Home Remedies for Sterility
Sterility is a very common problem seen today where a person is biologically incapable to produce children. It is the problem of a couple rather than of an individual. Sterility can be of either the male or the female partner, so in general, we say that the couple is suffering from sterility. One of the preliminary steps in treating sterility is to determine whether the problem lies with the male or the female partner.
Sterility is also known as infertility. There are two basic types of sterility seen in people. The first type is known as primary sterility. In this the couple has never conceived a child. The second type, known as secondary sterility occurs when the couple has conceived a child, but has had a miscarriage. Primary sterility can be due to the male or the female partner; but secondary sterility is only due to problems with the woman's reproductive system.
Causes of Sterility:
In male, systematic diseases like diabetes and obesity; endocrine disorders like pituitary infantilism, hypothyroidism, adrenal hyperplasia are important causes. Similarly factors like heavy smoking, alcoholism, nervous tension about sex, and psychological problems can also be responsible. Genital factors like defective spermatogenesis, testicular atrophy following mumps; infections like gonococcal and tubercular in the genital tract, and aging above 45 can cause this disorder.
In Female, systematic diseases sufficient to suppress the ovulation and age above 40 are very common causes. Endocrine factors like frohlich’s syndrome, psychological factors like fear, and nervousness can also cause this problem. Genital factors like narrow vaginal introitus, vaginal atresia, high vaginal acidity, cervical, uterine, tubal, and ovarian disorders can cause sterility in females.
Treatment for Sterility:
- Grind the aerial root of a banyan tree to a fine powder. Collect about 10 grams of this powder. Put this powder in half a liter of milk and boil it. When about 200 milliliters are left, remove it from the flame and strain it. Mix sugar and honey in it. The woman must have this everyday from the fifth or seventh day of the commencement of the periods. Continue having this milk daily for ten days hence. This is considered to be the most effective remedy to make infertile women conceive.
- For women who are keeping normal health, but are still unable to conceive, the following remedy is found to work. Mix Shatavari choorna in ghee or milk and drink it on a daily basis before retiring for the day. This solves all the problems of the reproductive system and also makes it possible for the women to conceive.
- After every meal, the woman must take an areca nut (supari). This is effective in increasing fertility.
- Sterile couples must not overindulge in sexual activity. Restraint must be had, as it will improve the quality of the male sperm.
- Obesity is one of the leading causes of sterility. Hence, enrolling yourself in a weight-loss program will also help to bear children.
- Bala is the herb which is mostly prescribed for sterile women
- Phala ghrita is also very commonly prescribed. This is given in doses of two teaspoons twice daily when the stomach is empty.
- The root of the Ashwagandha plant is most important for the treatment of sterility in men.
- Makardhwaja is another important medicine. Makardhwaja is prepared by mixing gold, mercury and sulfur in a careful proportion.

Home Remedies of Morning Sickness
Morning sickness is the term given to the feeling of nausea and vomiting when the woman is pregnant. This type of heaviness is felt generally in the morning when the blood sugar level is down. However, it must not be thought that morning sickness can occur only in the morning. Episodes of such sicknesses can be felt through the day, right up to late afternoon.
Morning sickness is often the first sign of pregnancy, as it can start as early as 2 weeks after conception. Despite the name, the sufferer can feel ill at any time of the day, although as an empty stomach is thought to be one of the triggers then mornings are a common time for it to appear.
Cause of Morning Sickness:
Pregnancy directly implies a host of physical changes. Though none can be connected outright to morning sickness symptom, many of them together act as cause of pregnancy morning sickness. Few closely related causes of morning sickness are:
• Increased levels of estrogen and hCG i.e. human chorionic gonadotrophin hormones
• Increased sensitivity to selected odors and tastes
• Low levels of blood sugar
• Increase in progesterone leading to stomach acids
Morning Sickness Relief:
• Initial few experiences will help differentiate between smells that cause morning sickness and between odors that help deal with it. So once the list is ready, simply use it as a guide to avoid those aromas that could trigger off morning sickness.
• Eat often, especially in the mornings before you leave the bed. Munching some snacks/crackers would help
• Avoid anything that could interfere with easy digestion
• Give way to frequent naps. Do not resist dozing off if possible
• Vitamin B6 could act as morning sickness medication
• Intake of liquids throughout could help morning sickness prevention
• Never skip meals, rather eat frequently
• In some cooked rice, add a couple of spoonfuls of the bael juice. This must be taken twice or thrice a day, especially if the woman has persistent morning sickness problems.
• Take a handful of curry leaves and extract their juice. Mix in this the juice of one lemon. Add a spoonful of honey to the mixture.
• Unless you are prone to common colds, taking two oranges in the morning and the evening helps to keep you healthy during the pregnancy.
• Ginger is the best remedy for morning sickness.
• All mints are very effective in controlling morning sickness. Examples are spearmint, horsemint and peppermint.
• Due to its strong but pleasant odor, the lemon is extremely beneficial in the treatment of morning sickness.
• Morning sickness is caused due to lowering of the blood sugar early in the morning when you wake up. In order to increase the carbohydrate content, some dry crackers or biscuits can be had as soon as you wake up. For better effects, have these crackers or biscuits with a ginger or mint tea.
• Morning sickness is caused often when the woman is improperly nourished. Pregnant women must take an adequate balanced diet, even if they may not feel like eating most of the time.

