Homoeopathy can be used to treat sick or injured birds in the same way it is used for humans. Remedies can be given by crushing pellets and adding them to the bird's water or directly into its mouth. Common remedies for birds include arnica for trauma, aconite for shock, ignatia for grief, symphytum for broken bones, rhus tox for stiffness, dulcamara for chill, arsenicum for changes in weather, and carbo veg and hypericum for wounds. A book on homoeopathic treatment for birds is recommended for bird owners.
A fever is usually an indication of increased
activity on the part of the immune system,
most likely in response to infection and is
a good sign showing that there is an ability to react.
The action of the homoeopathic remedy is not to kill
the bacteria directly but rather to stimulate the immune
system to do the healing

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can be triggered by things like peanuts, shellfish, latex or bee stings. When the body detects an allergen, it releases substances that cause blood vessels to widen and airways to constrict, leading to a drop in blood pressure and difficulty breathing. Symptoms include swelling of the face, throat tightness, wheezing, nausea and anxiety. First aid involves calling for emergency help, laying the person down or propping them up depending on symptoms, and using an epinephrine autoinjector if available to counter the reaction.

As we know colic and reflux can cause
babies and parents relentless distress and
exhaustion.
Reflux is the spontaneous passage of acid stomach
contents upwards into the oesophagus. There may
or may not be associated vomiting. Colic symptoms
usually affect the stomach and intestines and may be
due to an immature digestive system.
This document discusses how suppressed anger can manifest physically based on three homeopathic remedies - Ignatia, Nux vomica, and Staphysagria. Nux vomica types experience tension and irritability when unable to express anger, leading to headaches and digestive issues. Ignatia often turns anger into grief and has throat and emotional issues. Staphysagria feels easily offended and suppressed anger causes digestive problems and susceptibility to infections. The document examines how different constitutions process and suppress anger differently, with varying physical symptoms.
Homoeopathy can help support the repair of broken bones by reducing pain and assisting calcium metabolism. Several remedies are mentioned as potentially helpful including Arnica to reduce trauma and promote healing, Bryonia for irritability and pain worsened by movement, and Hypericum for nerve damage from crush injuries. Rhus tox and Bryonia can be alternated to relieve painful stiffness, while Ruta grav and Rhus tox may assist with non-union of fractures. Symphytum can speed bone union where healing is slow. The document also provides information on product specials and educational resources from the homoeopathic supplier.
Arnica and Calc phos can help ensure a healthy pregnancy and birth. Arnica reduces soft tissue damage during labor and aids recovery, while Calc phos reduces problems like mastitis and calcium deficiency when started before the due date. After birth, Aconite can help anxious animals, while Pulsatilla or Sepia may be suitable depending on the animal's mood. For C-sections, Arnica and Hypericum before and after can aid healing, along with Staphysagria for incisions. Mastitis remedies include Belladonna, Bryonia, Hepar sulph, or Urtica urens depending on symptoms, while recurring issues may respond to Calc carb.
Mental and emotional symptoms are highly important in homeopathic remedy selection. They represent the person's character and individuality. These symptoms include all emotions, temperaments, disturbances of the will and understanding, as well as dreams, delusions, fears, embarrassment, forgetfulness, laziness, and social needs. Some symptoms are part of the constitutional temperament, while others may be transient responses to disease. It is important that mental and emotional symptoms clearly limit the person, not just represent character traits, in order to be useful for repertorization and finding the correct remedy. The vital force expresses these symptoms uniquely for each individual.
Hahnemann developed the theory of miasms to explain chronic disease patterns. He believed there were three main miasms - psora, syphilis, and sycosis - that were inherited predispositions responsible for chronic illness. Psora referred to tendencies like skin issues and underfunctioning. Syphilis involved destruction and issues like necrosis. Sycosis involved overfunctioning tendencies like growths. Modern homeopaths recognize additional miasms like tuberculosis and cancer. Understanding miasms can help home prescribers realize why some remedies do not provide lasting relief and indicate an underlying state needing constitutional or miasmatic treatment.
The myriad of change during teenage years coupled with erratic hormone levels can result in a very unsettling feeling of instability and loss of control. Homoeopathic remedies can be like a miracle in smoothing and regulating teen hormones
