Risk of high cholesterol

Risk of high cholesterol


Cholesterol risk has become such a problem today that young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly need to be aware of it. It is a dangerous disease that has no pre-existing symptoms and can suddenly cause major problems. When the problem becomes so big then it can be difficult to handle. Therefore, measures can be taken to prevent such a problem before it arises.



To avoid cholesterol, you can plan step by step. With a little effort, you can find a solution to this dangerous problem.


Cholesterol is essential for the body


The important thing is that cholesterol is essential for the body. Cholesterol is a chemical compound that is needed for cell formation and hormones. When this cholesterol goes up then the body starts to ache. This increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and various arterial diseases.


How much cholesterol does the body need?


Cholesterol is of two types. Low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol (harmful cholesterol) accumulates in the arteries (blood vessels) and causes dangerous diseases.


High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is also known as good cholesterol. It works by taking the bad cholesterol in the body to the liver. So that such cholesterol goes out of the body.


The liver makes cholesterol


Our liver produces 80 percent of the body's cholesterol. For the remaining 20 percent, we depend on a daily diet. Meat, eggs, fish, poultry, and dairy products (milk, yogurt, ghee) are sources of cholesterol. Foods taken from tree plants do not contain any cholesterol.


The liver controls the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is absorbed by the small intestine after each meal. Which is stored by the liver. When the body needs cholesterol, it is sent by the liver and removes unwanted cholesterol from the body. When the body stores excessive cholesterol.


When does it become dangerous for the body?


High cholesterol-raising foods increase the amount of LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body. This is called high cholesterol. If the body's LDL is too high and HDL is too low, cholesterol builds up in the blood cells. Cholesterol does not cause blood to flow properly in the body. It causes heart and brain problems. It can also be fatal.


How to detect signs of high cholesterol?


High cholesterol has no symptoms in itself. In most cases, it can appear suddenly. Sometimes it can be seen as a heart attack. As cholesterol builds up in your body, the blood vessels become smaller and the blood does not flow properly.


How to be vigilant?


Cholesterol can be detected by blood tests. It is believed that after the age of 20, you should have your blood tested every 4 to 6 years. If someone in your family has had high cholesterol problems before, you should check your cholesterol as soon as possible. People with high blood pressure, weight gain, and heavy smoking are also good for quick cholesterol testing.


Causes of high cholesterol


Diet: Eating too many fatty and dairy products can raise cholesterol. Eggs and meat-based foods are also factors in cholesterol.


Weight: Being overweight also causes cholesterol. Being overweight can also lead to high cholesterol.


Lack of physical activity: Lack of physical activity can also increase LDL i.e. bad cholesterol.


Age and gender: Age and gender also affect it. Cholesterol naturally rises in the human body after the age of 20. Cholesterol levels in men gradually decrease after the age of 50. While it is very rare in women until menopause.


Besides, some chronic diseases, such as having a person with high cholesterol in the family, can transmit hereditary traits, be affected by certain types of drugs, or even cause cholesterol problems due to smoking.

In the early stages of this problem, there is frequent pain in the middle part of the abdomen. Within a few hours, the right lower abdomen begins to ache. Where there is a problem with the appendix. At that time the abdominal pain becomes serious. This pain is exacerbated when walking or coughing.

Excessive food risk of serious disease, study says.

Excessive food risk of serious disease, study says.


Most people get sick because of their unhealthy eating habits. Not only can this cause stomach problems, but it can also be the cause of many other serious illnesses.


Recent research has shown that this is contrary to popular belief. Not only people who eat badly but also people who eat a lot of food are more likely to have problems including heart attack.






Various researches have described how unhealthy food increases heart insecurity. Eating too many increases the risk of heart attack for up to two hours after eating. So let's go into detail about what this research says.


What does the research say?


According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 610,000 people die of heart attacks in the United States each year. When investigators wanted to know the reason, they discovered some strange habits. One of the main habits of these is to eat too much food. This research shows that heavy food is the trigger for heart attack. This is especially harmful to people who are overweight or obese.


