Lifestyle tips for acidity

Amita asked, My sister has chronic Sychophrenia, sometimes her behavior is irrational and a bit aggresive. She is taking medicine like Hysocamus, and Ignatia, Chamomilla, these help her a lot. Is it advisable to continue taking these for a long time, or could you prescribe other medicines to help her to recovery. She loses concentration very soon while performing routine activities like reading newspaper or helping out with some kitchen work.

Dr Mukesh Batra answers, Pschophrenia is commonly known as split personality and such patients are normally intelligent but can also be destructive. It is not very easy to cure. A detailed case history is required and continuous monitoring of patient. You may give us details of your sister on www.drbatra.com

Dr Mukesh Batra answers, Lichen Plannus normally results from stress. It gives rise to greyish blackish spots which itch incontrollably. I would suggest that you try Arsenic Iod 30, one doze daily under your homeopath's supervision.

Dr Mukesh Batra answers, Warts are a viral infection of the skin. You can try a single doze of Thuja 30. Also try to avoid shaving, if you can, for some time. The medicine will help the warts to fall off without surgery.

aks_sharma76 asked, Hello Batra, I am a firm believer in Homoeopathy, I am suffering from chronic constipation and it's now at a stage where it is extemely painful to pass stool, the pain lasts sometimes the whole day and it's also painful when i am standing. Please advice some treatment plan. Thanks

Dr Mukesh Batra answers, It is difficult to understand by what you are saying is constipation. This varies from person to person. Some people pass stool once in few days and it is considered normal for them while others don't feel satisified even when they go 2-3 times a day.

I would recommend that you take lot of raw fruits and vegetables. Increase the fibre intake in your diet. It may also be possible that you may be suffering from piles or fissures as a result of chronic constipation. You need to get yourself checked and treated accordingly.

This is an autoimmune disorder and the reason is not known accept that in some cases it is related to stress, thyroid and diabeties. The success of homeopathic medicine depends on the extent of the patches. If they are localised they can definetly be removed.