Watson describes keynote prescribing as being based on one or a few outstanding symptoms that strongly point to a particular homeopathic remedy. Keynotes provide important differentiation between remedies that otherwise appear well indicated. Most remedies have one or two verified symptoms that suggest the remedy regardless of the rest of the case. Examples of keynotes given are reactions to smallpox vaccination indicating Thuja and mental changes after head injury indicating Natrum sulphuricum. The document also lists additional keynote symptoms and the remedies they point to, such as feelings of being bruised and beaten for Arnica or stung by a bee for Apis. Recognizing a keynote symptom allows one to quickly identify the most likely indicated remedy.
Cats can get flu symptoms like sneezing and nasal discharge even if vaccinated, as stress and low immunity increase susceptibility. Homoeopathic remedies like Allium cepa, Kali mur, Arsenicum, and Natrum mur can help prevent and treat cat flu based on the symptoms, addressing any stressors contributing to vulnerability. The document recommends homoeopathic remedies as an alternative or addition to conventional vaccination and treatment for cat flu.
Homoeopathic provings involve giving healthy volunteers safe amounts of substances to discover what symptoms are produced. Volunteers record any symptoms experienced after taking substances in potency form. Provings are supervised and use double-blind, placebo-controlled methods to reduce bias. The full range of a substance's symptoms are drawn out by testing on both males and females. Over 5,000 substances have been proved for the homoeopathic materia medica through this process over 200 years.
Oral surgery procedures require preparation and remedies for anxiety, infection, bleeding, pain, and recovery. Before surgery, Gelsemium or Aconite can calm nerves, while Pyrogen protects against infection. Arnica and Hypericum are excellent post-operative remedies for shock, nerve damage, and pain. During convalescence, continue Arnica and Hypericum until healing, using Hepar sulphur or other remedies for any infection. The document provides remedy recommendations and advertises related products and classes from Owen homoeopathics.
Obstacles to Cure & Maintaining Causes discusses potential hindrances to the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. Some obstacles include allopathic drugs, internal maintaining causes like genetic tendencies, and toxic or abusive environments. Personal habits like addiction and impatience can also interfere with healing responses to remedies. Coffee, essential oils, self-medicating, and assuming incurability too quickly are other potential obstacles to cure outlined in the document.
Understanding Homeopathy - Obstacles to Cure and Maintaining CausesOwen Homoeopathics
Obstacles to Cure & Maintaining Causes discusses potential factors that can interfere with the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. These include allopathic drugs, internal genetic or constitutional imbalances, and toxic environments that keep the body weakened. Personal habits like addiction or the overuse of stimulants like coffee can also deplete energy and act as obstacles. Being impatient with the treatment process or self-medicating can make it difficult to properly assess symptoms and find the most effective remedy. The document provides examples of each type of obstacle and suggests lower potency remedies taken more frequently to help overcome certain interfering factors.
The document discusses using homeopathic remedies to support a child's immunity and health, especially during times of growth, development, and seasonal changes.

It also recommends Anas barb in cooler months and guidance on when to use Aconite, Gelsemium, or Ferrum phos if cold symptoms arise. The document encourages consulting a homeopath if symptoms persist to improve a child's overall resistance to infections.
Paying attention to the sensations described by a patient can help uncover the appropriate homeopathic remedy. Sensations express the particular nature of an individual's vital force. Some keynote sensations that indicate remedies include "as if bruised and beaten" for Arnica and "as if stung by a bee" for Apis. The book "Sensations as if" by H.A. Roberts provides a reference for unique sensations and helped the author uncover Arsenicum as the remedy for a patient who described a sensation of a "ball of mucus lodged in the throat".
The document discusses remedies for symptoms experienced during menopause, including hot flashes, mood swings, dryness, and irregular periods. It recommends Belladonna for sudden intense hot flashes, Bryonia for dryness and irritability, and Natrum mur for irregular periods and fluid retention. Pulsatilla is suggested for changeable symptoms worse from heat and better from fresh air. Sepia is indicated for irregular bleeding, dragging sensations, and irritability. Sulphur may help with whole-body heat, hot feet, and night waking. The document provides contact information for a homeopath and lists special offers on menopause remedy kits.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

