Health Tips : Keeping Well When Monsoon Dwells
First showers of monsoon are heartily welcomed by everyone after experiencing the scorching heat of summer. But monsoons reduce the immunity of our body and make us susceptible to many diseases which are commonly associated with this season. It is time for us to keep our body resistant against diseases by boosting our immunity and taking precautions against these diseases.

The diseases associated with monsoon are malaria, jaundice, gastro intestinal infections like typhoid and cholera. Apart from these, viral infections like cold and cough also make their presence felt.

Puddles of water formed due to rain become breeding grounds for mosquitoes which spread diseases like malaria and dengue fever. As a precautionary measure against mosquito bite born diseases one can use mosquito net around the bed which is better choice to mosquito repellants like mats and coils. A mosquito repellant cream is the best choice when you are away from home. Fumigating the house with smoke of dried neem leaves in evenings for 1-2 minutes is an excellent ayurvedic method to keep mosquitoes away.

Pollution of drinking water during monsoon is very common. It is very necessary to drink clean and pure water when water borne monsoon diseases like diarrhea and gastro intestinal infections threaten us. Drinking boiled water at home is strongly recommended to tap water. Prefer mineral water of government certified companies when you are away from home. (Cont…..)

:: Health & Disease Treatment suggestions for Depression (Dr. Shah's views)

Hello Doctor
I am 26 years old. I suffered from mild anxiety and depression so i tried anti depressants i tried three different kind and none of them worked they made me paranoid. first one i tried was cipralex for one week remeron for another week and then cipramil for one week i felt horrible with all of them so i decided to stop and thank God i have managed to deal with my anxiety.
My suggestions for Depression and all psycho-somatic conditions are;

First and most important is Meditation or Pranayam. Than second if Shirodhara treatment with qualified Ayurveda practitioner and for internal use of herbs I suggest, Brahmi Tablet, Ashwagandha Powder and Triphala Tab. If such suffering person can spend 3 to 4 weeks in India for detoxification (Panchkarma) programs, he / she can be much relieved from associated complains.