Eating too much increases the risk of heart attack


Eating too much food also causes problems related to cholesterol and high blood pressure. Which is most related to heart health. In fact, high levels of cholesterol can clog your arteries and cause circulatory problems. This circulatory problem is linked to high blood pressure and increases the risk of a heart attack. There are many other causes as well, due to which heavy eating can increase the chances of a heart attack. In fact, it takes energy to eat and digest food, which raises blood pressure along with the need for oxygen. It pumps more blood to the heart.


Similarly, high blood pressure obstructs the blood vessels in the arterial wall. Which causes a heart attack or stroke. Similarly, a high-fat diet impairs the function of the endothelium, the lining of the arteries. Researchers have found that the risk of heart attack increases almost fourfold within two hours of eating a lot of heavy foods. This problem is especially common in people with pre-existing heart disease. For example, a person with coronary artery disease or a previous heart attack is more likely to have this problem.


Nepalis have a balanced ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and other essential nutrients in their regular diet. But even eating such food can be a problem. Excessive consumption of fried foods with cream or butter can also easily lead to heart disease. So food should be eaten in a balanced way.

Constipation: Pay attention to these things!

 Constipation: Pay attention to these things!


Most people suffer from constipation due to a modern lifestyle and an unhealthy diet. Constipation can also be a cause of other piles, fistulas, fissures. The diet we eat plays an important role in all three cases of disease progression, other diseases, or complications. Therefore, it is beneficial for the health of the patients suffering from constipation to pay attention to the unhealthy diet.



Piles

Piles are also called hemorrhoids. If you have symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements, difficulty in passing, and lumps of flesh coming out, you should understand that you have piles. The main reason for this is constipation. It has four stages.


1. The first step


When defecating at this stage, the lump of flesh does not come out but the blood flows.


2. The second stage


At this stage, when defecating, a lump of meat comes out but after defecating, it goes inside by itself. At this stage, there is pain and even bleeding.


3. The third step


At this stage, when defecating, the lump of meat comes out and since it does not go inside itself, it should be pushed with the fingers of the hand. At this stage, there is itching, pain, swelling, and even bleeding.


4. The fourth stage


At this stage, the lump of meat does not go away even when pushed by the finger of the hand. Staying outside creates a fear of infection. It also causes bleeding, pain, etc.


Although the first and second stages are cured by medication, the third and fourth stages should be treated with alkali formula.



What is the alkali formula method?


Alkali is alkali and formula is the thread. The alkaline formula is the formula made by using Apamarg alkali and Haridra powder. This is an easy, safe, and reliable treatment for cutting soft flesh.


Fistula


It is also called a fistula. Due to the infection in the glands inside the defecation area and the pus accumulated there, one opens inside the defecation area, and the other open outside. Fistula in anomaly is a condition in which small holes are seen around the place of defecation. Even in this disease, there is pain and pus. If you can't find out just by looking at it with a proctoscope, you have to find the trachea of ​​the fistula by a fistulogram. Alkali formula method is a suitable treatment for this disease which is the main cause of constipation.


Fisher


Fissure in Eno is the problem of tearing around the place of defecation. It is also called parikartika and defecation in this problem causes extreme pain. Symptoms such as blood, pus, watery itching are also seen. Constipation is also the cause of this disease. The wound can be healed by dipping the defecation area in warm water and using medicine and ointment. If the flesh grows around the wound, that is, the senile tag, the alkali can be removed by the formula method.


To eliminate constipation caused by piles, fistulas, and fissures


What to eat


Fibrous foods should be eaten in large quantities. Fibrous vegetables and fruits help to relieve constipation. Get in the habit of eating salad. The salad should include cucumbers, radishes, carrots, turnips, cabbage, onions, turnips, etc. Drink plenty of water.


Water consumed as soon as you wake up in the morning is considered as nectar for constipation. Consumption of sprouted gram, lentils, wheat, soybean, fenugreek is considered beneficial for constipation.


 What to eat


Alcohol, alcohol, cigarettes, khaini, fish, meat, eggs, fried foods in oil should not be eaten too much. Eating large amounts of cold drinks, tea, coffee, potato chips, lentils, crisps, pickles, sour yogurt, flour, sugar, chilies, ghee, white rice is not beneficial for constipation patients. Haluvaved contains a large amount of tannic acid, which prevents food from moving into the stomach and takes a long time to digest. Therefore, Haluvaveda is not beneficial for constipated patients.


