Tip 1. Control and channel sexual desire
with the neutral hipbath.
The quenching of unrequited sexual desire is
accomplished through the neutral hipbath.
The neutral hipbath helps to relieve all acute
and sub-acute inflammatory conditions such
as
acute catarrh of the bladder and urethra and
sub-acute inflammations in the uterus, ovaries
and tubes. It also relieves neuralgia of the
fallopian tubes or testicles, painful spasms of
the
vagina and prorates of the anus and vulva.
Besides, it is a sedative treatment for
erotomania in
both sexes.
The temperature of the water should be 32º C
to 36º C. Here too, friction to the abdomen
should
be avoided. This bath is generally taken for 20
minutes to an hour.
Tip 2. Remove morbid matter from the
surface of the skin with the hot steam
bath.

The steam bath is helpful in all forms of
chronic toxaemias. It relieves rheumatism,
gout, uric
acid problems, and obesity. It also relieves
neuralgias, chronic nephritis, infections,
tetanus
and migraine.
Steam bath is one of the most important time-
tested water treatments which induces
perspiration
in a most natural way. The patient, clad in
minimum loin cloth or underwear, is made to
sit on a
stool inside a specially designed cabinet.
Before entering the cabinet, the patient should
drink
one or two glasses of cold water and protect
the head with a cold towel. The duration of the
steam bath is generally 10 to 20 minutes or
until perspiration takes place. A cold shower
should
be taken immediately after the bath.
Very weak patients, pregnant women, cardiac
patients and those suffering from high blood
pressure should avoid this bath. If the patient
feels giddy or uneasy during the steam bath,
he

or
she should be immediately taken out and
given a glass of cold water and the face
washed with
cold water.
Tip 3: Avoid medications for
sleeplessness.
Sleeping pills are no remedy for
sleeplessness. They are habit forming and
become less
effective when taken continuously. They lower
the I.Q., dull the brain and can prove fatal if
taken
in excess or before or after alcohol. The side-
effects of sleeping pills include indigestion,
skin
rashes, lowered resistance to infection,
circulatory and respiratory problems, poor
appetite,
high
blood pressure, kidney and liver problems and
mental confusion.
To overcome the problem, one should adhere
to a regular sleeping schedule, going to bed
at a

fixed time each night and getting up at a fixed
time each morning. Early to bed and early to
rise
is a good rule. Two hours of sleep before
midnight are more beneficial than four after. It
is
sheer
folly for students, at examination times, to
keep awake until long after midnight, drinking
one
cup of tea after another, as that is only apt to
cause blackness and inability to concentrate
in
the examination hall.
Tip 4. Diet, not surgery, for kidney stones.
A majority of patients suffering from kidney
stones can be treated successfully by proper
dietary
regulations. These regulations will also
prevent a recurrence of the symptoms. Only a
few
cases
require surgery.
The patient should avoid foods which irritate
the kidneys, to control acidity or alkalinity of
the

urine and to ensure adequate intake of fluids
to prevent the urine from becoming
concentrated.
The foods considered irritants to the kidneys
are alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles,
certain vegetables like cucumbers, radishes,
tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, water-cress and
those with strong aroma such as asparagus,
onions, beans, cabbage and cauliflower,
meat,
gravies, and carbonated waters.
Tip 5. To avoid headache, avoid eyestrain.
Eyestrain is a common cause of headache. In
such cases, an eye specialist should be
consulted and proper treatment taken. Simple
eye exercises such as moving the eyes up
and
down and from side to side, palming, rotating
the head, with neck outstretched, forward and
backwards three times, then three times
clockwise and three times counter clockwise,
can
relieve eyestrain.
A surprising way to relieve eyestrain is to give
gentle massage to the neck. Bring the
shoulders

together and release. Then take a few
minutes to place a moist cool compress over
the eyes to
give them rest and recuperation.
Tip 6. Take heed of headaches. Headaches
may be a symptom of hypertension.
High blood pressure can cause pounding
headaches. The headache usually starts at
the back
of
the head on getting up in the morning. A safe
method of treatment for this is to immerse
your
legs to calf-level in a tub of hot water for 15 to
20 minutes. This draws the blood away from
the
head and down to the feet, relieving the
headache.
Also helpful is the yogic practice known as
pranayama. Stand erect with the feet aligned
straight and touching each other. Lock the
fingers together with the hands beneath the
chin
and keep them there through the entire
exercise.

