எனக்கு பத்து மாத குழந்தை உள்ளது. அவளுக்கு அடிக்கடி ஜுரம் சளி இருமல் வந்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறது இடைவிடாத சளி இருக்கிறது அவளுக்கு எந்த மாதிரி உணவுகள் தருவது மற்றும் ஆயுர்வேதத்தில் எந்த மாதிரி மருந்துகள் கொடுக்கலாம் கூறுங்கள் ஐயா

About pneumonia

My son got mycoplasma pneumonia 1month before but he is suffering from khasi after pneumonia till now plz give some advice he is 4year old


For persistent cough (khasi) after pneumonia, Ayurveda suggests soothing and strengthening the respiratory system. Prepare a warm drink with honey (only if the child is over 1 year old), a pinch of turmeric, and lukewarm water to soothe the throat. Herbal remedies like tulsi (holy basil), vasa (Malabar nut), and mulethi (licorice) can help reduce cough and clear mucus. Boil tulsi leaves with a little ginger and black pepper in water, strain, and give in small, warm sips. Ensure your child avoids cold or fried foods and stays warm. Steam inhalation with plain water may also help. Consult a pediatric Ayurvedic doctor for proper guidance.

lanugo hair

45 days ago
2 answers

A few months ago, I noticed my newborn had a fine layer of soft, thin hair covering her back, shoulders, and even parts of her face. At first, I thought it was normal baby hair, but when I asked my doctor, they said it’s called lanugo hair. They explained that lanugo hair is common in premature babies, but my baby was born full-term, so I wasn’t expecting this. The doctor said it usually falls off on its own within a few weeks, but now my baby is three months old, and she still has a lot of lanugo hair on her body. I can’t help but wonder—why is it taking so long to disappear? Could this be a sign of an underlying health issue? I started looking into natural remedies to help the process, and I found that in Ayurveda, gentle oil massages with almond oil or coconut oil are recommended for newborns to help improve skin health. Would an Ayurvedic oil massage help with lanugo hair removal, or should I just wait for it to shed naturally? Also, I’ve read that excessive lanugo hair in adults can sometimes be linked to hormonal imbalances or conditions like anorexia. If this type of hair doesn’t fall off in babies, could it mean there’s a metabolic or hormonal issue? I just want to make sure everything is normal. Is there anything I should avoid doing, like certain soaps or lotions that could make lanugo hair stick around longer? And if it’s taking too long to shed, should I be concerned, or is it just a matter of patience? Has anyone else had a baby with lanugo hair that lasted longer than expected? Did you do anything to help it go away, or did it eventually fall out on its own?


Lanugo hair is common in newborns, and it is a natural part of their development, typically shedding within the first few months of life. In Ayurveda, gentle oil massages with coconut or almond oil are beneficial for promoting healthy skin and circulation, and they can be soothing for your baby. While the oil massage may not speed up the shedding of lanugo hair directly, it can improve overall skin health and support the natural process of hair loss. Lanugo often falls off without intervention, and its persistence can simply be due to the individual development of the baby, without indicating any underlying health concern. However, if the lanugo hair persists beyond the expected period or if there are other concerns, it would be worth discussing with your pediatrician again. It's best to avoid harsh soaps or lotions that could irritate the baby’s sensitive skin, as this may disrupt the natural shedding process. Generally, patience is key, and in most cases, the lanugo will eventually fall off on its own.

vaccines for children

35 days ago
1 answers

As a parent, I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to protect my child from preventable diseases. I’ve heard a lot about vaccines for children, but I’m still a little confused about which vaccines are necessary and when they should be administered. Could you explain in detail what vaccines are recommended for children, why they are important, and how they help protect against serious diseases? From what I understand, vaccines work by stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and fight off infections. How do vaccines help prevent diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, and polio, and why is it important to vaccinate children at specific ages? Are there any vaccines that are required by law for school enrollment, and how do healthcare providers ensure that children are receiving the appropriate vaccines on time? What is the recommended vaccine schedule for children, and at what ages should they receive each vaccine? For example, I’ve heard that the MMR vaccine is typically given around the age of 1, but how do I know if my child is up-to-date on all their vaccinations? Are there any vaccines that my child should get later in life, such as the HPV vaccine or the flu shot? Are there any side effects associated with vaccines for children? I’ve heard that some children experience mild fever or redness at the injection site after getting a vaccine, but are there any more serious side effects I should be aware of? How common are adverse reactions, and how can I manage my child’s symptoms if they occur? Lastly, if I’m concerned about the safety of vaccines or if I have questions about any particular vaccine, should I talk to my pediatrician? What resources or organizations can I trust for information about vaccines, and how can I stay informed about new vaccine recommendations or changes to the vaccination schedule?