Raw bananas contain a lot of starch, which is difficult for the body to digest and it also absorbs intestinal water, which increases constipation by drying out the direction.

Virtual visit to Bhaktapur: Observation of heritage from home

A virtual visit to Bhaktapur: Observation of heritage from home


Due to the slowdown in the global coronavirus epidemic, the cultural heritage of the country, including the Kathmandu Valley, has become desolate. The situation of those who make a living by providing various services to the tourists coming to the same heritage area is now becoming pitiable.


Meanwhile, Bhaktapur Sampada Yatra, which has been organized in collaboration with the Bhaktapur Tourism Development Committee, Story Cycle, European Union, and other organizations for the information of the cultural and tourism sector of Bhaktapur, will be held on Tuesday through the virtual medium.






At the main entrance on the west side of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square area, the internal and external tourists who are ready for the heritage journey start their heritage journey with an artistic Ugrachandi and Ugrabhairav ​​statue next to the temple. After that, the advancing team reaches Chardham, Nyakanjya Durbar, Golden Gate, and reaches the palace at 55 o'clock. Nyakanjya Durbar means a window with a mirror. That is, when the first Muslim rulers came, they gave a mirror as a gift to the king of Nepal. At that time, it was not customary to look in the mirror in Nepal. According to the locals, the palace was named Nyakanjya Durbar because the king kept a mirror in the window so that everyone could see it. This is how the heritage journey of Bhaktapur increases. Each temple has its own set of legends.


Along with the analysis of the temple, information is given about the heritage of Bhaktapur, the center of ancient and medieval cultural structures.


Ram Sundar Beale, chairman of the Bhaktapur Tourism Development Committee, informed that the procession will reach the priest's house through the temple, Bhairavnath's temple, Taumadhi, and Dattatraya.


The heritage journey does not only look at those tangible and established heritages. According to the ethnic rites, the cultural rites are reflected in every deed of the devotees in daily work. In Bhaktapur, which has been avoiding external rites as much as possible, one can still see a vibrant culture step by step.


Every stream and well there is associated with folk art. Each temple carries a complete history, as well as examples of original and new art culture.


After entering the Pashupati temple, the tourist enjoys the beauty of the local food along with the beauty of the Nyatpole and sits in front of the Nyatpole and moves forward with his indelible memories in his mind. The courtyard of the Nyatpole, which is the boundary between the potters and the metalworkers, is not just a stage for the division. It is also a courtyard to increase harmony by gathering people of both castes on one day of the year.


The Bhaktapur Sampada Yatra, which was started as per the plan to taste local art, culture, and food items during the yatra, will start virtually from Bhaktapur on Tuesday at 4 pm.


Bhaktapur, which has done exemplary work in the preservation of tangible and intangible culture, has also given importance to the cities of European countries in this heritage journey. Ram Sundar Bhele, chairperson of the Bhaktapur Tourism Development Committee, said that they are ready to provide information about the entire tangible and intangible culture during the virtual heritage trip to be conducted by local guide Rita Suwal.


The British Council and the European Union are also planning to promote the event on their social media platforms. This is the sixth Sampada Yatra in Bhaktapur. It will be on Tuesday from 4 p.m.

Besides, high blood pressure, head injuries, obesity, etc. can also cause Alzheimer's disease, so in recent times, Alzheimer's disease has become a 'thread' for the world. Therefore, it is necessary to spread public awareness to raise public awareness about it.


These are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.


Symptoms

Stages of Alzheimer's disease


Generally, Alzheimer's disease has three stages.


Early-stage- In the early stage, the patient's friends, family, and other people may feel this problem. However, people with this disease can easily drive and do other things. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. And, forgetting where you put the word you know or the object you use, having a problem with the name, forgetting what you read, being unable to make any plans.


Moderate-stage Alzheimer's disease can last for years if it is in the middle stage. As the disease progresses, the person may need more care. Because people with Alzheimer's often get confused about the word and start behaving strangely.


Besides, the person with the problem may forget their past, be moody, forget their home and office address, have difficulty choosing clothes for the weather and special occasions, have difficulty urinating and stopping, sleep during the day instead of at night, and be restless at night and change behavior. Begins to show.


Final Stage - In this stage the person becomes unable to react to the environment around them, communicate with the people around them, and control their activities. As a result, as their memory diminishes, so does the person.


