Divya Mukta Vati (for High Blood Pressure)

Product Description

Divya Mukti Vati is an ancient ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of high blood pressure. Though western medicine claims high blood pressure cannot be cured, reasearch by Swami Ramdev's Patanjali Yoga Pith has shown that Divya Mukta Vati can immediately reduce your blood pressure to normal within 3 or 4 days of taking, and with continued use you can become cured of the disease. For best results you should also practice the special breathing exercises (pranayama) as outlined in Swam Ramdev's book "Pranayama: Its Philosophy & Practice".

Main Ingredients:

A celestial medicine prepared with pious herbs found in the Himalayas, like Brahmi, Sankha-pushpi, Ustukhudusa (Arabian or French Lavender), Arjuna, Puskara-mula, Jata-mamsi, Sarpagandha, Jyotishmati, Vaca, Ashvagandha and other cooling herbs like Moti Pishti (Mukta Pishti).

Therapeutic Uses:

• Absolutely free from side effects.
• Cures high blood pressure caused by any reason, either by kidney disorder, heart disease or by increased cholestrol, anxiety, tension, or for hereditary reasons.
• Also cures associated complications like insomnia, feeling of uneasiness, palpitation, pain in the chest and head. There is no need to take any extra medicine for the relief of these complications. Intake of this 'Mukta Vati' will not produce excessive sleep in persons who already have normal sleep.
• There is no need to take allopathic or any other medicine along with the administration of 'Mukta Vati'. If a patient already takes any other medicine he may stop that undoubtedly. If any patient has been taking other medicine for a long time, or is habituated to taking that medicine, then first he should gradually reduce the dose of that medicine along with the intake of 'Mukta Vati'. Thereafter, he may stop taking that other medicine gradually.
• Mukta Vati also gives immediate relief to those patients whose blood pressure doesn't become normal even after taking allopathic medicine, and who are suffering from insomnia (sleeplessness) as well as uneasiness.
• Allopathic medicines give only temporary relief, as they are not able to root out the disease, whereas 'Mukta Vati' cures the disease forever within a short period of one or one and a half years. It normalizes the blood pressure, and there is no need to take any other medicine.
• If for exceptional reasons one has to take 'Mukta Vati' for a long time, still there is no harm as it doesn't produce any side effect.

Mode of Administration & Dosage:

• If B.P. is 160/100 mmhg. or more while taking allopathic medicine: 1-2 tabs, thrice a day - before breakfast, before lunch, and one hour before diner with fresh water.
• If B.P. is 140/90 mmhg. while taking allopathic medicine: 1-2 tabs twice a day - before breakfast and diner.
• It will be more effective if tablet is chewed first and then water is taken. Allopathic medicine should be stopped when B.P. becomes normal.

Note:

If patient is taking allopathic medicine then he should be made to check his B.P. after starting 'Mukta Vati'. When B.P. becomes normal even without taking allopathic medicine then allopathic medicine should be discontinued. If patient is habituated to taking allopathic medicine, then the dosage should be reduced gradually and then stopped. Meanwhile 2 tablets, of 'Mukta Vati' (before breakfast or lunch) should be continued. If by taking 'Mukta Vati' (2 tabs.) once a day, B.P. becomes normal for some period, then dosage should be reduced to one tablet per day in the morning. This wil stablize B.P. in the normal level. Dose of one tablet (once a day) should be continued for some days. Then B.P. will be come 120/ 80 mmhg, or less. Now the dose of 'Mukta Vati' should be reduced to one tablet twice a week, and then one tab once a week. Thereafter intake of the medicine should be stopped. Now B.P. will remain normal and the patient will be healthy and fit.

Prescriptions:

• Take light and digestive food;
• Take 2 to 4 tumblers of water early in the morning.

Prohibitions:

Take salt in less quantity. In the place of sea-salt, rock-salt should be taken.

(40 grams of Divya Mukta Vati produced by Swami Ramdev's Divya Pharmacy. Approximately 120 tablets per bottle.)

Aswagandharishtam

Hi,

Do u know if Aswagandharishtam is good to control epilepsy ?

Thx

Hi Nipun

Aswagandharishtam is useful an anti-stress supportive treatment in
various ailments where central nervous system is involved. If you are
specifically looking for anti-epilepsy herbs/formulations, several
better alternatives exist. Some of them are described in

ayurvedaonline/message/2604

Though above post refers to vertigo, some of the formulations
mentioned there, e.g. Brahmi Ghrutam and Smruti Sagar Ras have been
used by this author as anti-epileptic medicines successfully.