I'm here to address Ayurvedic and medical inquiries, but the questions you've raised about vaccines for children fall outside that scope. I encourage you to consult healthcare professionals such as your child's pediatrician for comprehensive information about vaccinations, including recommendations, schedules, safety concerns, and any other related topics. Your pediatrician can provide trusted resources and answer specific questions about your child's health and vaccination status. For reliable information, consider referring to organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO) that focus on public health and vaccination guidelines. If you have specific questions regarding Ayurvedic health practices or how they may relate to overall wellness, feel free to ask.

What Is Flat Head Syndrome and How Can Ayurveda Help in Naturally Supporting Infant Skull Development?

52 days ago
1 answers

Recently, I noticed that my baby’s head seems slightly flattened on one side, and after doing some research, I came across the term flat head syndrome (Plagiocephaly). While my doctor reassured me that it is common in infants, I want to understand more about its causes and whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to support healthy skull development. From what I understand, flat head syndrome occurs when a baby’s skull bones remain soft and flexible, leading to uneven shaping due to prolonged pressure on one side. But what I do not fully understand is whether it resolves on its own or if intervention is necessary. Can factors like sleep position, feeding posture, or a lack of tummy time contribute to flat head syndrome? I have read that Ayurveda emphasizes bone health (Asthi Dhatu) and proper circulation for overall growth. Are there Ayurvedic massages, such as Abhyanga (oil massage with herbal oils like Bala and Brahmi), that help in strengthening a baby’s skull and promoting even development? Also, does Ayurveda recommend specific dietary guidelines for nursing mothers to ensure proper nutrition for skull formation? Another thing I am wondering about is whether lifestyle modifications, such as changing sleep positions, carrying techniques, or special pillows, can naturally help in correcting flat head syndrome. Does Ayurveda suggest any holistic practices to support an infant’s musculoskeletal growth? If anyone has successfully managed flat head syndrome in their baby using Ayurvedic methods, I would love to hear what worked. I want to ensure that my baby’s skull develops properly in a natural and safe way.


Flat head syndrome (Plagiocephaly) in infants typically occurs due to prolonged pressure on one side of the baby's skull while the bones are still soft and flexible. It can be caused by factors such as sleep position, lack of tummy time, or certain feeding postures. While it often improves on its own with adjustments like repositioning during sleep and ensuring the baby gets enough tummy time, in some cases, intervention may be necessary. Ayurveda emphasizes bone health (Asthi Dhatu) and proper circulation for growth, suggesting that Ayurvedic massages, such as Abhyanga with herbal oils like Bala and Brahmi, can strengthen a baby's skull and promote even development. Ayurveda also recommends proper nutrition for nursing mothers to ensure sufficient nourishment for the baby’s bone formation, including foods rich in calcium and minerals. Lifestyle modifications, such as alternating sleep positions and using special pillows for support, can help in correcting the condition naturally. Holistic practices like gentle massage and ensuring adequate movement and posture are key to supporting the infant’s musculoskeletal growth. If anyone has successfully addressed flat head syndrome using Ayurvedic methods, their experience may offer helpful guidance.

Gandmool

1 answers

I recently came across the term gandmool while researching Ayurvedic remedies for newborns, and I’m really confused about what it means. My mother-in-law keeps mentioning gandmool in the context of certain rituals and remedies for my two-month-old baby, but I don’t know if it’s related to astrology or actual health issues. From what little I’ve understood, gandmool might refer to specific nakshatras (birth stars) or some kind of dosha that affects a baby’s health or wellbeing. Is this correct? Does gandmool have any real connection to the baby’s health, or is it more about traditional beliefs? My baby has been a little fussy lately, and my mother-in-law insists it’s because of gandmool, but I want to be sure before doing anything. If gandmool does affect health, what kind of remedies or rituals are usually performed? Are there any Ayurvedic treatments or oils recommended for calming babies? And if it’s just a superstition, how do I explain this to my family without causing tension? Has anyone here dealt with gandmool or performed any related remedies? Was it helpful, or did you feel it was unnecessary? I’d really appreciate any insights to better understand this.


Gandmool is a concept in traditional astrology and Ayurveda that relates to the position of a baby’s birth star (nakshatra) and is believed to influence the child’s health and well-being. Some people believe that babies born under certain nakshatras (especially Gandmool nakshatras) may experience certain challenges, like fussiness or discomfort, which are thought to be related to the alignment of the stars at the time of their birth. While this is a belief rooted in astrology and traditional practices, there isn't solid scientific evidence linking Gandmool directly to specific health issues. In Ayurveda, health concerns like fussiness in babies are typically approached by balancing doshas (such as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), not specifically through the concept of Gandmool. If you're considering Ayurvedic remedies for calming your baby, some gentle practices include massaging the baby with warm oils like coconut oil or mustard oil (for Vata calming), ensuring the baby is in a comfortable, warm environment, and using soothing herbal teas (under guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner). The fussiness could also be due to digestive discomfort, so ensuring the baby is feeding well and avoiding overstimulation is important. If you feel that the belief in Gandmool is causing unnecessary stress or tension, it might help to explain that Ayurveda looks at individual health holistically, focusing on the baby’s diet, sleep, and overall care, rather than focusing on astrology alone. However, you could also be respectful of your family’s beliefs while gently encouraging more evidence-based health practices.