And, they need to be taken care of all the time, constantly reminded of the environment around them, taught to eat, swallow, and talk.


How to avoid


There is no definitive way to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Scientists are still researching it. However, the risk of Alzheimer's can be reduced by controlling the risk of heart disease, cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes. Besides, regular exercise from a young age can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.

Risk of cancer due to poor lifestyle

Risk of cancer due to poor lifestyle


As long as we live, many processes related to life continue in our bodies. One of these actions is to become cells. In this process, the old and dead cells of the body are destroyed by themselves but new cells are formed in their place. This process continues in our bodies.


However, in the case of cancer, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the body begin to grow unnecessarily. These cancer cells slowly spread throughout the body and interfere with the functioning of healthy cells. These diseased cells are called cancers.


Our bodies, like computers, have many types of coding, which are passed on to our bodies by our parents through genes. Cigarettes, tobacco, drugs, and the wrong diet change the genetic code of our cells and this is what causes cancer in our body. Therefore, our lifestyle is responsible for getting cancer or not.



According to doctors, poor diet and lifestyle are the main causes of cancer. Inactive people, people who smoke, and people who smoke are at risk of cancer.


The risk of any type of cancer is high in people who smoke and smoke. Therefore, to avoid serious diseases like cancer, the use of tobacco should be stopped immediately.


Smoking can cause lung cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and cervical cancer. Tobacco and gutkha can cause cancer of the mouth and digestive glands. Cigarettes are found to be the biggest cause of cancer in 90 percent of cases.


Cigarettes enter the body when smoking bindi or cigarettes. These elements convert healthy cells into diseased cells and these same cells turn into cancer. There is also danger in not smoking cigarettes or bindi but constantly in contact with second-hand smoke.


Alcohol is dangerous for the body and it also increases the risk of cancer. Prolonged consumption of alcohol increases the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer, and anal cancer.


Uncontrolled weight gain can also lead to cancer and other serious illnesses. To control weight, you need to work hard every day.


It is said that if you work in one place all day, you will have to exercise for half an hour in the morning or evening. It is also important for the health of the body that the calories we eat should be used. Otherwise body fat starts to accumulate and obesity starts to increase. Obesity increases the risk of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, etc.


A nutritious diet is needed to protect the body from disease, to get the energy it needs for fitness and to work all day. A nutritious diet means fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, and dried fruits.


It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of oil, spices, and rations used at home. When buying fruits, make sure that no chemicals are used to cook them. Consumption of adulterated and chemical milk and cheese, sweets, and dishes made from it can also be harmful to the body. Let's use nuts and pulses as much as possible in food.


Junk foods are also high in calories and use many harmful ingredients to enhance the taste. Therefore, the body should take only the required amount of nutritious food


The sun's rays are good for the body, but only to a limited extent. Weight loss will be followed by exposure to the sun and harmful ultraviolet rays, which are harmful to the body. Prolonged exposure to these rays increases the risk of skin cancer.


Sunscreen protects against the effects of these harmful rays to some extent. But, apart from this, it is better to cover your whole body when you go out in the sun. Wear sunglasses and darker clothing to protect your eyes from these harmful rays.

Corona: Does herd immunity spread every year until it develops?

Corona: Does herd immunity spread every year until it develops?


Many are now wondering, "When will the risk of the coronavirus end?" However, some vaccines are still being tested, but no real breakthrough has been achieved.


When will the coronavirus be the most common disease in the world? No one in the world today can answer that question. Scientists are conducting research and are not sure how long it will take for the coronavirus to be vaccinated. All that has been said about it is speculation.






A group of scientists recently said after research that the current problem of the coronavirus will not be solved until the herd develops immunity. Herd immunity is a public health belief that after 70 percent of the population is infected with corona, the rest develop antibodies on their own. Many scientific studies have concluded that the epidemic will not end until a large population develops antibodies against the coronavirus.


The concept of herd immunity is already emerging. Some countries have even used it. Scientists have also pointed out that the Covina virus-transmitted Covid-19 infection could be caused by seasonal raisins in countries with large differences in temperature.


Dr. Hassan Jarquet of the American University of Beirut in Lebanon says, "Even if the infection here is reduced now, it spreads every year until herd immunity develops." "Now we have to learn to live with the coronavirus. Prevention should be practiced by wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, washing hands, and taking necessary measures to get rid of congestion, ”said Jarrett.


