AYUSH INTERVENTIONS

•WHY
MOTHER
AND
CHILD?
Maternal and child health care
Mother(15-44),child(5years) composes of
total 31.6% of total population.
• Specific objectives-
• Reduction-
mortality,morbidity(mother and
child)
• Reproductive health
• Psychological level
PRAISEWORTHY INITIATIVE
OF AYUSH!
• The CCRH in itself is not sufficient
alone.
• The induction of the interns and
the roster duty in the PHC with
proper documentation forwarded
time to time to AYUSH.
UTILIDATION OF HOM.
DOCTOR
• Decay in traditions and low status; first
choice is allopathy
• Vaidyas and their practice continues
• No integration within ISM&H
• Copying institutions of allopathy- relevance
• Larger hospitals ignore ISM&H doctors
• Urban Outreach missing
• Growth of Yoga in private sector

BUDGETARY COMPARISONS
• Drug cost per – Rs 6.35 is low!
• Misuse and side effects of antibiotics.
• Constraints: Supply, Dispensing, Variety,
Complex production, Packing quality
• Relative priority for state bureaucrats &
politicians in funds, image, numbers
WAY FORWARD
• Induction for doctors and teachers
• Supply drugs to suit poor patients
• Strong PSU given cost and quality problems
• Educational and research focus, clinical
experience, Internship in PHC
• Clinical documentation
• Integrated ISM hospitals for region
• Standardisation and Enforcement
MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH
CARE TAKEN AS ONE UNIT
BECAUSE-
• During antenatal, fetus is part of mother
• Child health is related to maternal health
• Certain disease creep in up during
pregnancy.
• After birth child is dependent on mother for
(6-9 months).
• Post partum care is inseparable from
neonatal and family planning
• Mother the first teacher.
Main troubles during
pregnancy in developing
countries.
Malnutrition
Infection
Consequences of unregulated
fertility
•Malnutrition
Intra uterine life is important
•Infection
Foetal growth
Retardation,LBW,abortion,pu

ANTENATAL CARE OBJECTIVES

• Maintain health of mother


• “High Risk” cases
• Foresee complications prevent them
• Anxiety of dread of death

• BEFORE
• complications set in
MINOR COMPLAIN IN
STARTING OF
PREGNANCY
Anorexia and strange
tastes-sulphur will
do the job
VOMITING ,NAUSEA

• Start with Nux Vom-if vomiting is in the morning


• Ipecacunha-continued vomiting
• If both fails then pulsatilla(evening and at night)
• Kreosotum- with sweetish water
• Cucurbita pepo –efficient in the above complaint
according to allen.
• In case where no other remedy seemed of any
avail-2 glob of sulphur for 24 hrs.
ABDOMINAL COLIC
• Labour pain-spasmodic,distressing wants
to get away from them,tearing down the
legs,press upward
• Chamomilla- anguish,anger with the
labour pain.
CONSTIPATION
• At end of pregnancy this complain
develops,some exercise,a change in
diet,taking fresh water is helpful
• Nux Vom –3 or 4 days-sulphur-Bryonia
• Sepia is helpful(constipation,during
pregnancy,pain in rectum,sense of weight in
anus >stool.
• Lyc ,alumina are much efficient
FAINTING FITS
• Fainting fits without any cause –
Ignatia(melancholy women,hysteric women)
• If with that there is debilitating losses then the
drug of Carbo Veg,China etc

PILES
• Habitual constipation causes the complain
• Puls,is the drug repeated for every 4 or 6
days(#blind haemorrhoids0
• NV is the final choice,in coffee drinkers.
COMPLAINS DURING
PREGNANCY
• Oedema- 6th or 7th pregnancy subsides
• Dyspnoea – last month of pregnancy
-NV/ China- Flatulence,
distention after eating
• Cough - with spurting of urine- Caust, Aco.
• Urinary - Retention of urine- N.V., Puls
• Toothache - Try giving some keynote
symptom remedy-useless to give
a second dose of the remedy.
• Mental aspect- Sleeplessness, Convulsion, fear of death,
moral emotion.
• Sleeplessness- Bell,Chamo.
• Fear of death- Moaning with apprehension of impending
death
• Apprehension- lest some misfortune should happen to
him.
• Apprehension of impending death
• Moral emotion – opium-immediately (effect of fright an
fear)
• Bell- fright causes-Convulsion
• Grief- Ignatia(Ph. Acid,staph)
• Violent anger- Cham.
• Excessive and sudden joy- coffea
Hydrometra
• Stout lady with sulphur
• Ars with swelling of legs,face and thigh
• China-loss of blood

