Indigestion - Natural home remedy for Acidity, Gas
We will be surprised to know how many of the discomforts we have everyday are caused by indigestion. Some of the Indigestion symptons are below.
What Are the Symptoms of Indigestion?
The symptoms of indigestion include:
- Burning in the stomach or upper abdomen
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating (full feeling)
- Belching and gas
- Nausea and vomiting
- Acidic taste
- Growling stomach
These symptoms may increase in times of stress.
One of the simple steps that you can do relieve yourself of these steps is to avoid drinking water immediately after the meals. Wait for an hour before consuming any liquid after the meals. Similarly reduce the quantity of water you consume before meals too. It is said among the yogis that the water in the stomach will wash away the enzymes needed for the digestion of food and hence drinking water right after meals causes indigestion.Reducing intake of water before and after meals is a simple step that can help you avoid many of the indigestion problems. This still won't solve indigestion arising out of greasy food or any other complications. Nonetheless a simple one to try!
I tried this simple remedy for the past 2 weeks, and I can feel the difference. There is less of belching and gas too.

Warning Signs of Stroke
The American Stroke Association says these are the warning signs of stroke: If you or someone with you has one or more of these signs, don't delay! Immediately call 9-1-1 or the emergency medical services (EMS) number so an ambulance (ideally with advanced life support) can be sent for you. Also, check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms appeared. It's very important to take immediate action. If given within three hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.

Dengue home remedy - Papaya
Heard a lot that Papaya juice can help in remedying Dengue fever. Luckily, papaya trees are equally ubiquitous in tropical climates. Read on.
I have not tested this nor do I know if this helps or causes any harm. The following is an excerpt from an email that I received.

Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.
A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever. papaya juice has cooling effect.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like Won Low Kat. But it works.
