In monsoon Tulsi and Giloy increases immunity and save from seasonal diseases.

During the monsoon season, there is often an increase in humidity and rainfall, which creates a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This can lead to a higher incidence of waterborne and vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, cholera, and typhoid. Additionally, moisture and dampness can promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can trigger respiratory allergies and infections.

These factors can place additional stress on the immune system as it combats the pathogens and allergens present in the environment. However, it's important to note that the immune system's response depends on various factors such as overall health, nutrition, hygiene practices, and individual susceptibility to infections.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and good hygiene practices, can help support your immune system throughout the year, including during the monsoon season. It's also advisable to take necessary precautions, such as avoiding stagnant water, using mosquito repellents, maintaining cleanliness and dryness in living spaces, and following proper food and water hygiene practices, to minimize the risk of infections.

Tulsi and Giloy will save you from seasonal diseases: Tulsi (holy basil - Ocimum sanctum) and Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) are traditional herbs used in Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India. While these herbs have been traditionally associated with various health benefits, Tulsi is believed to possess antimicrobial and immune-enhancing properties. It is often used in Ayurvedic remedies for respiratory conditions, including coughs and colds. Some studies suggest that Tulsi may have potential therapeutic effects, but more research is needed to establish its effectiveness in treating specific respiratory ailments.

Similarly, Giloy is regarded as an immune booster and is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been traditionally used to improve immunity and general well-being. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy in preventing or treating dengue specifically.

It's important to remember that while these herbs may have potential health benefits, they are not a substitute for medical treatment or preventive measures recommended by healthcare professionals. If you have a cold, cough, dengue, or any other health concern, it is advisable to consult a qualified healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They can provide evidence-based guidance tailored to your specific condition.

If you have specific concerns about your immune health, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.

Efforts to prevent many life threatening diseases spreading by mosquitoes…

Increasing the immunity in mosquitoes shown a hope to prevent many diseases from the biting of mosquitoes. Scientists are trying to prevent diseases like Zika, Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya, etc. that are spreading through mosquito biting. It is observed that by giving sugar to mosquitoes, the virus will not be able to infect them and diseases will not spread. The incidence of diseases like Zika and Dengue can be reduced by developing anti-viral immunity in mosquitoes. 

In their new experiment, scientists have developed immunity against the virus that spreads these diseases in mosquitoes. Scientists from Switzerland's MRC University of Glasgow Center for Virus Research, who studied, say that after feeding sugar to female Aedes aegypti mosquito that spreads diseases, the virus is not able to spread its infection in them. In this way, they are not able to transmit the virus to humans, and the risk of diseases decreases. 

Why do mosquitoes spread diseases like dengue? Mosquitoes depend on flower nectar for their energy, but they need blood for reproduction. To get this blood, they bite humans. During this time, the virus of diseases like Zika and Dengue present in them reaches humans. Researcher Dr. Emily Pondeville observed, after eating sugar, immunity against the virus increases in mosquitoes, but the reason why this happens is still not clear. However, this can reduce the cases of mosquito-borne diseases worldwide.

How deadly are mosquitoes proving to be? According to the World Mosquito Program, 700 million people worldwide get sick every year from mosquito bites. Of these, 10 lakh people die. Cases of Zika, Yellow Fever, Chikungunya, Malaria, and Dengue are reported in the maximum number of patients. According to the European Center for Disease Control Prevention, the number of yellow fever mosquitoes has increased so much in the last 20 to 30 years that they have become among the most disease-carrying mosquitoes. 

Dengue cases increased 30 times in 50 years- According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the dengue virus infects approx. 400 million people every year and about 25 thousand people die from it. According to the WHO, dengue cases have increased by 30 times in the last 50 years. Dengue virus causes fever and body aches after infection.

?? Unknown fever : seeking attention to Public health awareness...

Most of the children were admitted to Hospital with unknown fever complaints and showed a drop in platelet count. At present, apart from viral fever dengue, diseases like scrub typhus and thrombocytopenia are spreading in the country, which hardly anyone has heard of before today. 
With the rainy season or change in weather, viral diseases start wreaking havoc across the country. Cases of coronavirus are also seen increasing once again in many cities. Apart from this, while dengue cases are increasing along with viral fever in Delhi, many districts of Uttar Pradesh have been wreaking havoc on mystery fever for the last month.

According to some reports, the children who are suffering from such unknown fever complained of joint pain, headache, dehydration, nausea, or rashes that spread to their arms and legs. Therefore, the majority of children were admitted to the hospital, and thereafter diagnosis their droplets fond drastically decreased.

What is thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia refers to a decrease in platelets. This is known as dengue, in which platelets are reduced. It is a mosquito-borne disease. The disease has spread to more than 100 countries, but 70% of cases come from Asia and more than 100 million cases are found every year. There are millions of severe dengue cases reported worldwide, which have a huge impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, and these cases are much higher than those of COVID. 

Due to poor sanitation, water logging in many places, and our inability to deal with the increasing number of mosquitoes during and after the monsoon, we face the havoc of this disease every year. Along with this, mosquito-borne diseases are also spreading in Uttar Pradesh, the most famous of which is the mosquito-borne disease “Japanese Encephalitis”, also known as Japanese Fever. It was first found in 1978 in UP. And since then the disease has taken the lives of hundreds of people. A major vaccination campaign for Japanese encephalitis was launched in 2018, and this has resulted in a reduction in deaths. But again this time there is such a mysterious disease spreading that we can not really know whether it is Japanese Encephalitis or it is Dengue.

Chikungunya- Chikungunya is also a mosquito-bite disease, which spreads very rapidly during this post-monsoon season. Whatever the disease, one thing is clear that these diseases are spreading due to poor public health systems. We get these diseases again and again and every year we have to fight them and lose the lives of our children, which is very unfortunate.

Scrub typhus - The doctor says, there are many types of viral fever, which we face every day. But in this fever, the symptoms appear like dengue but it is not dengue fever. If the fever in the child is not controlled in time, it can even lead to the death of the child. There is a fever called viral hemorrhagic. There is another disease called scrub typhus, which is difficult to detect. It also resembles dengue but has a mortality rate ranging from 1 to 50%. The cases of fever that are coming out nowadays are probably the cases of scrub typhus. It is spread by mites. This type of fever has been occurring in India for centuries. There can be many bacterial infections, which can show the symptoms of scrub typhus. 

Such cases are increasing because the children were in quarantine at home for a long time and now they are coming out of the house. Their immunity has also decreased. These fevers have nothing to do with Covid as no child has tested positive for Covid.

Stay healthy, Stay safe...
