Stress :

What is Stress?

Why did and where did this term come from and what does it actually mean?
What are its implications?

Let us take a perfect example of stress.

Imagine seeing a Lion on your way back home one day.
How does your human body cope with this?

The HPA axis (HPA-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) is activated. It causes the release of a stress hormone Cortisol. This hormone is responsible to bring about the necessary changes needed to act in this situation:
Mind: emotions like rage, fear, anger, panic develop-these are necessary for a quick action. All rational thinking must stop and actions must be quick without giving much thought.
Body: Different organs start functioning to fight stress
Heart: Pumps blood rapidly and blood vessels constrict
Blood: Gets thicker and red blood corpuscles are released more for more transport of oxygen Peripheral organs like mouth and skin: Get dry as the water from them is mobilized inwards to more important organs.
Stomach and intestines: Digestion stops and elimination hastens .So there is diarrhea to eliminate excess water and weight from the body.

These responses are apt for the situations of a lion or a war at the border of the country.

But did you know that the body responds in the same way when we are late in the office or when the child has to give an exam or when you have to make a presentation?

The body recovers from these effects after the Stressful situation is gone. However if these situations were faced day in and day out the body gets no time to recover from one stressful situation and it is already preparing to fight another one. This gives rise to a condition where the body is chronically under stress and its basic rhythm is completely lost. Regularly having to run for the bus is like running to catch up with time -just like running away from the lion .If you are running like this everyday.

• The vessels constrict everyday; the blood thickens everyday and the heart pumps faster everyday. This leads to ischemic heat diseases and blood pressure, etc.
  
  

If you have to make a presentation everyday and the GI -system is disrupted

• You land up with something called as the Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

These are just a couple of examples but there is a whole lot more.

How can homoeopathy help?

Stress is an inevitable part of modern life. Homoeopathy helps in understanding your personality and your individual perception of stress. Once this has been treated your sensitivity to the same stressful situation now reduces .It reaches a point where it is positively potent enough to stimulate you to work. Yet its disease causing potential has been nullified and you are free from the complaints. It broadens your perspective and gifts you a healthy and free lifestyle.

We, regularly, conduct workshops on stress and comprehensive care. They are completely free of cost. We also conduct lectures on corporate stress and homoeopathic care for companies and industries. The faculty involves four qualified and well-experienced medicos.
Dr.Shachindra Joshi, Dr.Bhawisha Joshi, Dr. Zahid Panchi and Dr. Amol Sangekar.

Family Dynamics and Stress :

Health is a multifactor phenomenon and so is Stress. Fortunately the science of Homoeopathy is also multifactorial. It takes every aspect is taken into consideration- the environment, family situation, profession and most important of all-the entire attitude of the individual. The science also emphasizes on Eugenics. Eugenics is a branch, which deals with the species not just an individual. It is a study of several humans and generations not just the present.

"A human is only a passing phenomenon whereas we have to safeguard the whole species".

Why is this approach most suitable today?

In today's world where every thing is getting globalized materially the body is also going global-the word being COMPREHENSIVE. Therefore, Holistic Health is gaining importance against single discrete body problems and individual problems. Man has realized that health comes as a package deal and it breaks down as a package deal as well. There are not one but several environmental factors responsible for the health of the entire family. This is what we term as Family Dynamics. Let us see a typical picture of a STRESSED OUT FAMILY.

The father is stressed because he has to provide for the family. He has to give the best and the latest to his children. The stress of this guilt (G-STRESS) reduces his work efficacy instead of increasing it. He comes home to a child who feels deprived of the love of his father. This child is already in this negative state. He cries to gain attention, which further stimulates the G-STRESS of the father. The end result -a frustrated father beats up the child.

The child's Stress of being unloved has reached its peak-he falls sick. He now needs extra attention from the mother. The mother has several problems at work with a colleague. She is trying hard to keep the family happy and deal with a jealous male colleague at office. The result is that the mother's stress of competition (C-STRESS) and responsibility (G-STRESS) reach a peak and she comes down with elbow pain - acute synovitis of the joint. Now we have a family that is sick in the body as well as mind.

How do we deal with this?

The child needs a remedy for the fever, which understands his basic problem of neglect and eases this feeling in him.

End result -A more secure and a better-behaved healthy child.

The father needs a remedy to relieve his guilt feeling and give him the freedom to work without the burden.

End result -Better work efficacy and happy moods.
Reduced risks of physical problems

The mother needs medication for her synovitis, which in turn will understand her stresses at work and make her free from her sensitivity to the envious milieu.

End result- She feels free at work. In the same situation she is, now, least bothered of the environment and can make best use of her time for work as well as her children.

All the energy of the family that was being used up negatively is now totally
STRESS FREE AND UTILISED IN BEING HAPPY TOGETHER.

PREGNANT WOMEN and HOMOEOPATHY:

Lets us take an example of a mother who is a little fearful by nature. Every little thing upsets her .She reads the newspapers and is convinced that the next theft would be in her house. Her husband returns late from work and she fears he met with an accident. These for an adult are minor fears, which we can reason out. But these in a pregnant woman directly affect the child. The child will also manifest the same fears, the same traits and the same negative emotions of the mother. When a pregnant mother takes Homoeopathy, not only is her state calm and healthy, but the child born is also in a much peaceful and healthier state of mind. The reflection of this is positively seen in his behavior, his physical development and his body immunity.

When you can help your family and create a better environment around you why settle for anything less!

Corporate Stress :

We, Dr.Shachindra and Dr.Bhawisha Joshi, are a team of internationally acclaimed Homoeopathic doctors working in co-ordination with restricted lives consultant Dr. Zahid Panchi and occupational therapist Dr. Amol Sangekar. After repeated successes with our patients we have now designed a comprehensive care program to maneuver your stress in a way that reduces its disease causing capacity and actually enhances your efficacy and productivity.
As we all know a triumphant business means hard commitments, glorious goals and colossal production. It implies loads of competition, struggle, running against deadlines and not cracking down under pressure.

The Bottom line is that Stress is essential and unavoidable. Our experience says it is very easily manageable.

How is this possible?
We have broken stress into several components in our program

• Internal stress
• Environmental stress
  
  

Internal stress: This involves

• Emotional stress--- e.g. anxieties, neurosis,
• Organ and System stress---e.g. asthma, neurodermatitis, ulcers, angina, hypertension
• Mental stress --competition, targets, goals ,etc.
  
  

Environmental stress:

• Physical stress-cervical spondilitis, low back pain, etc.
• Postural stress-seating postures, driving postures etc.

How do we tackle these?

• Therapeutic intervention
• Preventive and ergonomic advice
• Boosting your energy and molding your personality so that you work disease free
  and stress free

After all happiness and freedom is what we all yearn for.

Working in this all-encompassing fashion we have succeeded to bring about a radical change in moods, behavioural patterns and energy levels of our patients some of whom might have walked in for complaints of angina, asthma, low backache or even simple recurrent sinusitis.
We aim to improve restricted life-styles in the high-risk group and enhance the vigor and quality of life among the health-conscious.

If you have this kind of a comprehensive therapy available - Why settle for anything less.

We are sure that you would like to know more about this kind of a holistic, non-invasive and harmless solution. For this very purpose we conduct a short two-hour informative workshop called