1. O
verseas travel, while very exciting and
necessary, can play havoc with our bod-
ies and our minds. Homoeopathic rem-
edies can be extremely useful in allowing the smooth
adaptation to change and helping to cope with jet
lag symptoms and excitement and anxiety. There
are also excellent remedies for first aid and the treat-
ment of simple ailments and a compact travel kit
takes up very little luggage space.
Homoeopathy is a medical system developed by
Samuel Hahnemann 200 years ago. It is well known
in the United Kingdom, America, Europe and Asia
and to a lesser extent Australia. Homoeopathy fol-
lows definite scientific laws of preparation, prescrip-
tion and cure that are as true today as they were in
Dr Hahnemann’s time.
Homoeopathic medicines are provided in either
pilules or drops and the dose varies depending upon
each persons individual need. These medicines have
been prepared in a specific way by a process called
potentisation. This is an activating process involving
dilution and succussion (shaking hard) that makes
the remedies non-toxic and free from side effects.
The information and remedy pictures that follow
are available in traditional homoeopathic texts. If
a homoeopathic remedy picture matches your in-
dividual symptom picture the remedy may offer
symptomatic relief. Homoeopathic principles should
be applied when using any homoeopathic remedy.
Always read the product label. If symptoms persist
consult your health care practitioner promptly.
Preparation for the Trip
To help with adjustment to change start your jet lag
remedies a few days before departure. Start your daily
dose of Arsenicum 6c which may help with adjustment
to change at this time, and continue for the course of
the trip (or at least until settled at your destination).
When travelling to areas where mosquitos are a prob-
lem, a dose a day of Ledum 6c may help reduce the in-
cidence of and reaction to bites. When using remedies
such as Arsenicum and Ledum in this way they are un-
derstood to work best in low potency. Thinking that 30c
or higher will be better can prove counter productive.
Homoeopathic remedies, and a sound knowledge
of first aid and knowing what to expect in the envi-
rons is an invaluable asset when travelling, especially
if camping and trekking in isolated areas. Sometimes
medical attention is too far away or entirely undesir-
able in foreign countries. Be very familiar with the use
of your remedies and other supplies.
If you are going to travel into remote areas, don’t
skimp on your remedy kit. Carefully read the following
information and choose remedies to suit your individ-
ual needs. Many people travel with a homoeopathic
kit and the customs people at airports are quite used
to seeing them. However it is wise to ensure that they
are well labelled and accompanied by descriptive
leaflets and the Owen Home Prescribing booklet.
It is sometimes recommended when travelling to
certain countries that we protect ourselves against dis-
eases such as Malaria, Cholera etc. However, accord-
ing to medical literature the effectiveness of vaccines
against certain diseases is questionable. Discuss this
with your homoeopath and medical carer, and read
available literature, including alternatives.
Homoeopathy offers the choice of prophylactic rem-
edies to help protect us against these infections and
can be taken as a substitute or to complement the
orthodox method. Should you choose orthodox im-
munisation, your homoeopath can make suggestions
to support your immune system.
The Flight
Adjustment to change: Kali phos 6c is an excellent
remedy for those of us who can become overstimu-
lated with time changes, long flights and so on. It
has a wonderful calming effect. Arsenicum 6c helps
the body to adjust to change, physical, emotional
and psychic. This includes adjusting to food, water
and climate. Nux vomica is indicated when there are
alterations to our usual routines, particularly affect-
ing sleep and digestive function.
Anxiety and fear: Anxiety and fear can be com-
mon reactions before the onset of a journey. Use
the chosen remedy in the 30th potency, repeated
morning and night for one or two days prior to and
during the journey. If you have 6c take it 4 times daily.