Slowly raise the arms as you inhale, filling
your lungs with air. Feel the action of the
breathing
through your throat. Then raise your arms
above your head as you lean back and
exhale, all
the while keeping the hands at your chin.
When you completely exhale, feeling the
movement
of the air through your throat, lower your arms
and repeat the exercise 20 times.
Tip 7. Hydrocele, The Common But Little-
Known Condition of Men's Mature Years
Hydrocele is the painful swelling of the testes.
It can be painlessly relieved.
Tapping (removing fluid with a long needle) is
the method usually resorted to for removal of
the fluid in hydrocele. This, however, does not
remove the cause of the trouble but only its
effects. The correct way in which the condition
can be really dealt with successfully is through
constitutional treatment. Such a
treatment should aim at removing the
underlying toxicity of the system which is at
the root of
the
trouble.

The sufferer from hydrocele should begin with
an exclusive fresh fruit diet for seven to ten
days.
In this regimen, he should have three meals a
day of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears,
grapes, grape-fruit, oranges, pineapple,
peaches, melon or any other juicy fruit in
season but
no
bananas or dried, stewed or tinned fruit, and
no other foodstuff whatever. For drinks, lemon
water unsweetened or water either hot or cold
may be taken.
If constipation is habitual, all steps should be
taken for its eradication. During this period the
bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm
water enema.
Tip 8. Indigestion may be caused by how
you neat, not just what you eat.
The feelings of discomfort and distress in the
abdomen are often caused by overeating,
eating
too rapidly or not chewing properly.
Overeating or eating frequently produces a
feverish state in

the system and overtaxes the digestive
organs. It produces excessive acid and
causes the
gastric mucus membrane to become
congested. Hyperacidity is usually the result.
Overeating makes the work of stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels harder. When this food
putrefies, its poisons are absorbed back into
the blood and consequently, the whole system
is
poisoned. Many people gulp their food due to
stress or hurry. When food is swallowed in
large
chunks, the stomach has to work harder and
more hydrochloride is secreted.
Eating too fast also causes one to swallow air.
These bad habits force some of the digestive
fluids into the oesophagus, causing burning, a
stinging sensation or a sour taste, giving an
illusion of stomach acid.
Tip 9. Influenza is more than a viral
infection.
Influenza, like all other acute diseases, is a
natural attempt at self-cleansing and if rightly
treated in a natural way, immense good can
ensue so far as the future health of the patient
is

concerned. In the acute stage of influenza, a
patient should abstain from all solid foods and
only
drink fruit and vegetable juices diluted with
water, 50- 50 for first three to five days,
depending
on the severity of the disease. The juice fast
should be continued until the temperature
comes
down to normal. The warm water enema
should be taken daily during this period to
cleanse the
bowels.
After fever subsides the patient may adopt an
all-fruit diet for two or three days. In this
regimen,
the patient should take three meals a day of
fresh juicy fruits such as apples, pears,
grapes,
oranges, pineapple, peaches and melons at
five-hourly intervals. Bananas or dried, stewed
or
tinned fruits however, should not be taken. No
other food stuff should be added to the fruit
meals, otherwise the value of the treatment
will be lost. This may be followed by a further
two

or
three days on fruits and milk diet. Thereafter,
the patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of
three
basic food groups namely, (i) seeds, nuts and
grains, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits.
Spices and condiments, and pickles, which
make food more palatal and lead to
overeating,
must be avoided. Lemon juice may be used in
salad dressing. Alcohol, tobacco, strong tea
and
coffee, highly seasoned meats, over-boiled
milk, pulses, potato, rice, cheese, refined,
processed, stale, and tinned foods should all
be avoided.
Tip 10. Low blood sugar is caused by too
much sugar.
Hypoglycaemia is a condition of low blood
sugars. Ironically, it is aggravated by
consuming too
much sugar.
Hypoglycaemia is usually caused by an
excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and
sugar
foods. These substances cause the pancreas,
the adrenal gland and the liver to lose their