Even ashwagandharishtam has been discussed in that post, but it can
serve as supportive but not controlling medicine in case of epilepsy.

Following post was inspired by the case of your son, wherein anti-
epileptic properties of durva grass were mentioned:

Slimming, Anxity, Aswagandha

Under Topic of the month, Nervous system Vatic Disorders, the issue
of anxiety and also a major herb which treats it is addressed in this
post. The use of Aswagandha leaves for slimming is touched upon.

Anxiety, is a very common occurrence, often accompanies depression.
It is characterized by a feeling of impending disaster and an
inability to deal with the pressures of everyday life. Insomnia also
accompanies anxiety. For poor sleepers following website offers
simple and good tips:

http://www.well.com/user/mick/insomnia/insomnia.html

Anxiety attacks come especially while adjusting to a new situation,
for which mind was not able to do any rehearsal. Quite often anxiety
is stress-related. For instance, if you normally get up at 6:30 AM
and one day if you need to get up at 04:45 AM to catch an early
morning flight, the mind imagines all mishaps like alarm clock
failure, traffic jam, car breakdown, your oversleeping, etc. and does
not allow you to sleep. Catching that flight is a question of life
and death. The palpitations are caused while taking an examination,
facing an interview and it is the mind which makes you fail.
Similarly, butterflies in stomach while making a business
presentation or presenting a paper in a large audience.

The anxiety disorder is divided into different types and modern
medications available along with their side effects can be studied on:

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/anxiety/anxiety.cfm

The modern medication may control the symptoms but may not cure the
disease, as noted on above site. The reason why this state arises,
according to author, is inability of the mind to stop thinking and
intellect feeding the mind all possible options. The most wonderful
and intricate creation of God is the human mind. All the yogis on the
path of self-realization are spending years and births to go to that
no-mind situation.

The persons engaged in intellectual professions (IT, medicine,
finance) and "burning to succeed" have to keep reading much
information. Many possible options which can be present based on
information at hand have to be weighed carefully and most likely
outcome has to be chosen. This is the filed of investigation. Medical
diagnosis using modern medical science is often this type. The person
gifted with "medha", on the other hand studies the situation like an
experienced chase player, who grasps the board quickly and makes a
move subconsciously. His brain has all data and makes the decision
based on artificial intelligence developed through the experience.
When brain, though using its faculties full steam, lacks the adequate
nutrition, mental fatigue results. Thinking ability is the gift
Almighty has given to everyone to a varying degree; it is only when
the nutrition does not provide toning cranial nerves, then problems
arise. Before studying Ayurveda recommendations, a cursory glance at
herbal proposals from other countries may be useful, since ayurvedic herbs from
India are often difficult to obtain elsewhere. The herbs used
provide a tranquilizing effect.

Chinese herbalist recommend herbs with the unusual names of zizyphi
seed and ligustrum. Ligustrum is one of the herbs commonly used to
support the adrenal glands when a person is under stress. Studies
conducted in China showed that these herbs are successful anti-
anxiety agents. In the same studies, both herbs proved even more
potent when combined with licorice and the Chinese herbs poria and
bunge root. This ancient Chinese combination is known as
Suanzaorentang. A 1986 study showed that this treatment is almost as
effective as the anti-anxiety drug diazepam (known commercially as
Valium) in dealing with anxiety, weakness, irritability and insomnia.
When taken three times a day, the herbal combination, unlike the
drug, improved psychomotor skills and produced no side effects. In
another 1986 study done in Europe, this same combination helped
people whose anxiety attacks were so severe that they often
experienced heart palpitations, chest pains and shortness of breath.
Valerian has also been compared with various prescription drugs. It
is no wonder, considering that this herb affects the same nerve
receptors as benzodiazepines. The most popular of these tranquilizers
is Valium, which doctors have long prescribed to relieve symptoms of
anxiety. The drug is also used to lessen the anxiety, agitation and
tremors that occur during alcohol and nicotine withdrawal.