2. Acute fear and excitement – Aconite. Fear and ap-
prehension with diarrhoea. Very talkative. Fears of
heights, crowds, closed spaces etc - Argent nit. Quiet,
subdued and trembling. Fear of flying and especially
fear as the plane descends – Gelsemium (also Borax).
Back ache and discomfort: As well as helping to
reduce jet lag symptoms Arnica helps with the asso-
ciated ‘bruised and beaten’ feeling. Bellis perennis
relieves the discomfort of aching buttocks and sore-
ness in the spine from extended periods of sitting dur-
ing long flights.
Ear pain: Some people suffer from earache associ-
ated with air travel. It is very important to seek pro-
fessional attention on arrival if the symptoms resolve
only partially or recur. Initially the indicated remedy
may need to be repeated every 10 minutes until
some relief is experienced. For acute pain in the ears
as the plane loses height – Pulsatilla. Screaming and
inconsolable from irritability and pain – Chamomilla.
For sudden onset of violent pain, especially if it is right
sided – Belladonna.
Fluid retention and circulation: Nat mur 6c helps
balance fluid levels and reduce swollen ankles. Take
2 doses the day before travel, 3 to 4 doses during
the flight and as needed for the following 2 days.
Sluggish venous circulation is helped by Hamamelis,
Pulsatilla, Sepia or Lachesis depending on your par-
ticular symptoms. The tissue salt Combination L may
help improve circulation and strengthen the veins.
If possible start them a week or two before your trip.
Jet Lag: Start these remedies the day before the
flight, take every few hours during the flight and
continue afterwards until there are no more symp-
toms. Physical tiredness with aching muscles and
limbs, ‘as if bruised and beaten’ - Arnica. Alternate
Arnica with Kali phos, which has a calming effect
on the nervous system. Alternate with Arnica. Dizzy
and stressed from loss of sleep - Cocculus. Radia-
tion Remedy is a specific Bach Flower combination
that may help jet lag and the effects of radiation.
Use regularly during the flight and until the symptoms
disappear. Add 10 drops to a bottle of spring water
and sip it often during the flight. When finished, top it
up from the drink fountain and add more Bach Flow-
er Remedy. As well as giving you the flower remedy,
this will help keep you hydrated – dehydration being
a major component of jet lag. Also recommend are
Echinacea and extra vitamin C.
Travel sickness: Whether from car, boat or air trav-
el, travel sickness is a most unpleasant experience,
especially for small children. Give the indicated rem-
edy frequently, depending on the severity of the
symptoms, starting 1-2 hours before travel. If the usu-
al reaction is very severe give a few doses the day
before travel. Gagging and retching and headache
with queasiness - Nux Vomica. Giddy, nauseous and
wants to lie down - Cocculus. Tabacum or Petroleum
may suit you better.
The Destination
Accidents, injuries and shock: Arnica is very impor-
tant for symptoms associated with bruising and trau-
ma. It is great to carry with you in case of accident.
Use immediately if there is an accident or injury and
repeat as needed. Initially the dose may need to
be much more often until the situation is under con-
trol. For symptoms of fright and shock without injury
use Aconite and repeat as needed. To encourage
healing of abscesses and infected wounds - Hepar
sulph. Nerve damage, jammed fingers or toes, spinal

when travelling in mosquito infested areas and dis-
courages sepsis of scratches in tropical climates.
Altitude adaptation: Coca may assist in acclima-
tising to altitude, reducing the symptoms of head-
aches, nausea insomnia, dehydration and breath-
lessness. Cactus taken daily helps reduce the effects
of altitude and nosebleeds especially if Coca is un-
available. Ferrum met can help improve the body’s
oxygen carrying capacity and reduce fatigue. For
sensations of numbness and tingling with icy cold-
ness of hands and feet – Aconite. Fear of falling and
during downward motion i.e rock-climbing – Borax.
Altitude headaches and effects of the sun – Glonoine.
Bites and stings: Research the area before travel-
ling and take the homoeopathic nosode (specific
remedy made from the insect e.g. European wasp)
for the local insects and animals. You can modify

tamin B1 (50mg twice daily for adults) and taking
Caladium 6c and Ledum 6c each day may help.
For insect and animal bites and stings take the ap-
propriate nosode and additional Ledum. If there are
shooting pains use Hypericum. Swelling and itching,
especially from bee and wasp stings - Apis. The aller-
gic reaction can also be modified by homoeopathic
Histamine. For secondary infections take Gunpowder
3. and Pyrogen and continue for several weeks. Should
