Voveran SR for Kidney Stone pain

Voveran SR for Kidney Stone pain

I have had a history of Kidney Stones and few days back I suffered from one acute stroke of abdominal pain. If you have ever suffered from Kidney Stone than you actually know how it feels like. The pain was so severe that I simply found it hard to breathe.

Initially it started with small abdominal cramp. I thought it to be normal stomach ache and so ignored it but as the pain started growing I immediately knew what was coming and rang up my uncle who is a general physician.  He advised me to take this over the counter medicine Voveran SR(which eventually turned out a life safer).

Voveran SR is a very strong pain killer and within few minutes of taking the OTC drug, the pain eased a bit. IF you are a kidney Stone patient, you know that it has no cure.  For the pain to ease the stone need to pass via urine or has to be surgically blasted in the kidney (after which it can pass via Urine). The intake of Voveran SR helped me sleep over the night and the next morning I immediately went to see a doctor. The doctor immediately asked me to take an Utra Sonography test and after seeing the reports of the test prescribed me plenty of medicines.

I started using the medicines prescribed by the doctor but in the evening the pain resurfaced and it was even worse. The prescribed medicines were not working and since it was late night I was in a fix, I didn’t know what to do as the pain was acute and unbearable. I had a tablet of Voveran SR left in my pocket so without giving it a second thought I took it with a glass of water. I know it wasn’t the wisest thing to do (as I already have consumed so many prescribed medicines) but the pain was so severe that I had to take the risk. After about 10-15 minutes the Over the counter drug started showing effect and I felt sleepy. I woke up only the next morning with a little abdominal pain again.

Well it is not advisable to use Voveran SR for minor problems but when the pain is strong and unbearable it is the best over the counter pain killer available in the market.

Major Causes of hair loss/ hair fall

Major Causes of hair loss/ hair fall

We often browse online looking for remedies to prevent hair fall but seldom do we try to understand the causes for hair loss. Those who are already suffering from hair fall / Alopecia can’t do much about it but those who are in the initial stages of hair loss can benefit by working on the causes of hair loss rather than looking for ways to prevent hair loss.

Here is a list of possible reasons resulting in hair fall:

1.       Tension or stress at work: Believe it or not tension or stress is a major reason for hair loss. Work over load, stress and friction can result in hair fall. So try and stay away from stress and tension. A good massage once in two to three weeks can help a lot in relieving tension.

2.       Poor diet: Second on the list is poor diet. Inadequate protein and vitamins can also effect you hair growth so take care to intake adequate proteins and vitamins. Lack of biotin is a major cause for hair fall, so do include plenty of green leafy vegetable in your diet. Other sources of biotin includes, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, walnut, almond, carrot, egg, strawberries, raspberries and vegetables such as onion, cabbage, cucumbers and cauliflowers.

3.       Exposure to Sun: Over exposure to sun can also be a major cause for hair loss. The UV rays can damage your hair and make it dull and brittle.

4.       Illness: When you are sick the body doesn’t get the required supply of vitamins and proteins which can cause hair fall.

5.       Use of Colorants/ dye: frequent use of colorants can also cause hair fall. 

6.       Bleaching of hair: In the modern world everyone wants to look trendy and stylish. You bleach your hair, you use coloring agents but all these can cause permanent damage to your hair roots. So avoid bleaching of your hair if want it healthy and long for years to come.

So these are the major reasons for hair loss, so work on it now instead of searching for ways to prevent hair loss later.

Procerin XT for hair loss treatment

Procerin XT for hair loss treatment

If you are one of those suffering from hair loss problem than you must have come across Procerin XT. Procerin XT is one of the top selling products for treating hair loss. As we all known hair loss is the result of increase of testosterone levels in the body and as such the use of Procerin XT inhibits the production of Dihydrotestosterone.

The key ingredient present in Procerin XT is Saw Palmetto, deep red berries found basically in the southern part of America, and these berries are said to lower the testosterone levels in the body. So depending on this theory Procerin XT can be helpful in treating hair loss but whether it can fight hereditary hair loss problem is still unknown.

In the medical world there are no real proofs of the use of Procerin XT for treating hair loss, so using the product can be beneficial for some and futile for others. But being a product based on herbs, Procerin XT can be used without the fear of any side effects.

