Ayurvedic Treatment for Dental Diseases

By Rajesh Nair Oct 8, 2008 Ayurveda believes in three doshas, which are vata, pitta, and kapha, each person having a unique blend of them. A disease is viewed, as a state of imbalance and Ayurveda believes that the mouth is the seat of the kapha dosha. Care must be taken not to vitiate it since problems with the kapha dosha lead to several dental problems. Few Dental diseases are: Bad breath, Yellow/filthy teeth, Dental decay, Loosening of teeth, Bleeding gums, Toothache, Dealing with Dental diseases, Bad breath. Dental hygiene is to be maintained.Mix lemon with warm water and gargle, a tea made from fenugreek seeds must be taken frequently.Fresh guava is helpful in bad breath. Yellow and filthy teeth Mix salt with finely powdered rind of lime. Use this as toothpowder. Take 50 gms of keekar wood, roasted alum 20 gms and namak lahori 10 gms. Grind together. Rub this powder over your teeth, Twigs of neem. Rub an orange peel on the teeth every night. Dental decay Diet rich in calcium is recommended. Intake of dairy products will help. Mix 1 tsp of turmeric with 1 tsp of salt. Add mustard oil to make a paste. Rub on teeth and gums, Avoid sugar intake, include raw vegetables in diet. Bleeding gums: Cleaning teeth with twig of neem,banyan,babul and holy basil stops bleeding. Massage gums with alum mixed mustard oil daily and rinse mouth with water mixed with alum. Chewing leaves of guava tree stops bleeding from gums. Increase sufficient amount of roughage, lemon, citrus fruits, and green vegetables. Toothache: Use of til, cinnamon and clove oil helps to prevent toothache. A clove of garlic with rock salt will relieve pain also a pinch of pepper powder mixed with clove oil can lighten toothache. A paste of the bark of bay berry prepared with vinegar if applied on the affected tooth will reduce the toothache. Avoid consumption of soft drinks, refined carbohydrates, and sugar. Ayurveda is a system of medicine that combines natural therapies with a personalized approach to the treatment. This form of health care focuses equally on the wellness of the body, mind, and spirit where an imbalance results in illness. There are three doshas, which govern the body: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The mouth is the seat of the kapha dosha,

care must be taken not to vitiate it. Ayurveda suggests a wide range of herbal and dietary solutions to dental problems some of which are: Neem The neem tree is a traditional remedy for white healthy teeth. Neem twigs are used as toothbrushes. Neem oils contain astringent and antiseptic properties to fight bad breath, kill microorganisms accumulated on the teeth and combat dental caries. Turmeric Besides flavoring food, purify blood; dental remedy is probably the most common use of Turmeric in Ayurveda. Prepare a mixture of a quarter teaspoon of common salt with mustard oil and apply on the affected tooth. Its daily use prevents dental caries, foul breath, bleeding from the gums, painful gums, and toothaches. Burn some turmeric sticks; make a fine powder and use as tooth powder. Gumtone is a trusted tooth powder from Charak Pharma. Clove Another remedy for toothache is in the use of clove, which lessens pain. It also helps decrease infection due to its antibacterial properties. Clove oil, applied to a cavity in a decayed tooth, also reduces toothache. Use a paste of zinc oxide powder and clove oil to fill the cavity in the aching tooth, also preventing food materials from accumulating in the cavity. Peel and crush a clove of fresh garlic and mix it with peanut butter. Apply it to the aching tooth and keep it there for some time. Vitamin C prevents decay and loosening of the teeth, dental caries, toothache, and bleeding of the gums. Take Vitamin C rich diet to fight against toothache. Sugar from candy, cookies, soft drinks and desserts damages teeth and gums hence should be avoided.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

New research suggests that once a week serving of SALMON containing beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, can dramatically cut your risk of coronary heart disease. Compare with those who ate no fish, the study participants who ate a serving a week had a 50-percent lower risk. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk for cardiac arrest by strengthening our arteries, lowering blood-fat levels and preventing blood clots. Researchers in Holland reported that a weekly serving of any fish dramatically reduced the incidence of strokes. Other studies have linked salmon consumption to lower rates of diabetes. ORANGES are a great way to get your vitamin C, which may reduce risk of many disease, but you may be tossing away some of the fruit's most healthful parts-flavonoids cluster in the orange's peel and white, pithy part underneath. A smear of orange marmalade, made with jellied orange peel can give you some of these healthful chemicals, which may reduce risk of lung, stomach and cervical cancers. A compound formed naturally in the stomach's juices during digestion is believed to be a factor in gastric cancers. This is especially true among people who eat processed rather than fresh foods. In a Chinese study, researchers gave people two grams of a powder made from dried orange peel after each meal. The powder lowered the amount of these toxic compounds by 53 % in those with healthy stomachs and by 62 % in those who already had gastric cancer. Hot peppers, or chilies, contain capsaicin, a substance that can help reduce nasal and sinus congestion.