Fleshy moles
• Sulphur-promotes expulsion of moles
• Morning sickness
• Haemorrhoids
• Chapped nipples
• Phlegmasia alba dolens
• cantharis/cal carb -expulsion of fetus
-milk fever
The favorable period of
treating chronic diseases
is during pregnancy as she
becomes sensitive and
exhausted.
Crosserio –has advised that
sulphur for 6 weeks,after
which dose of calc for 6
weeks under a strict
homoeopathic diet and
regimen.will bring you a
happy child.
NOW COME TO THE MISCARRIAGE(efficiently
preventable)

• Predisposing/exciting causes
• Some beginners imagine that medicine
prevent miscarriage in any constitution as
the repertories recommend,but the best way
to treat is to investigate the patients,to cure
her in all the constitutional troubles.
Hence the treatment of
wholistic approach is
applicable.
Drugs may be thought of -
• Calc-profuse,premature,excess
leucorrhoea,painfulness of breast,colic,frequent
congestion
• I -Threatened miscarriage(hering)
• CAMPHOR-abortion during epidemic
influenza,feeble constitution,catarrhal
discharges,cold feeling
• Sabina-3rd month of abortion,-prescribe –3glob.
for 48hrs during the week preceding the period
when the menses ought to have set in –this has to
be repeated until after the time when the
previous miscrriages took place.
• Sepia,Puls-chill aversion to drinking,
• Inspite of these where we cannot avoid the
abortion then few premonitory symptoms are
treated as below-
• Arnica-blow with flooding of blood
• Ipec-cutting colic,hemorrhage with nausea
• Sabina-precursory symptoms during the first
month of pregnancy with shuddering.
• Cham-restlessness,anger.
• Secale cor-womb is not active,passive
haemorrhage.
DURING LABOUR
• To induce pain-Puls,Coff,NV.
• Puls-one month of
• Sometimes the pain continue without any
development
• During labour according to Herring, Puls. can
change the wrong lie of the fetus position in the
fetus
• If the bag of waters has not descended then puls
is the remedy
• All things are going on normal,but the pains
are too violent and the patients fancies that
she cannot tolerate them-
Coffea(nervousness,restless,overs
ensitive)
• Excessesive labour pain,too long
continuation of after pain.
• Dread of death with anguish and
terror,primiparae who are attacked -Aco
DIFFICULT AND PROTRACTED
LABOUR
• The faulty passage like CPD is surgical
one hence it should not be treated in
homoeopathy
• Falling or protrusion of the umbilical
cord
• The excessive tenderness of the vulva
prevent the dilatation to facilitate
-Coffea
The condition such as
• Rigid os,-Act.Rac.
• Wrong position of the foetus –Puls
• Foetus,resistance of the neck-
puls(hering II)
• Pain regular but the bag of water is
not descending-Puls
• The head size of the fetus which is big –
Puls or Secale in small doses can lead to
the natural expulsion of the fetus
• JAHR Says that child with enormous
Head have been succesfully managed by
him-case-cal/sul/sil(in consequence)
• Inspite of pain the head is not coming the
cord is short Puls or secale at every
contraction works
Absent Pain-depends on the Constitutional Weakness,transitory
Causes such as Passion,contrarieties-

• Secale-feeble and cachetic women exhausted by


haemorrhage
• Puls-pain setting slowly with inactivity of the
uterus
• Opium-pain cease suddenly due to fright robust
women
• Puls-in spite of discharge of Amniotic Fluid no
pain or slow pain
• Some time disagreeable person,strong odours
should be removed after which the labour will
resume its natural course
Fainting ,convulsion,(eclampsia,pre-ecampsia)
danger sighn treated cautiously)
• Drugs like Cicuta,Cupr.Ars,Cham,Bell,Ver.Vir
• Oenan.croc-<during pregnancy;puerperal
eclampsia
• Hyos-Spasm of pregnant women;puerperal
mania
• Convulsion- 1)Aco,Coff,Cham
2)Ign.,Hyo,Stram
• Haemorrhage-3 glob.of Arn-every 30 min will
remove danger
• Puls-suppression of haemorrhage and evacuation
of the uterine cavities
Placental delivery
(retained placenta,adhesion of the placenta)

