmeric and rose water, make a thick paste and apply on your face alternately. 2. Blend a tablespoon of flaxseed and half beetroot together, this will give you a jelly-like consistency and this will help in treating facial acne. 3. There is one more way of coconut oil massage with one teaspoon of aloe vera gel, massage your face daily at night and keep it overnight. 4. Washing your face daily with neem powder with a teaspoon of turmeric daily will help you a lot in treating acne caused by dandruff. With this solution, both your digestion and skin problems will be cured. Exercise: Here are some exercises that you can start for your skin. Taking a brisk walk in the sun for 30-45 minutes daily is very useful as exposure to the sun is equivalent to good blood circulation. Practicing Suryanamaskar daily increases blood circulation and gives you healthy skin. Practice 12 sets at a time. Sit in Vajrasana after having a meal which will be helpful in treating the digestive tract issue. Meditation: While massaging your hair what you can do is close your eyes, and visualize your skin becoming clear and shinier and free from any type of illness, making it healthy. You can take a deep breath, start healthy music in the background you can feel the blood circulation getting a boost. This will help in relaxation and ensuring healthy skin.

Hello Vidya Sagar, Protein powder is made by synthetic products which are not healthy for our digestive tract. Recommending it to people having low digestive strength can be difficult as their body is not able to digest it. For protein plant-based sources is what needed for our body. Sprouts, sweet potatoes, nuts seeds like flax seeds, chia seeds are abundant in protein. Consuming legumes helps in easy absorption of protein. Hence you can always recommend healthy plant source protein for the health of others. Thank you

Hello, Anxiety is the indication about your bad mental health which is mainly due to incorrect lifestyle and incorrect eating habits like having a high fatty diet, not taking enough sleep, etc. But everything can be cured naturally by making just some small changes in the daily routine and eating habits. Here are a few tips that will surely help you: Meditation  Meditation is the ultimate key to achieving good mental health.  Just like our physical health, our mental health is also equally important and meditation is the best to achieve the same. Give 20 to 25 minutes from your busy day for meditation. Practice it in sukhasana or padma asana and concentrate on your breathing.  Daily meditating will surely lead to a healthy and happy mind. Diet Diet also has an impact on our mental health as our metabolism depends on the foods that we have which in turn affects the hormonal secretions. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice in it in the morning on an empty stomach. This will help to boost the metabolism at the start of the day. Have soaked raisins and other dry fruits to get the easily absorbable nutrients.  Eat sprouts, nuts, beans and salads. Include Vitamin C in your diet like blueberries, amla, orange or lemon as they have antioxidant properties.  Drink plenty of water throughout the day to eliminate the toxins out of the body and to be hydrated.  Avoid dairy products and animal products as they are not meant for the human digestive system and hence it results in the accumulation of toxins in the body.  Avoid processed, packaged and preserved foods as they have bad effects on our digestive system.  Yoga Daily yoga is very effective for achieving a good balance between the mind, body and soul. Practice suryanamaskar daily.  Do bhujanga asana, paschimottan asana, gomukha asana and padahasta asana.  Do pranayam regularly for 15-20min, specially anulom-vilom and kapalbhati pranayam.  Take sunrays early in the morning.  Sleep  The quality and pattern of the sleep also determine the state of our mental health as it affects the circadian rhythm and in turn the hormonal balance. Sometimes, lack of proper also leads to mental illness.  So, take proper sleep of at least 8 to 10 hours daily. Avoid electronic devices like mobiles, laptops, computers, tv, etc at least 1hour before sleeping to improve the quality of sleep.  Thank you
