Blood pressure is a measure of the force applied to the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body.

Blood pressure continually changes depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, physical state, and medication.

Hypertension refers to arterial pressure being abnormally high, as opposed to Hypotension, when it is abnormally low.

High blood pressure (Hypertension) increases the risk of heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.

Low blood pressure (Hypotension) may be a sign of a variety of illnesses, including heart failure, infection, gland disorders, and dehydration

Diabetes is a chronic life-long disease in which the body cannot properly convert food into energy. Most food that a person eats is eventually broken down into blood glucose (also called blood sugar), which cells need for energy and growth. Insulin (produced by the pancreas), is a hormone that helps glucose to enter cells. In people with diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin, or it does not respond to insulin properly. This causes glucose to build up in the blood instead of moving into the cells.

There are three major types of diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood. The body makes little or no insulin, and daily injections of insulin are required to sustain life. Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1 and makes up 90% or more of all cases of diabetes. It usually occurs in adulthood. Here, the pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to insulin. Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, although it is a serious condition. Type 3 diabetes is becoming more common due to food habits, stress, increasing obesity, and failure to exercise. Gestational diabetes is high blood glucose that develops at any time during pregnancy in a person who does not have diabetes.

We all produce gas in our intestines, especially our colons, or, at least, our intestinal bacteria produce it, from undigested food. We are fortunate because the overwhelming majority of the gas that is formed by the bacteria is used up by other bacteria in the intestine. A small amount of intestinal gas is absorbed into the blood from the intestine and is eliminated in the breath. The gas is also eliminated by burping or passing it through the rectum.

However, many people think they have too much gas when they really have normal amounts. Most people produce about 1 to 3 pints a day and pass gas about 14 times a day.

Gas is made primarily of odorless vapors--carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes methane. The unpleasant odor of gas comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur. Although having gas is common, it can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Understanding causes, ways to reduce symptoms and treatment will help most people find relief.

Piles/Hemorrhoids are swellings on the inside of the anal canal, the short, muscular tube that connects the rectum (back passage) with the anus, in areas known as the anal cushions. They are round swellings that can reach the size of a grape. Piles are not varicose veins. Although piles develop from inside the anal canal, they can hang down out of their normal place. They are very common in adults.

Piles can be classified into

INTERNAL PILES

First degree piles Swellings on the inside lining of the anal canal. They bleed but can't be seen from outside the anus. Second degree piles Larger and stick out (or prolapse) from the anus when you open your bowels, but return on their own afterwards. Third degree piles Similar to the above but hang out from the anus and only return when pushed back in. Fourth degree piles Permanently hang down from the anus and can't be pushed back inside. They may become extremely swollen and painful if the blood in them clots.

EXTERNAL PILES
Swellings that develop from below the anal cushions are sometimes called external piles. They can be more painful than the other types of piles. Other cases of lumps around the anus can include a "sentinel pile", which is the painless skin tag that develops when a crack in the anus (an anal fissure) heals up. Also, a collection of blood under the skin, called a peri-anal haematoma, may also be referred to as a type of external piles.

The treatment for these conditions is different from true piles.

INGREDIENTS
A combination of some unique herbs such as Arittamanjarie, Doorva, Medhika which have laxative power and checks bleeding.

SYMPTOMS
Common symptoms of piles are bright red blood from the anus, which may be noticed on the toilet paper when wiping, or in the toilet bowl, a lump on the anus, pain and discomfort after opening the bowels, a slimy discharge of mucus which may cause itching, a feeling that the bowels have not emptied completely, soiling underwear (third or fourth degree piles).

Bright red blood from the anus is most likely to come from piles, rather than anything more serious.

However, if unsure whether the bleeding is due to piles, visit your GP for advice.
