• Medicine is not merely a science but an art as well.
• The science of medicine is of fundamental importance to man's well-being and survival.

TREATING "URTICARIA" IN SIDDHA MEDICINE...!!!

• Urticaria is a skin condition, commonly caused by an allergic reaction, that is characterized by raised red skin welts.
• Urticaria can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, and ears.
• It may vary in size from about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in diameter to the size of a dinner plate.
• There will be Itching and burning in the affected regions.
• Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance[allergy due to insects exposure] or an immune response to food or some other allergen.
• Emotional stress increases the risk of urticarial lesions.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING URTICARIAL ATTACK:

• The skin lesions of urticarial disease are caused by an inflammatory reaction in the skin, causing leakage of capillaries in the skin layer causing oedema.
• The oedema is lasting until the interstitial fluid is absorbed into the surrounding cells.
• Urticarial disease is thought to be caused by the release of histamine and other mediators of inflammation (cytokines) from cells in the skin.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS:

• Tomatoes, strawberries, strong cheese,dark fish,dry fish,chicken and fermented foods directly affect this problem.
• Although these 'pseudo-allergens' aren't the primary cause of urticaria, they do tend to aggravate it.
• Viral infections aggravate urticarial attack also initiate in some instances.
• Anxiety and tension also aggravate urticaria some times.

COMPLICATIONS:

• In more serious cases when swelling occurs inside the mouth or throat, complications can include difficulty breathing leading to a loss of consciousness.
• Severe urticaria may be noticed in ''ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK'' which is a serious allergic reaction involving the heart or lungs.
• In such condition,bronchial tubes become narrow causing difficult to breath.Blood pressure drops causing dizziness,loss of consciousness or even death. Anaphylactic shock occurs rapidly, and requires immediate medical care.
  

URTICARIA TREATMENT IN MODERN MEDICINE:

• Skin specialists say that treating urticaria is difficult.Treatment procedure include

1.Avoiding known allergens

2.Anti histamines

3.Anti pruritic preparations

4.Cortico steroids.

MY PERSONAL VIEW:

• Urticaria cases are common in my clinical practice.
• When a patient come to my clinic, I use to explain about the disease and also about the treatment options to the patient.
• If necessary I use to send the patient to a proper dermatologist.Usually patients who seek Siddha medicine for urticaria have a long history of previous medication.
• Most of the patients are resistant to anti-allergic drugs and even some of them resistant to corticosteroids.
• "Speedy recovery" will be the expectation of each and every patient...no doubt.
• New urticaria patients usually not co-operating with Siddha physician because they expect complete cure within few days.
• They don't know about the seriousness of the disease and the line of treatment.
• Not like that,"chronic patients" who have previous experience in treatment, co-operate fully with siddha physician.

SIDDHA TREATMENT:

The line of treatment for urticaria include 3 steps.

1.Clearing Gastro Intestinal Tract with mild herbal laxatives and vermifuge.

2.Internal medicine for severe allergic reactions which contain purified sulphur and minarals.

3.Siddha Blood Purifiers to prevent recurrence which are mostly herbals for a long maintenance dose.

"Siddha cure is excellent in CHRONIC URTICARIA and I can say with confidence that 'URTICARIA' CAN BE SAFELY MANAGED IN SIDDHA MEDICINE WITH SUCCESS...!!!"

ALL -RECTAL - PROBLEMS ARE NOT ''PILES...!!!'' BEWARE OF ABUSERS

Piles or Hemorrhoids are varicosity or swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus.

CAUSES:

• Hemorrhoid include genetic pre disposing(weak rectal vein walls and or valves).
• Excessive strain during passing motion,and too much pressure on the rectal veins due to poor muscle tone causing hemorrhoids.
• Sitting for a prolonged periods of time can cause hemorrhoids.
• Hypertension particularly in the portal vein causing haemorrhoid(ex:patients with Cirrhosis of Liver).
• Recurrent constipation or Diarrhoea may cause hemorrhoids.
• Pregnancy causes haemorrhoid due to the pressure over the rectal vein.
• Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine can cause hemorrhoids.

Based on the severity of piles ,it is classified in to 4 degrees.

First degree Piles: Piles that bleed but do not bulge out of the anal opening.
Second degree Piles: In the early stage the piles may prolapse during the passage of stool but they recede (draw back) on their own.
Third degree Piles: As the disease progresses the piles do not recede back on their own and have to be replaced by hand.
Fourth degree Piles: In still advanced cases the Piles may prolapse anytime of the day (i.e. even without passage of stool) especially if the person is tired or exerts himself. These Piles remain permanently prolapsed.
IN SIDDHA SYSTEM:

• In Siddha system ,Hemorrhoids are called "MOOLA NOI".
• In Siddha literatures, 21-types of Hemorrhoids are explained in detail.
• Among the 21 types,9 of them are said to be "not curable".
• Not curable means that these types not respond to oral medicines.
• For such cases surgical methods were carried out in the siddha system.
• Some specialised instruments like 'probe' and 'proctoscope' were used by the very old siddha surgeons.
• Even now siddha surgical procedure is practiced in some places of Tamilnadu and Kerala of south India.
• A medicated 'thread' called KAARA NOOL (OR) corrosive thread is the main part of Siddha surgical method for Piles.
• In the Government Ayurveda Medical College of Trivandrum,this "corrosive thread" method is practiced daily today.
• This medicated thread cuts the pile mass and the waste materials around the affected region and then the surgical ulcer is healed with external medicines.
• Piles as well as Fistulas are being treated with this special technique.

IN MY PERSONAL VIEW:

• In my clinical practice,I am treating a lot of piles patients daily.
• Patients are treated only with oral medications and no more surgical procedure is carried out here.
• Bleeding piles cases (1st degree) respond very well with oral medicines.
• Rectal bleeding is arrested very quickly even in the second day.
• The treatment is continued for at least 40days.
• Patients with First degree and Second degree piles are treated successfully with oral medicines.
• Severe pain and rectal irritation come to control fully within a month.
• All of that patients are satisfactorily treated and they are totally free from their irritating symptoms after treatment.
• Constipation is then managed with die tics and simple Siddha bowel regulators.
• But in the 3rd and 4th degree cases, oral drug action is not satisfactory and so I use to refer the patients to surgical experts for further managements.
• Anal fissures are also treated successfully in siddha medicine.

SPECIAL ADVICE TO THE PILES PATIENTS:

• Patients are strictly advised to drink plenty of oral fluids.[2-3 liters approx daily]
• Chilly,fried foods,non-vegetarian items,alcohol & smoking are advised to avoid fully.
• Patients are advised to take fibre foods like vegetables and fruits for easy & smooth bowel.Prolonged sitting in a particular position is to be avoided.

"BEWARE....!!"

• Patients should be very careful about the advertisements like "CURE FOR PILES IN 3 DAYS".
• All of the rectal problems are not Piles.
• All of the problem related to piles can't be cured by medicines.