• Puls/sec/platina/crocus/china/Ipe
c/sab
• Crocus-black viscid,with
movement of fetus here and
there
• Sab-characteristic labour pain
with bright red blood
Perineum care

• Perineal rupture-the parts can be


bathed with tepid arnica water
• Crosserio-advices the application of
strong mother tincture of Arn,for 6
weeks,it will heal the complain
perfectly
CHALLENGE BEFORE NEW
MOTHER

• Physical exhaustion after pains & lochia

• Trauma of surgery

• Uterine changes

• Realization of new life

• Lactation
Diseases during confinement

• prolapsed or inversion of the


uterus-Drugs like that of
NV,sepia,thuja,platina can be
thought to be prescribed
• After pain-Act
Rac,coff,NV,Cham,
LOCHIA
• Scanty and suppressed,red and cold or emotion
caused suppression-Aco
• Suppression followed by
diarrhoea,colic,headache,toothache-cham
• Excessive and the colour is red then drugs of
excess mens. Should be given like-china,secale
and if white then treated as excess leucorrhoea
drugs like that of puls,sepia,sulphur
• NV when the patient is indulged in coffee or
alcoholic or heating beverages
Milk Fever-if the woman does
not nurses
• With great thirst,intensive
headache-Aco,
• Breast becoming too much
distended with milk-Bryo
• Cessation of fever milk still
continues to fill the breast-Puls
Restoration of health after confinement
• No particular treatment is required-good diet
and regimen will return the strength
• Flooding,excessive sweats-6glob. of china every
12 hrs
• Falling of the hair prominent complain-
effectively treated with sulph,Calc
• Another inconvenience women suffer who have
several children is an enlargement of the
abdomen,vulgarly termed as pot-bellied mothers-
treated by sepia,colo
PUERPERAL FEVERS
• Bell-bowels griped with claws or nails
• Rhus-cerebral or typhoid symptoms-return
of bloody lochia
• Cham-caused by anger or exposure of the
body to cold
• Hyos-frightful visions or loss of
consciousness,frequent discharge of
blood,convulsion and spasm of in the throat
MENTAL DERANGEMENT
DURING CONFINEMENT
• The patient becomes sad,sinister forebodings and
shows a good deal of restlessness without any
appreciable cause.
• The delirium complicated with furious
mania,nymphomania where in other cases we
observe a deep,taciturn melancholy these things
may last for 1-6 months and may have frequent
relapses.
• Cause of derangement-cold,fright,domestic
trouble or other unpleasantemotions,sudden
weaning,suppressed lochia,milkysecretion
• This can be easily cured –Aco(fear of death)
• Anguish with thoughts of suicide,weakness
of memory and intellect-Aurum M
• Restless and uneasy nights,fear of
ghosts,fright with desire to escape or to
hide herself,paroxysm of rage and fury.
• Nymphomania –plat,sulp(forgets the names