Home Remedies for Moles
Mole or nevus is a general term to describe several spots or blemishes that may occur on the skin. Moles are of vastly different kinds – in some people the moles may be of the color of the skin itself, while in others they could be red, tan, brown or even black. Moles could be tiny spots on the skin, or they could be large warty outgrowths on the skin. Some moles could be present from birth (typically known as birthmarks), while some could appear later on in life due to specific circumstances.
Treatment for Moles:
1. Prepare a mixture of finely ground flaxseed in flaxseed oil. Add a dash of raw honey to the mixture. Apply this on the moles everyday. Within a couple of weeks, the moles fade and disappear.
2. Cut a pineapple and apply its fresh juice on the moles. Repeat this several times in a day. This is a quick method to get rid of the moles. Within just a couple of days, the moles will diminish and fade out.
3. The above method can also be done with the juice of a fresh fig instead of a pineapple.
4. Put a single drop of grapefruit juice on a cloth and tie it like a bandage on the mole. Change the bandage every five to six hours.
5. The juice of cauliflower can help the moles to drop off, especially if they are thicker warty moles. Apply the juice of a single cauliflower floret several times a day onto the mole. In about two to three days, the mole will likely fall off from the skin.
6. Honey by itself has curative properties to remove moles. Apply some honey onto the moles each morning.
7. Prepare a mixture of powder of dried and roasted pomegranate peel and juice of a lemon. Apply this mixture onto the moles for a few days in succession. The moles will eventually fade out and vanish, or they will directly fall off the skin.
8. If you already have moles, and do not wish to remove them, then be sure not to irritate the moles with your clothing or even by excessive exposure to the sun. If you do so, there is a risk that the mole will become cancerous. However if there is some definite change in the mole, then it is on its way to becoming cancerous. It must be removed immediately.
9. Potassium is very beneficial to people who wish to get rid of their moles. Apples contain a high proportion of potassium, especially in the form of apple cider vinegar.
10. Some warty moles can disappear when the juice of an onion bulb is rubbed over them. However this method is not guaranteed and may work only on smaller moles.
11. Garlic is also a good remedy for moles. It is crushed into a paste and applied on the moles for a few days.
12. Dandelion is extremely effective in the removal of warty moles.
13. Flaxseed has been used since traditional times for the treatment of moles.

Home Remedies for Cough
Cough is not a disease actually; it is a symptom of any kind of obstruction in the respiratory tract. Coughs can originate in the pharynx, bronchial tubes, trachea and the pleura lining of the lungs. In Ayurveda, coughing is known as Kaasa roga. It is predominantly an effect of the vitiation of the vata dosha. But the pitta and the kapha doshas can also cause coughs. Based on the causative factor, there are five types of coughs – vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja and kshayaja.
Symptoms of Cough:
The symptoms of a chronic cough can be hard to assess, because many causes of chronic cough have overlapping signs and symptoms. Infact, a cough is an annoying symptom that can have many causes.
However, some common cough symptoms include –
1) Shortness of breath, as well as coughing up pink, frothy mucus – maybe the cause is fluid retention in lungs
2) Cough produces clear pale yellow mucus – due to viral infection, such as cold
3) Cough produces yellow or greenish mucus – cause may be chronic bronchitis or pneumonia.
4) If cough is associated with wheezing and shortness of breath – reason could be asthma.
5) Fever, chills and night sweats along with chest pain when you cough – the cause may be tuberculosis
6) If lung cancer or a cancer of the air passages is present, one may cough up blood. Other symptoms that may point towards a cancer include increasing fatigue, loss of appetite, unexplained loss of weight, or decreased ability to swallow solid or liquid foods.
Causes of Cough:
Coughs caused by the common cold, or flu, generally clear up after a small number of days.
• Smoking
• Asthma
• Allergies
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Treatment of Cough:
1) Bay Berry (Myrica nagi) The bay berry is very effective in curing throat congestions which causes the coughs.
2) Belleric Myroblan (Terminalia belerica) The fruit of the belleric myroblan has excellent curative powers in the treatment of coughs caused due to catarrh.
3) Betel (Piper betle) Betel leaves when crushed, made into paste with water and applied externally on the chest have amazing effects in the treatment of coughs.
4) Butea (Butea monosperma) Butea leaves can treat congested and inflamed throats.
5) Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) Cloves can reduce the irritation of the throat. Cloves are more effective if the coughs are produced due to inflammation of the pharynx.
