A 38 years old patient came with the complaint of  discrete eruptions, diagnosed as psoriasis.  He has been suffering from this problem since past 25 years. Took several medications but nothing helped. The severity of the skin eruptions on the hands started increasing since few months which ultimately was disturbing his work life. 

During the case taking he described that his skin feels as if stretched. The skin has become hard and dry along with itching of the patches. He said that I always keep wondering what other people might be thinking about the eruptions on my face. If people don't know what is psoriasis, they will think it is contagious. When the patches increase in severity and spread to other parts of the body then i feel depressed, future looks challenging due the skin condition. Because of my skin problem i decided not to get married. 
Nobody should get affected by such disease. 

The feeling of being outcast and unfortunate. Mental grief because he was feeling it is difficult to recover. Based on this he was prescribed Hura which showed significant improvement in his skin condition. 

Psoriasis is a common disease of the immune system that manifests itself on the skin. Homeopathy is highly effective option for managing and curing psoriasis as it treats the whole person, believing all the symptoms are interrelated and select a medicine which most closely covers them all. 

Sleep-wake cycle is an integral part of our circadian rhythms. Restful sleep has a restorative function in our body and is not only important for conservation of energy and growth but also essential for memory, cognition, concentration, productivity and performance.

Any long-term disturbance in the sleep-wake pattern can have adverse health outcomes such as mood swings, migraines, impaired immunity, obesity, hormone disturbances, higher levels of inflammation causing increased risk of heart disease etc. On an average we need 6-8 hours of sleep per day, however, most of us are sleep deprived due to long working hours, working in different shifts, late night eating, increased caffeine/alcohol/nicotine intake closer to bedtime, underlying breathing disorders related to sleep, poor sleep ambience, sedentary habits etc.

Another concern in this digital age is the exponential increase in average screen time in all age groups in the form of TV/laptops/tablets/smartphones which emit artificial blue light. Prolonged exposure to blue light in the evening can inhibit our sleep patterns by suppressing the production of melatonin, a natural hormone which is secreted by the pineal gland situated deep in our brain and is crucial in synchronizing the sleep-wake cycle and other diverse circadian rhythms.

We, at Ananda Wellness, were approached by parents of a 5-year-old boy who was doing well under our treatment for autism for suddenly developing trouble falling asleep as well as maintaining sleep. He would fall asleep with great difficulty at 1:30 am and wake up at 3:30 am, throwing tantrums until parents switched on his favourite music or allowed him to watch car racing videos. Careful analysis revealed that he was fascinated by racing cars and flashy lights on a recent vacation and was seeking the same sensory experience by watching video games on repeat mode. He was prescribed a homeopathic remedy prepared from Melatonin which helped restore his normal sleep-wake pattern. On the occasion of World Sleep Day, we at Ananda Wellness, would like to highlight the role of homeopathy in optimizing sleep health and thus overall wellbeing.

A case of 53 yrs old male, known diabetic since 8yrs with a history of chronic alcohol abuse. He presented with inflammation in pancreas and bile duct obstruction resulting in jaundice.
Patient was complaining of constipation, a sensation of something stuck, scleral icterus, dark yellow urine, weakness, itching of the eyes, vomiting, reduced appetite, heartburn and backache radiating to the abdominal region.
On investigation liver enzymes were completely deranged.
According to the endocrinologist he required immediate stenting but patient was reluctant and consulted us.
Case was quite complex due to involvement of gallbladder, pancreas and liver.

Besides this the patient mentioned about some on going issues with his relatives and at workplace which had developed the feeling in him that people have harmful intentions against him. This would result into revengeful thoughts. But while connected to his spiritual energies he felt that his guru is with him and he would be forgiving. Though in certain situations he would have a conflict in his mind between his reason and his will. This had affected his confidence severely.

Based on the above he was prescribed Anacardium along with Cardus Marinus Q as an organ specific liver remedy.
Post treatment there was not only significant relief in his symptoms but also positive changes in the lab tests.

On World Hepatits Day we at Ananda Wellness would like to spread awareness about hepatitis and encourage homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy is useful as a preventive and also as a curative treatment for hepatitis. No two individuals having hepatitis display the same symptoms. Homeopathy takes into account such subtleties.