Physicians in Germany commonly prescribe valerian in place of Valium
or Xanax (another very common anti-anxiety drug) for mild and even
moderate cases of anxiety. Some recommend fairly large doses—up to
two teaspoons of the tincture at least twice a day. If you are
taking Valium, Xanax or related drugs on the advice of a physician,
do not discontinue them without your doctor's approval. No
prescription drug should be discontinued before the prescribed stop
date without consulting a doctor. They are addictive. You may see
drugawareness.com

The results of one study conducted in 1993 showed that valerian and
hops combination calms the central nervous system. When volunteers
took this combination, several measurements showed that they
experienced less depression and anxiety. In fact, the herbs worked
faster than if the subjects had been given prescription drugs—hops
and valerian worked in only two weeks, as opposed to the six weeks
required for drugs. The herbs also caused far fewer side effects. If
you are used to strong prescription sedatives, herbs such as valerian
seem to have a harder time taking effect.

Motherwort—recognized today as a heart herb that also increases blood
circulation in the brain—was recommended by the seventeenth-century
herbalist Nicholas Culpeper to prevent melancholy. In modern times,
it has been studied in Germany, where it is recognized as a mild
sedative effective for treating anxiety and sleep disorders.
Modern herbalists find that both lemon balm and motherwort help
alleviate depression, especially when combined with other
antidepressant herbs. And aromatherapists commonly use the scent of
lemon balm to treat depression.

For relieving depression and anxiety capsules of GLA, which is found
in evening primrose, borage and black currant seed oils can also be
taken. In studies done at the London Children's Hyperactive Clinic in
England, evening primrose oil was shown to reduce depression and
nightmares in children.

In Ayurveda commonly prescribed herb is Ashwagandha commonly referred
as Indian ginseng. In a 1990 study, ashwagandha was given to people
who had been diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Ashwaganda treatments
improved the mental condition of most participants in only three
months. This herb is used to such an extent in India, that it is
worthwhile studying many other usages for it as well.

The city dweller is subjected to both body and mental stress these
days. The nervous debility causes fatigue, insomnia and weakness.
Coughing, asthma attacks, water retention and even leucodema are
likely when such a debility continues for a long time. Other than
physical weakness, waist pain and uterus pain can occur for ladies.
In many cases, they loose libido after birth of one or two children.
Aswagandha is indicated in all such cases. In India it is available
round the year, more so after monsoons. It strengthens all seven
dhatus. It is atonic for both men and women. If ladies are suffering
from menstrual disorders causing unnatural discharges and back pains,
Aswagandha provides amazing results. For underweight persons, it
causes weight build up.

Aswagandha is an aphrodisiac, especially when libido needs to be
built up. Semen debility, premature ejaculation, wet dreams are
common situations wherein just a teaspoon of following mixture helps.
Aswagandha, Satavari, Gokharu, Vidarikand, Yeshtimadhu, Kapikachhu
Seeds. Grind all six in equal proportion and take one tsp of the
mixture daily morning evening along with honey, sweet milk or
Ghee+Sugar. In ayurveda, whereever Ghee is mentioned, treat it as
Indian Cow Ghee and Sugar means crystal sugar.

Author has used this mixture for childless couples. Aswagandha tailam
has been used for massage. It increases fleshy tissues. Girls with
inadequate bust before marriage, can use it to develop those glands.
Aswagandha Avaleha is similar to Chyvanprasha, a nervine and body
tonic. There are eighteen items used while preparing this Leha. It
can be prepared at home also, provided one has energy and patience.
By taking 1-2 tsp of this "Leha" followed by a cup of milk, Waist
pain, fatigue after the loss of dhatu during sex gets reduced.

One can prepare Aswagandha Pak also. Take Indian Cow Milk, four times
by weight of aswgandha powder. Mix both and slow boil while stirring
to make khoya. This khoya is mixed with cow ghee and heated till
golden brown. Add crystal sugar syrup. When growing children are
fed "Pedha" made from this aswgandha pak, they build up muscles
proportionately and strength. The intellect also builds up in case of
teenagers as aswagandha is a nervine tonic. Those who are underweight
and suffer from anxiety, can use this Pak beneficially, 1 tsp morning
evening.

After locking the house and starting the car, one often has a doubt
whether he closed all the taps, switched off lights, etc. This kind
of forgetfulness can be corrected by Aswgandha. It is also a
galactogogue, where lactating mothers can use an equal mixture of
aswgandha and vidarikand (1-1 tsp 2x daily) to increase milk supply.
The nervine weakness during oldage gets corrected by this mixture.
This experiment can be done round the year and year after year. No
side effects.

An arishtam made by aswagandha is known as "Aswagandharishtam". 2 tsp
with equal water at bedtime causes deep sleep, after the usage for
about a month. Overworking intellectuals should often use it to
offset nervous debility due to hyperactivity.