In case of any side effects after using Procerin XT, it would be advisable to stop using the product immediately and seek for medical help. If any allergic reactions occur after using Procerin XT, stop administering the medicine and consult a doctor. Using Procerin XT during pregnancy and lactation is not advisable. 

After having tried so many medicines for treating hair loss I don’t feel using Procerin XT would be of much help but those who are fighting early symptoms of hair loss, may be using Procerin XT would be of some help. I know it is expensive but if it can at least control hair loss, I would say Procerin XT is worth a try.

Ginger Scalp massage- a natural therapy for hair loss

If you are suffering from hair loss than you must have pretty often been suggested the use of ginger juice massage into your scalp for preventing hair loss. But the real question is does it really work? Is there any science behind the ginger therapy for hair treatment?

Going through my blog you must have realized that I am suffering from Hair loss ( Male pattern alopecia) and have tried almost every product available in the market and now I am trying all those natural and herbal treatment which are said to control hair loss and stimulate hair growth.

Ginger juice scalp massage treatment is one of the most recommended natural therapies for hair loss and so I thought of giving it a try and after using it for about 3-4 months I am writing my experience which can help you as well.

How to use it?

Extract Ginger juice in a glass bowl and use it immediately. Use your finger tips to gently massage ginger juice into the scalp. If possible cut your hair short so that you hair doesn’t obstruct the juice reaching your scalp. Massage gently for 5-10 minutes into the scalp and leave it for 10-15 minutes for it to penetrate the scalp. Now wash it off with cold water, avoid using shampoo or other chemical products which can cause damage to your hair.

Use it every day before shower if possible (else 3-4 times a week). You will see prominent changes in just 3-4 weeks of regular use. Besides using the ginger scalp massage therapy concentrate on including good nutrition in your diet.

How does it work?

 I am not sure about how ginger juice helps in promoting hair growth but regular massage promotes proper circulation of blood into the scalp which eventually helps hair growth.

So ginger juice therapy is not a myth and if used regularly can stop hair loss and promote hair growth.

Top 10 natural ways to fight hair loss

Top 10 natural ways to fight hair loss

I have been facing hair loss or male pattern alopecia for some time now and after trying all kind of medications (which hasn’t helped me much), I have decided to go the natural way and in this article I would like to share top 10 natural ways of keeping the hair healthy and preventing hair loss.

1. First and the most important point is your diet. Lack of proteins and vitamins is one of the major causes for hair loss. So if you want to prevent hair loss than you need to take proper care of your diet. Avoid junk food and add plenty of green leafy vegetables in your diet. Proper vitamins and mineral supplements help a long way in preventing hair loss.                                                                                                  
2. Secondly avoid using harmful chemicals on your hair.  All those hair gels, hair cream, anti dandruff shampoos, etc doesn’t do your hair any good. Instead they cause permanent damage to your hair. So for a healthy hair avoiding using these products, use a mild and if possible herbal based shampoo.
3. Don’t use hot water to wash your hair. Hot water takes away the protein oil from your hair and leaves it rough, dry and damaged.
4. Using ginger juice can also help control hair loss. It is believed that using ginger juice regularly on your scalp can stimulate hair growth. Having used it for few months I can guarantee that it prevents hair loss (but haven’t experience any kind of hair re growth so far). Apply ginger juice over the scalp and massage it gently, lave it for over 10-15 minutes and wash off thoroughly with water. Use shampoo only if required.
5. Use Almond or coconut hair oil to nourish your hair. Almond oil and coconut oil both provides the hair nutrition and protein to strengthen the hair roots and make it strong and healthy.
6. Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight; use a cap if required during long outings.
7. Comb your hair regularly, if possible avoid plastic comb. Avoid combing when your hair is wet as it damages your hair and makes it much more brittle.
8. Drink plenty of fresh water. Drinking water keeps your whole body healthy and rejuvenated, so a healthy body means health hair.
9. Massage your scalp at least 2-3 times a week. A proper massage facilitates proper circulation of blood which ultimately prevents hair loss.
10. Don’t use blower’s and hair driers to dry your hair. Using driers makes the hair dry, rough and brittle.
