Helminthiasis is a term used to describe diseases caused due to helminths or intestinal worms. The common worms that humans play host to, are roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms and whipworms. In the tropical areas, worms cause a lot of morbidity. Diseases may be caused by the larvae, eggs or adult worms. Infection is caused through water, food and unhygienic living conditions.

Causes of Worms

Parasites enter the body through food and water, transmitting agents such as insects, sexual contact and also through the nose and skin.

Common causes of intestinal worms are:

• Drinking contaminated water
• Eating contaminated food
• Poor sanitation facilities
• Poor personal hygiene
• Eating raw or under-cooked meat

Symptoms of Worms

Intestinal worms can manifest with a variety of symptoms. The common symptoms include:

• Intense itching in the area around the anus
• Diarrhea alternating with constipation
• Weight loss despite eating well
• Nausea and vomiting
• Nervousness and irritability
• Foul breath
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Constant desire for food
• Anemia and other nutritional disorders

Diagnosis of Worm Infestation

Worms can be diagnosed by observing them in the faeces or by collecting their eggs from the skin around the anus in the morning. Routine stool examination also reveals the presence of larvae.

In this manner, we believe to offer you a natural, safe and lasting solution for one-off or repeated episodes of parasitic infestations.

Improving sanitary conditions and personal hygiene may greatly reduce the risk of worms. Conventional medicine recommends Anti-helminthic drugs like Mebendazole. It is advisable to treat the entire family to cut short the cyclic growth of worms. But it should be remembered that the worms may still remain in the system and may become active again at any opportune time.

Moreover, these treatments for intestinal worms are toxic and tend to have side effects. The usage of Mebendazole for example may be accompanied by a host of adverse effects such as abdominal pain, Diarrhea, rash, Urticaria. In rare cases, it may also affect the liver if taken for prolonged periods. Also Mebendazole cannot be used if you are allergic to it or if you are pregnant and nursing.

One should always wash one's hands before eating and avoid walking on the earth where larvae and eggs dwell. One must also ensure that the meat they eat is well-cooked.

Complementary Natural Care

Traditional Homeopathic formulas and Bio- resonance homeopathic remedies like N5 Bowel Pathogen and C45 Microflora are offered in Biogetica kits. They are traditionally believed to work by:

• Preventing the multiplication of pathogens by the way of irritating them
• Enhancing the immune responses by guiding the activity of white blood corpuscles
• Addressing associated symptoms like anal itching and nerve irritation

Every single ingredient in every Biogetica kit has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural supplements and complementary therapies. We, therefore, prefer not to make any claims, but instead, point all Patients and Doctors to independent research and clinical studies that support their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines, in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.

In order to present this information in an unbiased and up to date manner, we simply show you Google Scholar search results of all scientific articles available on a certain product or an ingredient. If you do so much as read the synopsis of the research, the choice becomes clear. You can read and compare the results of drug studies and the results of studies on which Biogetica relies. We support you in your right to know and choose drugs or natural alternatives!

Prana' stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. 'Pranayama' is the process that helps us control 'Prana', and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

1.Tandem Breathing ('Sahita Kumbhaka') 

It has 2 types, based on whether or not there is any concomitant chanting of Mantras with the Pranayama exercise. 

Steps:

1. Comfortable aasana like Padma-asana or Swastika-asana.
2. Slow inhalation; with concomitant chants of the mantra 'OM AARAH', if possible.
3. Hold the breath for a short period of time. 
4. Slow Exhalation.

Significance:

It's a daily and constant process, which we seldom appreciate.

Benefits:

It encourages concentration with closed eyes while we inhale and exhale.

2. Awakening breath ('Surya Bheda')

Steps:

1. Upright position in a comfortable asana like Padma-asana / Swastika asana / Siddhasana. Concentrate with eyes closed.

2. Rest the right thumb on the right nostril (Avoid applying any pressure or blocking the nostril). At the same time, rest the right index finger on the space between 2 eyebrows and close the left nostril with the right ring and little finger.

3. Slow inhalation through the right nostril is pursued, till comfortable.

4. With the thumb applied to the right nostril, retain the breath firmly pressing the chin against the chest. There is no specific limit to this and it can be pursued till there is discomfort.

5. Slow and silent exhalation through the left nostril. It is followed by a short gap wherein inhalation is avoided. This same procedure is to be repeated again.

• Inhale through the left nostril for a definite period of time – say 5 seconds.
• Close the left nostril with the right ring-finger and little-finger.
• Concurrently remove your thumb from the right nostril, and exhale.
• This is to be done for twice the inhalation period, i.e. for 10 seconds.
• This completes the first half of one round. 3. Second half round
• Inhale through the right nostril for a definite period say 5 seconds.
• Close the right nostril with the right thumb.
• Exhale through the left nostril for a period that is twice that of inhalation i.e. 10 seconds.
• This completes the other half of one round.

3. Second half round:

• Inhale through the right nostril for a definite period – say 5 seconds.
• Close the right nostril with your right thumb.
• Exhale through the left nostril for a period that is twice that of inhalation i.e. 10 seconds.
• This completes the other half of one round.

Time limit: 

If there is no discomfort of any kind after practicing as instructed above, increase the inhalation period gradually second-by-second. Correspondingly change the exhalation period.

Number of Rounds: 

Begin with 3 rounds. If there is no discomfort, 1 round can be added every week, until you are doing 7 rounds.

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.

So please, let it happen.