Similarly, Dr. Qatar University in Doha. Hadi Yassin also says that one should learn to live with the coronavirus until the development of herd immunity.


More danger in rising temperatures!


Scientists also say that many communicable diseases, including respiratory viruses, recur regularly. People are especially at risk, especially in areas where the temperature fluctuates sharply. For example, influenza and other types of coronavirus can spread in winter or in cold places. Researchers in this study studied SARS-COVE-2 and found that it already had the property of being viral and spreading. At the same time, the cost factor was needed to keep repeating as a seasonal problem, which is also seen in it.


Crowds in closed spaces are dangerous


Scientists say the virus can stay on the surface for days, as well as in the air for hours. Because of this, people are at higher risk of contracting the virus. The virus can spread very fast due to heavy crowds in closed places. They believe that the virus can attack many times a year, especially during hot weather and in humid places.


The virus will be stopped by natural infection or vaccination


Scientists say that herd immunity develops in two ways. The first after a natural virus attack and the second using a vaccine.


COVID 19 infection spreads faster than the flu, making people more vulnerable than others. As the immune system gradually develops, the virus will begin to develop as a seasonal disease. This is because other types of coronaviruses such as NL63, HKU1, etc. also spread like influenza every year.

A bad environment makes people feel inferior

 A bad environment makes people feel inferior


The problem of suicides in Nepal during the Great Earthquake of 2072 BS was gradually brought under control shortly after that. In contrast, in countries such as Japan and Taiwan, the suicide rate has been declining for the past two years, according to international media reports. Although it is not certain how many people committed suicide during the earthquake in Nepal, it is undeniable that there were more suicides during that time than at normal.


Suicide rates have risen alarmingly even during the ongoing lockdown and curfew caused by the Coronavirus COVID 19. This problem was created when there was uneasiness in the mind due to the fear of when the earthquake will take its life.






At the time of the earthquake, only a few areas of Nepal were affected. This was a problem for the employment of some people in the area, while those living abroad were able to earn a living. But almost five years after the quake, the epidemic has affected the world, and it is estimated that there are more psychiatric problems than ever before. However, due to the lack of clear study on this, it has not been possible to say with certainty.


Even before the local administration issued the injunction, it was reported that about 1,200 people had committed suicide across the country. This is just a death toll. There are no definite statistics on the number of people suffering from depression who are on the verge of death, and it is difficult to estimate the number of patients who have died.


There have been unconfirmed reports that 2,000 people have committed suicide since the lockdown began. Thus, 2,000 people committing suicide in six months is a terrible form of mental problem. In the beginning, it is important to know why mental problems occur and at what stage people commit suicide.


Psychology considers the first stage of depression to be the first person to suffer from an inferiority complex. The illusion that life does not exist even when some work is not done can arise in your mind. If this is the case then maybe we should contact a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Then there are the conditions of mental problems that gradually become a burden in society, plan to die, try to die, commit suicide, etc.


No matter how many suicide problems there are today, these are all issues related to mental health. Mental problems are the main reason people commit suicide. Therefore, we have to look for a solution to the mental problem from the very beginning.


In which areas are there more problems?


Without a detailed study, there is no basis to say that people in this area are very involved in mental problems and suicides. However, based on the number of people who come for counseling in general, it has been found that school-age adolescents and those who have left their jobs are very mentally deranged.


Adolescents who enjoy regular homework and socializing with their friends are more likely to suffer from mental retardation when they are not able to visit their friends for long periods of time. Extracurricular activities also kept people busy. But now that all those activities have stopped, there seems to be a problem for many. On the other hand, the pain of being fired from a job due to the Kovid epidemic has also caused mental problems in many people. There are also examples of people committing suicide as they worry about how to support their families.


How to avoid it?


It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. There is still a lot of anxiety in people. Due to that, mental problems are also increasing. Some methods have to be adopted for its prevention.


First of all, there are various signs or symptoms of mental illness. As soon as these symptoms appear, you should go for psychotherapy. The role of society is also important for this. Mental problems are a disease that can never be cured, just as a society often ignores them and treats them inwardly without much treatment. If the mental problem seen in different stages could not be solved in time, then the mental problem is seen in the next stage, so it is necessary to pay attention to its solution.