Aswagandha can be taken along with dates and shilajit or dates+ghee+
shilajit strictly under the supervision of a vaidya. Health and
beauty both can be increased by this experiment. Many vaidhyas add
aswagandha to Chyavan prasha. Aswagandha Lepa can be used on aching
joints as pain reliever. The patients suffering from sciatica can
benefit by taking aswgandha formulations. It is also useful as tonic
during convalscence after T.B.

Other usages include Aswgandha kashaya along with ghee and milk to
pregnant women to improve their strength and body tone, its powder
along with Amla juice and licorice powder for improving eyesight.
Juice of its fresh leaves, when applied on external swellings and
tumors it causes them to become soft and less sore. It appears to
reove water on a limited use.

Aswagandha is brain nutrient, shodhak, vata pacifier, rasayan (anti-
ageing). Harmless and cheap herb. If a lady takes its 1 tsp powder
with cow milk for three days morning evening after the completion of
menses, the chances of conception increase. On the other hand, ½ tsp
turmeric powder along with honey kill those chances. Aswagandha
powder reduces the phosphates being rejected through kidney. The
author used it successfully to cure such a genetic kidney defect for
a teenager boy. Aswgandha can also be used by combining it with
Shankhpushpi, Brahmi, raisins to enhance its nervine tonic effects.

The scan of several ancient texts and discussion with practitioners
indicates that no mention/experience exists on use of aswgandha
leaves for slimming. The herb builds rather than reduces. The roots
are extensively used rather than leaves.

Rumalaya forte tablets fortify Himalaya’s presence in arthritis control

Rumalaya forte tablets fortify Himalaya’s presence in arthritis control
EHM Team - Bangalore

Himalaya, pioneer in herbal healthcare and producer of the popular Liv 52 has strengthened its presence in the anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory market with the launch of Rumalaya forte in January this year. The existing brands of Himalaya such as Rumalaya tablets and Rumalaya cream are well accepted by the medical fraternity for arthritis and other painful inflammatory disorders of muscles and joints.

Arthritis and inflammatory disorders of muscles and joints account for more than 31.5 crore outpatient visits every year worldwide and these disorders result in symptoms like pain, swelling, stiffness, restricted mobility of joints and lead to deterioration in the quality of life. Arthritis erodes the capability to perform basic functions, prevents the person from participating in daily routine activities and can cause emotional and socio-economic problems.

Unfortunately, current therapies such as NSAIDs are less than ideal as most of the NSAIDs are known to cause gastric irritation, gastrointestinal ulceration, reduced renal blood flow, platelet dysfunction and exacerbation of asthma, allergic reactions and skin rashes. Hence, these drugs are not recommended for long-term administration. Though the newer NSAIDs are considered to be safer, they have limitation in terms of cost of therapy, which is beyond the reach of common people.

Present therapies present a lot of side effects and then there is also the concern about escalating costs. “For this niche, Himalaya developed an effective, safe and cost effective medicine for better arthritis control. These aspects are very important for patients who do not tolerate NSAIDs and are high-risk patients,” said Philipe Haydon GM-Pharma Marketing.

Rumalaya forte is specially formulated for long-term use in arthritis and other painful inflammatory disorders affecting muscles and joints. Rumalaya forte is an effective and safe alternative to other anti-inflammatory drugs. Rumalaya forte is a potent herbomineral formulation with the dual advantage of Shallaki and Guggulu. Rumalaya forte provides better arthritis control, and thus improves the quality of life in arthritic patients. Shallaki and Guggulu are well known in medical and scientific communities across the world for their proven efficacy in joint care. Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) present in Rumalaya forte is approved by the FDA and Council of Europe. Guduchi in Rumalaya forte is well known for its immunomodulatory activity. Rumalaya forte also contains Rasna, Yashti-madhu and Gokshura. Clinical trials have proven the effectiveness and safety of Rumalaya forte. Rumalaya forte exerts potent immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory analgesic actions, and thereby reduces joint swelling, relieves pain and improves joint mobility. The market for anti-rheumatic, ani-inflammatory and analgesic preparations is huge and NSAIDs form the largest segment of this market.

The NSAIDs market is estimated to be around Rs 800 crore and growing at 14 per cent annually (Source: ORG MARG data of November 2001). An interesting fact is that, this market for anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic preparations contributes around five per cent to the total pharma market. Rumalaya forte comes with a twice-daily dose and is available in a convenient monthly dose pack of 60 tablets (2 strips of 30s), the cost of which is Rs 90. Himalaya with its excellent market coverage and penetration aims to strengthen its position in the vast anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory & analgesic preparations market, with the launch of Rumalaya forte tablets.