ability
to handle the sugar properly. Other causes of
low blood sugar are a tumour, disturbed
functioning of the liver, pituitary gland or
adrenal glands. Stress intensifies this
condition as it
weakens the adrenal glands and starts a
faulty pattern of glucose intolerance.
Tip 11. To avoid gout, avoid meat.
Gout was at one time considered the disease
of the rich, when in the West only the rich ate
meat.
The gout patient should avoid all purine and
uric acid producing foods such as all meats,
eggs,
and fish. Glandular meats are especially
harmful.
The one who has gout should also avoid all
intoxicating liquors, tea, coffee, sugar, white
flour
and its products and all canned and
processed foods. Spices and salts should be
used as little
as possible.
Tip 12. Meditate!

Meditation involves training the mind to
remain fixed on a certain external or internal
location.
All the mental faculties should be directed,
without cessation, towards the object of
meditation.
It
can be achieved by constant practice. It will
be advisable to meditate on God or Atman as
one
becomes imbued with the quality of the object
on which one meditates.
Meditation will help create an amount of
balance in the nervous system. This would
enable the
glands to return to a correct state of hormonal
balance and thereby overcome the feeling of
depression. Regularity of time, place and
practice are very important in meditation.
Regularity
of practice conditions the mind to slowing
down its activities. The most effective times
for
meditation are early dawn and dusk, when the
atmosphere is serene and peaceful.
Tip 13. No drugs cure high blood pressure.

All drugs against hypertension without
exception, are toxic and have distressing side
effects.
The safest way to cure hypertension is to
remove the real cause. The natural way of
dealing
with it is to eliminate the poisons from the
system which cause it. Persons with high
blood
pressure should always follow a well-balanced
routine of proper diet, exercise and rest.
Diet is of primary importance. Meat and eggs
cause the blood pressure to rise more
than any other food. The pressure is lowered
and blood clotting diminished by partaking of
a
higher fruit content, lower protein and non-
flesh diet. A natural diet consisting of fresh
fruits and
vegetables, instead of a traditional diet, is
helpful in getting rid of the poisons from the
body. A
hypertension patient should start the process
of healing by living on an exclusive fruit-diet
for

at least a week, and take fruits at five-hourly
intervals thrice in the day. Oranges, apples,
pears,
mangoes, guava, pineapples, raspberry,
water-melon are the best diet in such cases.
Bananas
and jack fruit should not be taken. Milk may
be taken after a week of "fruits only"' diet. The
milk
should be fresh and should be boiled only
once. The patient can be permitted cereals in
his
food after two weeks.
Tip 14. Stress causes headaches.
Intense emotions often cause headaches.
Many people who outwardly appear to have a
pleasant disposition may actually be
simmering about a job, or may bear
resentment towards a
person or something. This hidden hostility
may manifest itself as headache. It is
important,
therefore, that negative feelings should not be
bottled up, but should find some safe means
of
expressions.

How can you know your headache is due to
stress? The answer is simple. Tight neck
muscles
are a sign of stress. Pain across the forehead
is a sign of stress.
What can you do to treat stress headaches.
To relieve tension, add tension. Tighten the
muscles at the back of the neck as you count
10, and then release. If you repeat this
exercise
several times, your headache will be relieved.
Tip 15. The Surprising Causes of
Leucoderma
Many wrong beliefs are prevalent about the
causes of leucoderma. It is not caused by
eating
fish and drinking milk at the same time, as is
generally believed because even vegetarians
suffer from this disorder. Other food
combinations such as pumpkin and milk,
onion and milk as
possible causes of leucoderma also have no
basis.
Leucoderma is not caused by any germs; nor
is it due bad blood. It is neither infectious nor
contagious. It cannot be transmitted from one
person to another by physical contact.

