Question 1

I've been dealing with gastritis for a few months now, and I got diagnosed with LAX LES GERD and H. pylori after an endoscopy. I completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H.pylori, but I'm not sure if it's fully gone. I'm still on acid blockers and antacids because my symptoms aren't getting much better. My stomach always feels bloated, and there's a burning sensation from the ribs down to the belly button, plus some discomfort when it comes to bowel movements. I've looked into allopathic treatments, but it seems like everything is about acid blockers, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this with Ayurveda or if there's any proven method to really cure it. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

It's good that you have completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication. Since you are still experiencing symptoms of gastritis and GERD, you can consider trying Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and body constitution. Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the disease and aims for long-term relief. Make sure to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner for better results.

Question 4

I'm struggling with these holes from past pimples on my face, and they just won't seem to go away. I've also got these whiteheads on my nose that are really stubborn. I'm really curious if there are any home remedies you could recommend to help with ...

Accepted Answer

You can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. This can help improve skin texture and promote collagen production to fill in the indentations over time. To get rid of whiteheads on the nose, you can try using products containing salicylic acid. A good option is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, which contains salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce whiteheads. Use it as a face wash once or twice daily. Additionally, you can make a homemade face mask using honey and cinnamon. Mix one tablespoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Honey has antibacterial properties, while cinnamon can help improve blood circulation to the skin. Remember to patch test any new products or ingredients on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions before applying them to larger areas of the face.

Question 5

I've been having this pain in my leg, and I'm worried it might be because of my high uric acid levels. Could you suggest what I can do about it? Id really appreciate any advice you could give me.

Accepted Answer

HIgh levels of uric acid lead to gout. Relief from gout pain can be achieved through NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. The medication to lower uric acid levels in the body is called allopurinol (brand name Zyloric). The dosage of each medication will have to be adjusted based on the your uric acid level reports and active symptoms. Opting for low purine content foods can also help reduce uric acid levels in the body.