No wonder the search for a cellulite solution has women shelling out millions. But do any of them work? But rumors of a cure are greatly exaggerated. At this point, there is no outstanding treatment for cellulite, said Dr. Molly Wanner, an instructor in dermatology at Harvard Medical School and an author of an evidence-based review of existing treatments in 2008. A lasting remedy would have to address the interplay between skin, fat, connective tissue and underlying muscle. In other words, curing cellulite requires nothing short of changing the structure of skin. Still, treatments abound, from contour-refining lotions and liposuction to massage machines with lasers and light sources. And theres no shortage of takers. The market for cellulite-reduction devices in the United States was more than $47 million in 2008, said Amy Krohn, a spokeswoman for the Millennium Research Group. It is projected to grow to $62 million by 2013. But no treatment has emerged as the gold standard. Most studies show a 25 to 50 percent improvement after multiple treatments, Dr. Wanner said. Some patients have

even less improvement, and the effects may go away over time so patients may require additional treatments. The Deck May Be Stacked Against You Cellulite is a telltale sign that life is a crapshoot. Most women get cellulite after puberty. But men usually dont, not even if theyve got the girth to qualify for The Biggest Loser. Thats because the connective tissue bands under mens skin are crisscrossed like a net, keeping their fat more evenly restrained. By contrast, womens tissue bands are organized in vertical columns, so fat may bulge irregularly. At a normal weight your fat cells fall nicely into valleys of connective tissue, said Dr. Michael D. Jensen, a clinical professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, who has studied fat for 25 years. When you get too many fat cells or too big of fat cells now they push up on the roof. Or, your skin. Whats more, women dont have as thick a roof as men, all the better to show dimples. And thanks to estrogen, women have more fatty reserves. It doesnt stop there. As we age, the connective tissue strands between our skin and muscle, which used to stretch to accommodate weight fluctuations, become inflexible. Some of the bands tighten down and you get pockmarks with bulges next to them, said Dr. Brian M. Kinney, an assistant professor of plastic surgery at the Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California. Voil, cottage cheese. Nor do all women start with the same give in their connective tissue. One explanation for a slender woman with cellulite is thin skin and unusually tight connective tissue. By contrast, the neighbor we love to hate can gain 15 pounds but is blessed with stretchable bands that accommodate a fat uptick. No orange-peel bottom for her. Grrr. I'll Try Anything, Even if It's Temporary Lets say fingers crossed the rain lets up by the Fourth of July and youre headed to the beach with your man of the moment. A lot of doctors say anti-cellulite creams are nothing but a Band-Aid remedy. But hey, thats all that you want, and now. An anti-cellulite cream can offer a temporary benefit simply because of swelling, but you have to keep using it, said Dr. Michael F. McGuire, a clinical associate professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. (Most creams mildly irritate skin, causing a little swelling which camouflages dimpling for a bit.) That reapplication is a benefit for the makers of creams, he added, especially given that realistically there is no cure for cellulite.

Still, that hasnt stopped the rollout of products. In 2008, 40 percent more anti-cellulite creams were introduced than the previous year, said Taya Tomasello, a senior beauty analyst at Mintel, a market research firm. And liposuction one seemingly logical treatment wont necessarily help. I would categorically say its contraindicated for cellulite, Dr. Dover said. He suggested that women who get liposuction for cellulite will get dimples where the fat was. Liposuction falls short, Dr. Kinney said, because it will remove the fat, but doesnt address inflexible connective tissue or too-thin skin. Get in the Fight, or Lay Down Your Arms? Every summer a flurry of magazine stories suggest that cellulite is a battle women can win. Women think if they diet masterfully and exercise diligently, they will have a backside as smooth as a cheerleaders. But just because you stair climb to whittle your backside doesnt mean youll lose weight there. Not all areas of the body respond to diet and exercise, and its not entirely reproducible which ones do, Dr. Kinney said. Some devices combine massaging rollers with a laser and a light source that is meant to smooth skin and influence circulation. Others use infrared light, radiofrequency and mechanical massage. At the very least, massaging an afflicted area may induce swelling, in turn temporarily improving the skins appearance. But no treatment at the doctors office addresses multiple factors in one go: thickening skin, restructuring connective tissue and melting fat, for instance. Some people have misrepresented the truth to suggest that theres a lot you can do, said Dr. Jeffrey Dover, a director of SkinCare Physicians, a dermatology practice in Chestnut Hill, Mass. But he finds todays repertory so inadequate, he doesnt treat cellulite and wont, he said, until a treatment has reproducible results with a long-term benefit. How Severe is Your Case? So many women have cellulite that some doctors think of it as a secondary sex characteristic. As sure as a woman will grow breasts after puberty, she will get dimples and lumps on her skin. But the severity of cellulite has long been in the eye of the beholder. Even for some doctors. A cellulite severity scale, published this May in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, attempts to offer more objective criteria to gauge changes after treatments.

The scale has five measures, including the number of dents, their depth, skin laxity and what the lumps and dents resemble most. According to the scale, cellulite that resembles an orange peel is a milder case than dimples as lumpy-looking as cottage cheese. The worst of the worst is when your behind looks like a quil.2009