• Panaritia in child bed-All.Cepa
• Milk leg caused due to
mechanical injury i.e.
mechanical- Arnica
LACTATION
• The Homoeopathic regimen prescribed by
hahnemann in his Organon is more particularly
applicable to nursing females. A mother who
avoids salt and young meat strong spices
sausage meat acids and heating substances
herb-teas, drugs, except such as are necessary
on given occasion, in one word, everything that
might injure the body and spirit of the4 child,
and who contents herself in the place of all this
with plain and healthy nourishment, will have
the satisfaction of raising a healthy and
vigorous offspring.
• Agalactia-Agnus,cal,can,thyroidinum
Ricinus –increases the quantity of milk
in nursing women
Dysgalactia-
Milk too serous not sufficiently nutritious-China/Merc
Milk coagulates easily-Borax
Child refuses to take milk without any appreciable
cause-Cina,silicea
Milk turns sour readily-Puls
If the child vomits during nursing-Aethuja,silica
Galactorrhoea-involuntary flow of milk-Puls,calc
due to this complaint mammae swells,becomes knotted-
Bryo
• Diseases of nipples-rat,graph,silicea
CARING OF
NEONATES &
INFANTS:
THE HOMOEOPATHIC WAY
Infant & Neonatal Care
1. Care of new born at birth.
2. Nutritional support.
3. Monitoring of growth & development.
4. Day to day care of minor ailments.
5. Early identification of serious
problems followed by prompt
management or referral.
A healthy new born is
the outcome of a
healthy pregnancy and
delivery system.
Care of the new born
1. Well supported delivery system.
2. Warmth.
3. Cleanliness.
4. Care of the umbilical stump (cord
care).
5. Care of the eyes.
6. Congenital anomalies – rule out.
• Low birth rate babies need special
care.
• Breast milk is the best nutrition for
LBW babies.
• In absence of breast milk they may
be provided humanized cow’s /
buffalo’s milk.
• Monitoring of growth & development
is essential for early identification of
failure to thrive.
• A baby doubles its weight by 6 months
& triples by 1 year.
• A standard growth chart as
recommended by the Indian Academy
of Pediatrics may be used for this
purpose.
Prevention of diseases
1.Cleanliness.
2.Immunization.
3.Educating parents and
personnel.
Additional advantage of
Homoeopathy
• Treatment of the mother – considering
miasmatic point of view.
• Enables the child from developing
subsequent illness of infancy.
• Miasm concept is a unique scientific
concept where Master Hahnemann in his
time tried to explain genetics, genetic
pathology and integrated the relationship.
Homoeopathy in child health

• Responsibility of the parents to


give birth of healthy,stout and
disease free child(unless are cured)
• Disease parents transmit
hereditary disease dyscrasia to
their offspring and the child is
born with disease
Unregulated reproduction
• Short interval of pregnancy causes
weakness and malnutrition of the
mother hence the spacing of the birth
i.e. the birth control is very much
important
• Malnutrition of the mother is
important cause until this is checked
the child will be LBW
Diet of the baby

• The mothers milk is more important

•Breast milk is the


best milk.
• Suitable substitute is important after weaning
and the suitable substitute.
Surrounding environmental
condition influences on-
• Accessory circumstances the social
environment the adjacent substances.
• The mental happiness is necessary the
balance of the body and mind may
suffer from various ailments
• Child psychology-failing to this the
child may not be able to adjust with the
society inspite of sound health
ANTIMIASMATIC TREATMENT
• The Antimiasmatic treatment should be given to
the newly married couples from Hom.units:I
believe many genetic diseases may be easily
prevented or modified.
• This treatment of miasm prevents the genetic
diseases.(maximum diseases of the newborn aare
genetic and impossible to treat in any system)
• Hence free of miasmatic states free from genetic
diseases and thus healthy child.
• The turner syndrome 45xo is commonest
abortus,it can be prevented by proper treatment.
• Maternity centres-latent miasmatic
condition of the mother becomes
manifested during pregnancy and
according to the symptoms the selection
of AMT is much much feasible.
• But the vague treatment may cause
abortion
• Homoeopathy prevents toxemia and the
child is free from
conjunctivitis,convulsion,diarrhoea
• Parents are advised not to take excessive
care or lack of care,excessive intake causes
diarrhoea,breast milk prevents rickets,
• prolonged feeding causes infantile cirrhosis,
• hot or cold exposure also gives birth to
many complaints
• Saving the child from infection
• Child lack antibodies to prevent
specific infection,hom constitutional
medicines deals with general immunity
of the babies combats the infection of
diseases of moderate severity,eg-
hahnemannn prevented the scarlet
fever,at konningsluter
• Immunization-take the trends and
recording of the statistical data.
COMMON AILMENTS
• Apoplectic condition-mostly due to painful
labour-Aco,10-15 min,no improvement then
antim.tart
• Asphyxia-muscular movements are
wanting,china-antim t-lach

RELEVANT ISSUES OF
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

• Rural children exhibit a “Virgin


susceptibility” which is advantageous for
Homoeopathy.
• Tribal & Rural folk resistant to the
Homoeopathic line of treatment as they
were used to colourful tablets, Syrups &
injections.
• But the “Sweetness of the pills” quickly
became very popular among the children.
• Ease of administration in children made it
very popular among the parents too.
• People are unaware of the scope and
limitation of homoeopathy.
• Hence orientation & education was an
HOMOEOPATHIC STRATEGY

• Documentation on Standardized case records

• Therapeutic Strategies

• Monitoring

• Follow up & Evaluation Plans


• Aid Kit
