Diabetes related-Skin Disorders

Diabetes - Signs / Symptoms are visible on the SKIN

How many of us are aware that skin problems are one of the common complications of diabetes? According to research studies 1 in 3 diabetic patients will develop skin disorder at some point. Diabetes and skin problems can be very challenging but there are simple natural ways to manage without medicine!

How diabetes causes Dry Skin

High blood sugar levels make the body produce more urine to remove sugar by extracting water from cells, thus dehydrating the skin. This results in dry skin which can over a period of time crack, peel or become itchy and further lead to infections and skin disorders. Also
neuropathy and poor blood circulation combine to increase risk of skin disorders.

Types of Diabetes-related-Skin disorders

  • Pruritus (itchy skin)
  • Xerosis (dry skin)
  • Fungal and bacterial infections
  • Acanthosis nigricans (thickened dark skin)
  • Blisters
  • Dermopathy (scaly colored patches)
  • Digital sclerosis (hardened skin and stiff toes and fingers)
  • Vitiligo (discolored skin)

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we help Diabetic patients to treat their skin disorders problem, without Medicine and without any Side-effect,in the following manner:

  • Maintain blood sugar levels with healthy diet consisting of more vegetables and fruits, include brisk walks and regular exercise and drink minimum 12 glasses of warm water daily
  • Sujok Therapy:
    1. Apply bar magnets on first joint of index finger with yellow
      part towards tip on outer side daily for 2 hours (as shown in
      Pic 1)
    2. Stimulation of pancreas corresponding point on left side of
      palm with diagnostic probe or thumb for a minute, 4 times
      daily (as shown in Pic 2)

Obesity

Obesity increases the risk possibility of type 2 Diabetes by six times

According to WHO obesity is today the leading global health serious problem. Obesity is the major cause of type 2 diabetes which increases the risk of serious life-threatening health issues like heart disease, kidney failure and nerve damage. By 2025 the prevalence of obesity-related type 2 diabetes is expected to reach 300 million!

What is obesity?

Obesity is a chronic metabolic condition in which there is excess fat (adipose tissue) accumulation in the body. It is defined as the Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeding 30 kg/m2.

Causes of obesity

  • Insufficient physical activity
  • Unhealthy eating habits
  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep
  • Genetic

Relation between Obesity and Diabetes

Insulin transports glucose to muscle cells and liver for release of energy. Obesity increases fatty acids and inflammation which makes cells resistant to insulin, resulting in excess glucose in blood which gradually leads to type 2 diabetes.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra` we help individuals to Treat & Reverse their obesity-related diabetes in the following natural manner:-

  • Healthy weight-loss plan – include millets, nuts, seeds, whole grains, beans, brown rice, fruits, salads, soups

      first thumb joint, with yellow part facing towards tip of
      thumb (as shown in Pic 1)

      palm, corresponding to liver (as shown in Pic 2)

    from making insulin. 5-10% people suffer from type 1 diabetes,

    of people have type 2 diabetes which is basically due to lifestyle

Back Pain during Pregnancy

Are you troubled by the problem of back pain in Pregnancy ?

Back pain during pregnancy affects more than 50% women, typically starting from the second trimester. The pain is generally in the lumbar area or in the posterior pelvic region, that is near the tail bone.

  • Increase of hormone relaxin during pregnancy helps pelvic area ligaments and joints to soften and loosen in preparation for labor. This results in strain and pressure in lower back area
  • Stress
  • Muscle separation – As the uterus grows bigger, two parallel sheets of muscles running from rib cage to pubic bone separate along the center causing backache

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we have treated and helped many pregnant women, of their backache problem, without Painkillers without any Side-effect, in the following manner:
