What’s with those annoying little white heads that just never seem to come to the surface and go away? What is that thick, white stuff that comes out when you finally get so frustrated you pick and poke and finally pop the bump? Milia can be the bane of your existence, particularly when they continue to form despite your best efforts at keeping your skin “clean”. Unfortunately, cleanliness isn’t problem. The skin’s ability to naturally exfoliate is.

Milia are deep seeded white bumps that form when skin cells become trapped rather than exfoliate naturally. The trapped cells become walled off into tiny cysts that appear like white beads below the surface of the skin. Milia can occur on the skin or even on mucous membranes such as the inner surface of the cheek or the vermillion border of the lips.

As the surface is worn away, the tiny cyst may resolve on its own. Far too often, though, intervention to remove the cyst may offer more rapid resolution.

CENTRAL SEROUS RETINOPATHY ( CSR )

By Dr Anmol Arora (Sr Homoeopathic specialist)

This condition usually occurs in patients between the ages of 30 and 50 and presents with mild blurring of vision in one eye. This is caused by a small collection of fluid beneath the macula (retina) secondary to malfunction of the tissue supporting the retina (the retinal pigment epithelium or RPE). Another common symptom is feeling that objects appear smaller in the affected eye (micropsia).

The underlying cause of the problem is an unexplained defect in the vascular layer supporting the retinal pigment epithelium (the choroicapillaris) which becomes more leaky and creates a small blister in the retinal pigment epithelium. In some patients, this is all that happens (an RPE detachment or PED), but in others, a defect in the RPE lets fluid escape under the retina and this is usually associated with clinical symptoms.

Emotion: An Introduction

What is emotion?  A feeling?  Then what is a feeling?  These terms are difficult to define and even more difficult to understand completely.  People have been attempting to understand this phenomenon for thousands of years, and will most likely debate for a thousand more.

The analysis of emotions has been ineffectual up till now since they are very difficult to identify, except for a few such as fear and anger. Many years ago I began an intense psycho-analysis (which I did on my own). It took me five years of constant awareness to finally identify the range of emotions that I usually experience. (more…)