Rupanya Ada Kaedah Rawatan Sakit Kronik Tanpa Bedah

Jumaat Jun 25, 2010

Oleh HAMID KARIM

MENGENAL PASTI jenis rawatan yang sesuai adalah sebahagian daripada elemen penting dalam pengurusan merawat kesakitan. Namun hal ini sering terlepas pandang oleh kebanyakan pesakit khususnya di kalangan mereka yang mengidap penyakit kronik di bahagian tulang belakang yang sukar disembuhkan dalam tempoh yang lama.

Oleh sebab berlakunya kecelaruan mengurus kesakitan yang dihidapi, khususnya dalam menentu atau mengenalpasti rawatan tepat dan terbaik, banyak pesakit terlantar menderita kesakitan yang berpanjangan dan paling menyedihkan ada di antara mereka kehilangan peluang untuk sembuh seperti sediakala.

Pentingnya mengenalpasti rawatan dan menguruskan kesakitan ini ditegaskan oleh seorang pakar sakit kronik Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Dr Nizar Abdul Jalil.

Menurut beliau, kegagalan pesakit mendapat rawatan yang tepat berhubung penyakit yang mereka hidapi menjadi antara punca sakit kronik seperti cakera gelincir (slip disc) di tulang belakang atau kecederaan facet dihidapi akan menjadi liabiliti yang berpanjangan.

Akibatnya, pesakit terus-menerus menanggung kesakitan dan terlantar serta sebahagiannya seperti putus harapan untuk mencuba rawatan seterusnya.

Menerusi pengalaman sendiri, penulis didedahkan oleh Dr Nizar bahawa pesakit kronik hari ini berhak untuk mendapatkan rawatan tepat dan terbaik. Pengalaman banyak pesakit sebelum ini yang gagal sembuh daripada sakit kronik sehingga ada di antara mereka lumpuh sepanjang hayat akibat daripada kelemahan menguruskan jenis rawatan patut dijadikan iktibar.

Mengikut amalan biasa, kebanyakan pesakit kronik di negara ini terutama yang mengidap kecederaan cakera pada tulang belakang katanya, akan dirujuk kepada pakar ortopedik bagi tujuan penentuan sakit dan rawatan.

Hal ini bagaimanapun berbeza di negara jiran, Singapura kerana menurut Dr Nizar, pesakit di negara itu sebaliknya akan dirujuk terus kepada pakar sakit kronik terlebih dulu untuk didianogsis dan diberi penentuan rawatan sebelum dirujuk kepada pakar ortopedik atau yang berkaitan.

Hanya jika keadaan tidak boleh dielakkan, barulah pesakit boleh menerima cadangan pakar ortopedik agar menjalani pembedahan. Bagaimanapun, keadaan hari ini sememangnya telah jauh berubah. Pesakit berhak memperolehi pengetahuan tentang rawatan konservatif, iaitu rawatan tanpa pembedahan bagi mengelak daripada berdepan risiko yang lebih besar.

Bidang rawatan yang dipelopori oleh Dr Nizar ini membayangkan kemungkinan pesakit kronik di negara kita mempunyai peluang untuk pulih berdasarkan rawatan khusus yang dikenali sebagai rawatan suntikan Radiofrequensi. Menerusi kaedah rawatan Radiofrequensi ini, pakar sakit kronik akan hanya menggunakan suntikan bagi merawat pesakit mereka.

Jarum akan disuntik terus ke saraf cedera bertujuan mengecutkan saraf yang sakit dan sekaligus menghilangkan bisa yang ditanggung pesakit bertahun-tahun lamanya. Demikian pengalaman serupa dialami sendiri oleh penulis yang disahkan mengidap kecederaan facet di tengkuk dan bahagian belakang serta bahu yang dideritai bertahun-tahun lamanya.

Penggunaan kaedah suntikan di dalam bilik bedah yang hanya mengambil masa lebih kurang sejam dapat meredakan bisa yang menyerang tangan dan sebahagian besar tubuh penulis.

Sebelum ini, kebanyakan pegawai perubatan ditemui mencadangkan supaya rawatan dilakukan oleh pakar ortopedik dan sebagai jalan akhir pembedahan mesti dilakukan. Namun kaedah rawatan radiofrequensi yang dipelopori oleh Dr Nizar berjaya memindahkan beban sakit dan trauma bertahun-tahun tanpa melalui proses pembedahan.