Mental problems are largely cured through psychotherapy. If you have some complex mental problems, you may need to take medicine for it but it is cured. Some people have the illusion that it is a completely curable disease once the medicine is taken. Therefore, people with such a disease should seek treatment in time rather than considering themselves weak.

Effect of Ayurvedic treatment in Isolation Center

Effect of Ayurvedic treatment in Isolation Center



If you reach the Brahma Muhurat in the morning, the diary of the corona infected people kept at the Ayurveda Research Center in Kirtipur will not only surprise many but may also inspire them not to take the disease seriously. As soon as they wake up in the morning, some of them go to a place where they can do yoga, and those who are interested start enjoying their own kind of dance. Some live as musicians, some as spectators.


Doesn't Corona move from here when you hear it immediately? It may seem that the physical distance is taken into consideration while doing all these activities. Even security guards and nurses assigned to guard the center at a physical distance sometimes participate in such recreational activities.






The isolation of the center, which is kept in the same family environment, has helped the corona infected to recover and return home faster than elsewhere, according to the center officials.


The center has been developed as an isolation center for infecting corona and has been added to the list of centers for better management of isolation. One of the slogans of the center is 'Strength of the patient should be strengthened, not the strength of the disease.' After all, what is the condition of the infected living there and its management?


According to the center, no corona-infected person had to be kept in isolation for more than 10 days until the government decided to keep them in the isolation center for 14 days and send them home without testing. Assistant Medical Specialist of the Center Dr. According to Vikas Raj Ghimire, the center has been able to send people between the ages of 2 and 78 years by releasing corona from isolation.


Chief Training Officer of the Center Dr. According to Nirmal Bhusal, 90 percent of the infected patients have returned home with corona negative within seven days. "Most of the patients return home with a negative corona within seven days," he said. They have returned home in 10 days even though they are late. Due to the patient-friendly environment here, they appear to have been quickly discharged from the corona. '


Bhusal says that not only those who are now in isolation but also those who are in home isolation are constantly seeking advice on Ayurvedic medicine by telephoning. He says, "We have succeeded in dispelling the misconception about Ayurvedic medicine in the society." He said that although Ayurvedic medicine has not been proven to prevent corona, they have succeeded in proving that it helps in boosting the immunity of people.


Regular use of Ayurvedic medicine


No scientific experiment has confirmed the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medicine in the prevention of the coronavirus. But in this isolation center, the use of regular ayurvedic medicine helps to increase the immunity of the infected, he said. It belongs to Bhusal.


According to Bhusal, the infected people at the center were allowed to take various Ayurvedic medicines produced by Singha Durbar Vaidyakhana regularly.


According to the center, medicines made by mixing gurgle and author, marij, people, mica ash powder, jethi honey, ashwagandha, etc. are fed daily. "The charming atmosphere of Kirtipur may have helped the patient to recover faster," says Bhusal. "The external and internal management of the isolation ward was our attempt to prevent the patients from feeling that I was sick."


Yoga and recreation


Another important feature of this isolation center is the means of entertainment. The management of the isolation center encourages every infected person to do regular yoga. According to Bhusal, after waking up in the morning at the center, the infected people have been doing various asanas and yoga to suit themselves. Bhusal said that options like lungo and carom board have been provided for entertainment and dance and instrumental music can be used whenever he likes.


20 infected referred to APF hospital


According to the latest statistics, 20 of the patients have been referred to the Armed Police Force Hospital in Balamb. According to Bhusal, he had to undergo an X-ray as the fever was increasing and he had to be kept in the ICU as it became more complicated. "As the problem of pneumonia is on the rise, it has been referred to the ICU as a problem," he told Online News. "We have so far received 20 referrals due to lack of technology to do X-ray and ICU infection in the ICU."


What is the difference between other isolations and here?


There is a lot of difference in this isolation which is usually kept in the Ayurvedic treatment center than in home isolation. The annoying situation of having to live alone at home does not remain in this isolation. If you have any health problems, you can consult a doctor immediately. The difference between it and other isolation centers is that others try to cure the symptoms using modern medicine but the center will try to cure the disease with the help of Ayurvedic medicine and yoga meditation, he said.