Krimi Rog

Recently, my 7-year-old daughter started complaining about stomach pain, loss of appetite, and itching around her nose, especially at night. When I looked into it, I read about krimi rog and how it’s caused by worms or parasites in the body. Could this be what she’s dealing with? Krimi rog symptoms seem to match what she’s going through, but I’m not sure what the best treatment would be. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies for krimi rog that are safe for kids? I’ve read about herbs like vidanga and neem being helpful for krimi rog, but I don’t know the proper way to use them. If anyone here has treated krimi rog in children, please share your experience. How long does it take for symptoms to go away after starting treatment? Should I also make changes to her diet or hygiene to prevent krimi rog from coming back?


It sounds like your daughter might be experiencing symptoms that are commonly associated with krimi rog, or parasitic infestations, as described in Ayurveda. The complaints of stomach pain, loss of appetite, and itching around the nose, especially at night, are typical signs of worm infections. Ayurveda offers several safe and effective remedies for treating krimi rog in children, including herbs like vidanga (Embelia ribes), neem (Azadirachta indica), and trikatu (a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger), which are known for their anti-parasitic properties. These herbs can help expel worms and improve digestion. However, it's important to use the correct dosage and formulations suitable for children. For a child, you can look for child-friendly preparations or dilute the adult doses accordingly. A common Ayurvedic remedy is to use neem juice, but it should be done in moderation. In addition to herbal treatments, dietary changes can support her recovery—avoiding sugary, heavy, or processed foods while emphasizing light, easily digestible foods like khichdi (rice and lentil porridge) can be helpful. Maintaining good hygiene, like ensuring regular handwashing and keeping her nails clean, can also help prevent reinfection. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor the treatment to her specific needs and monitor progress. In most cases, improvement can be seen within a few weeks, but it's essential to follow through with the entire course of treatment to ensure that the parasites are fully expelled and to prevent recurrence.

Is Giloy Safe for Kids? How to Use It for Immunity?

78 days ago
1 answers

I have heard a lot about Giloy (Guduchi) and its amazing benefits for boosting immunity and preventing infections. But I want to know—is Giloy safe for kids, and how should it be given to them? One of the main reasons I am interested in Giloy for kids is because it is said to be a natural immunity booster. Some sources say that Giloy juice helps in preventing frequent colds, coughs, and seasonal flu. But is it safe for children, and what is the right dosage? I also read that Giloy is beneficial for fever and is used in Dengue, Chikungunya, and viral infections. Some parents give Giloy Kadha or Giloy juice to their children when they have a fever. But should it be given in small doses, and how often can it be taken? Another thing I want to know is whether Giloy helps in digestion and gut health for kids. Since children often suffer from indigestion and loss of appetite, does giving Giloy in syrup or tablet form help in improving digestion? I also read that Giloy is good for skin health and can help in treating rashes, allergies, and mild skin infections. Has anyone tried using Giloy juice or paste for skin conditions in children? Lastly, are there any side effects of giving Giloy to kids? Some people say that it is very strong and should be taken in moderation. What is the recommended age for giving Giloy syrup or juice to kids, and are there any specific precautions? If anyone has experience using Giloy for kids, please share your insights! I’d love to know the best ways to use it safely for immunity and overall health.


Giloy (Guduchi) is a popular immune-boosting herb that can be safely used for children when given in the correct dosage. It is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, making it effective in preventing frequent colds, coughs, and seasonal infections. For kids, Giloy is typically given in small doses—1-2 teaspoons of Giloy juice or half a tablet (depending on the age) once or twice a day. Always consult a pediatrician before introducing it to ensure the proper dosage for your child’s age and health condition. Giloy is also highly regarded for treating fever and is often used in conditions like Dengue, Chikungunya, and viral fevers. It can be given in the form of Giloy Kadha or juice to help reduce fever and strengthen immunity. In these cases, it’s best to give it in moderation, taking care not to overuse it. A few teaspoons a day is generally recommended for children with a fever, but it’s important to monitor their response and avoid prolonged use without professional guidance. In addition to immune support, Giloy also aids digestion and can help improve appetite in children. It can be given in syrup or tablet form to ease indigestion or loss of appetite, common issues among kids. Some parents also apply Giloy paste for skin conditions like rashes and allergies, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. While Giloy is generally safe, it should be used in moderation, especially for younger children, as it can be quite potent. It’s advisable to avoid giving Giloy to children under the age of 2-3 years without a doctor’s approval, and always ensure it’s given in the right amounts.