Menurut Dr Nizar, pengurusan sakit yang betul yang bertujuan mendapatkan rawatan selesa dan kurang implikasi atau risiko kepada pesakit amat penting pada kehidupan hari ini. Ditambah pula dengan adanya pakar dalam sakit kronik, peluang bagi pesakit menghindarkan diri daripada dibedah tulang belakang sehingga boleh menyebabkan risiko lumpuh amat luas.

Malangnya, kata beliau, sebahagian besar pesakit kronik di negara ini belum terdedah atau mengetahui kaedah suntikan bagi merawat sakit kronik khususnya berkaitan kecederaan tulang belakang. Melalui pengalaman beliau merawat pesakit kronik sehingga kini, sebahagian besar pesakit kembali dapat meneruskan kehidupan seperti biasa melalui kaedah ini.

Menerusi kaedah suntikan, epidural streroid akan disuntik bagi mengurangkan kesakitan sama seperti proses suntikan menahan sakit bagi mereka yang ingin bersalin. Sedikit steroid akan dimasukkan bagi mengurangkan bengkak dan keradangan pada akar saraf yang terhimpit (bagi kes cakera gelincir tulang belakang).

Sepanjang terbabit sebagai pakar dalam bidang sakit kronik, Dr Nizar memang mengakui bahawa di antara 80 hingga 90 peratus pesakitnya secara umum tidak mengetahui mengenai rawatan Radiofrequensi yang tidak memerlukan mereka menjalani pembedahan sebelum datang bertemunya.

Persoalannya kini, bagaimanakah nasib pesakit kronik yang kurang terdedah kepada media yang sejak akhir-akhir ini kerap memaparkan maklumat tentang rawatan konservatif tanpa pembedahan itu?

Apakah mereka akan terus dirujuk kepada pakar ortopedik dan seterusnya disaran menjalani pembedahan tanpa mendapat pilihan lain? Mengakui hakikat itu, Dr Nizar menyarankan pesakit supaya selalu bertanya kepada doktor perubatan mengenai rawatan alternatif supaya mereka dapat memilih dan sekaligus mencuba sesuatu yang lebih rendah risikonya.

Bagaimanapun, pesakit tidak seharusnya pula menafikan standard rawatan yang digunapakai apabila berdepan kesakitan tulang belakang. Indikasi di negara ini sama seperti di negara lain, iaitu apabila rawatan konservatif atau rawatan tanpa bedah ini gagal, ia menunjukkan kecederaan saraf pada tulang belakang sudah tentu mencapai tahap kritikal.

Biasanya menurut Dr Nizar, hal ini berlaku selepas enam bulan mendapatkan rawatan konservatif tanpa bedah. Maka pesakit itu akan dirujuk kepada pakar ortopedik. Di situlah terletaknya kebijaksanaan pesakit mengurus sakitnya dengan berbincang bersama pakar ortopedik mengenai rawatan terbaik yang boleh dipilihnya.

Mengulas mengenai terma sakit kronik, beliau menjelaskan bahawa sakit ini biasanya datang tanpa disangka dan boleh berlarutan sehingga tempoh masa lama jika tidak mendapat rawatan yang tepat dan segera dan kebanyakannya berkaitan kecederaan tulang belakang.

Kesakitan ini amat merimaskan dan boleh mencapai tahap kritikal apabila pergerakan tangan atau kaki pesakit boleh terjejas. Orang ramai boleh mencuba kaedah rawatan tanpa bedah bagi merawat sakit kronik dengan menghubungi Dr Nizar Abdul Jalil di HUSM Kubang Kerian.

HAMID KARIM adalah seorang penulis bebas dan pernah menjadi ketua biro sebuah akhbar tempatan. Dr Nizar adalah pakar sakit kronik yang telah merawat penulis dan berharap bidang rawatan tanpa bedah ini dapat dikembangkan lagi bagi membantu rakyat/pesakit di negara kita.

Jadi kurus selepas dipukau

GAMBAR menunjukkan Marion menjadi kurus selepas menjalani teknik rawatan hipnosis.

---

MERSEYSIDE - Seorang wanita Britain, Marion Corns hilang berat badan sebanyak 25.40 kilogram dengan menggunakan kaedah hipnosis atau pukau, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Dia menggunakan kaedah pukau itu di sebuah klinik pada minggu lalu di Sepanyol selepas gagal menguruskan badan dengan menggunakan pendekatan diet dan senaman.
