I'm really worried because I think I might have paraphimosis. My foreskin is stuck and it's formed this ring with some swelling. Is there any way I can treat this at home or should I see a doctor?

Paraphimosis can restrict blood flow to the glans penis( head ),potentially leading to tissue damage if left untreated. Therefore, while some home remedies may provide temporary relief , definitive treatment should be performed by a specialist .

View allI've been thinking about using ashwagandha, shatavari, kaunch beej, and safed musli powder as supplements, but I'm worried about how safe they are for my liver and kidneys if I take them for a long time. I'm 24, male, and unmarried. Could you let me know if it's safe and how I should take them?
As a 24-year-old male, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Kaunch Beej, and Safed Musli powder are generally considered safe for kidneys and liver in moderation; to use them long-term, consult an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance, but a common approach is to cycle them for 3-4 months, followed by a 1-2 month break, and start with a small dose (12 teaspoon) twice a day, mixed with milk or water, and gradually increase as needed and under expert supervision.

I'm trying to figure out the best time to drink milk. Should I have it in the morning or at night? Also, is it okay to drink milk right after dinner, or should I wait a bit? I've got a mixed pitta dominant and vata prakrati, so I'm wondering if milk is good for me. Plus, when I have acidity, is it recommended to drink milk? And what about when I'm constipated is milk a good idea then?
It's good to have milk at your comfortable time, except when you have constipation issues you try to avoid it

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've been hearing a lot about this detoxification therapy in Ayurveda. Is it something I really need to consider? When's the right time to go for it, and what's the process actually like? I'm curious how effective it really is, and if it comes with any benefits or potential side effects. Just trying to get a clear picture, you know?
In modern medicine, detoxification is not typically necessary for everyone, as the body has its own natural detoxification processes. However, if you are looking for a detoxification therapy, you can consider using over-the-counter products like Milk Thistle or Dandelion Root to support liver function. These can be taken as directed on the packaging for a short period of time. For a more structured detox program, you can try a cleanse kit like Renew Life Total Body Cleanse. This kit usually includes capsules or powders to be taken over a specific period, along with dietary recommendations. The benefits of detoxification may include improved energy levels, clearer skin, and weight loss. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these benefits is limited. As for side effects, common side effects of detoxification programs may include fatigue, headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. It's important to stay well-hydrated during any detox program and to consult with a healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
