monishamantra

Stomach feeling Full and Digestion slows down - Don't Ignore

Diabetic patients are at a higher risk of developing gastroparesis, a digestive disorder which can cause many complications, affecting the
quality of life.

Symptoms

  • Abdominal bloating

Diabetes and Gastroparesis

Over a period of time constant high blood sugar levels damage the nervous system and also the vagus nerve. This nerve signals the
stomach muscles to contract, thus pushing food into small intestine. The damage to vagus nerve results in delayed emptying of food from stomach to intestine thus disrupting digestion process leading to Gastroparesis.

Complications

  • Problem in managing blood sugar
  • Malnutrition
  • Formation of life-threatening undigested solid food mass, called
  • bezoars in intestine

Diabetic Retinopathy

monishamantra

This disease can cause Blindness, timely treatment is necessary

Diabetes mellitus can lead to many long term health complications like Cardiovascular diseases, Nephropathy, Neuropathy as well as Eye disorders like Retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy occurs mainly due to uncontrolled high blood sugar levels, generally affecting both eyes. It takes many years to reach the final stage of vision loss or blindness.

Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by two main stages:

  1. Non-proliferative retinopathy is initial stage beginning with tiny
    bulges (micro aneurysms) in retinal blood vessels, which result in
    blockage and fluid leakage into retina, leading to noticeable
    eyesight problems.
  2. Proliferative retinopathy is advanced stage with growth of new
    retinal blood vessels. These are so fragile that it can lead to
    hemorrhage and scars also develop on retina. All this results in
    vision problems and finally blindness.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we apply natural ways of treatment and
prevention for Diabetic Retinopathy in following manner:, without
using Laser, without injection, without Medicine and without any Side-
effect

  • Healthy lifestyle changes with regular exercises, yog-pranayama,
    smile taiji, smile meditation and healthy nutritious diet
  • Sujok Therapy:
    1. Apply fenugreek (methi) plaster below middle joint on inner side of any finger (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. On corresponding eye points on thumb apply whole green gram (sabut moong) (as shown in Pic 2)