The main causes of leucoderma are
excessive mental worry, chronic or acute
gastric disorder,
impaired hepatic function such as jaundice,
worms or other parasites in the alimentary
canal,
ailments like typhoid which affect the
gastrointestinal tract, defective perspiration
mechanism
and burn injuries. Often the hormone
secreting glands are involved in this disorder.
Heredity is
also a causative factor and about 30 per cent
of patients have a family history of the
disorder.
Tip 16. Tingling, burning, stabbing pains?
The problem could be neuritis.
The main symptoms of neuritis are tingling,
burning, and stabbing pains in the affected
nerves.
In severe cases, there may be numbness and
loss of sensation and paralysis of the nearby
muscles. Thus a temporary paralysis of the
face may result from changes in the facial
nerves
on the affected side. During the acute stage of
this condition, the patient may not be able to

close the eyes due to loss of normal tone and
strength by the muscles on the affected side
of
the face.
The chief cause of neuritis is chronic acidosis,
that is, excessive acid condition of the blood
and
other body fluids. All the body fluids should be
alkaline in their reaction, but when the acid
waste matter is continuously formed in the
tissues over a long period due to a faulty diet,
it
results in acidosis. Wrong habits of living, over
work, etc., lower the tone of nervous system
and contribute towards neuritis. This disease
can also result from a variety of nutritional
deficiencies and metabolic disturbances such
as faulty calcium metabolism, deficiencies of
vitamins B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and
B12.
Tip 17. The right fats fight the effects of the
wrong fats.
The essential fatty acids which reduce serum
cholesterol levels and minimise the risk of
arteriosclerosis can be obtained from
sunflower seed oil, corn oil or safflower oil.
Several

studies
have indicated that garlic can reduce the
cholesterol level in persons whose body
normally
cannot regulate the cholesterol fractions.
Other important cholesterol lowering foods are
alfalfa
and yoghurt. Lecithin helps prevent fatty
deposits in arteries. Best food sources are
unrefined,
raw, crude vegetable oils, seeds and grains.
Fruits and vegetables in general are highly
beneficial in the treatment of heart disease.
Seasonal fruits are quite effective heart tonics.
Apples especially contain heart stimulating
properties and the patients suffering from the
weakness of heart should make liberal use of
apples and apple jams. Fresh grapes,
pineapples, oranges, custard apples,
pomegranates and
coconut water also tone up the heart. Grapes
are effective in heart pain and palpitation of
the
heart and the disease can be rapidly
controlled if the patient adopts an exclusive
grapes diet

for few days. Grape juice, especially will be
valuable when one is actually suffering from a
heart attack.
Indian gooseberry or amla is considered an
effective home remedy for heart disease. It
tones
up the functions of all the organs of the body
and builds up health by destroying the
heterogeneous elements and renewing lost
energy.
Tip 18. To prevent baldness, eat the right
foods.
Persons with a tendency to lose hair should
thus take a well balanced and correct diet,
made
up of foods which in combination should
supply all the essential nutrients. It has been
found
that a diet which contains liberal quantities of
(i) seeds, nuts and grains,
(ii) vegetables and
(iii) fruits
would provide adequate amounts of all the
essential nutrients.
Each food group should roughly form the bulk
of one of the three principal meals. These
foods

should, however, be supplemented with
certain special foods such as milk, vegetable
oils,
honey, wheat germ, yeast and liver.
Tip 19. To cure a headache, eat something
(as long as it is not sugar).
Low blood sugar is one of the causes of
irritability and headache. Sugar is not a cure
for low
blood sugar, though it may raise the blood
sugar temporarily and make one feel better for
a
while.
Low blood sugar is the result of an abused
pancreas which over stimulates the
production
of insulin in the body. It can be controlled by
eating smaller meals at short intervals rather
than
the standard three large meals daily. The
intake of carbohydrates should be cut down to
the
minimum. Coffee should be eliminated as it
over stimulates the pancreas.
Tip 20. To fight depression, be active.
Overcome depression with activity.

The depressive mood can be overcome by
activity. Those who are depressive will forget
their
misery by doing something. They should turn
away from themselves and consider others. At
home they can take to decorating, repairing or
constructing something new. The pleasure of
achievement overcomes the distress of
depression.
