Intestinal Worms


Infestation of intestinal worms is widely prevalent during rainy season in tropical and subtropical regions. Children are more likely to suffer this condition than adults.
Symptoms
Usual symptoms include foul breath, anemia, diarrhea, dark circles under the eyes, frequent hunger, headaches, and restlessness.
If infected with roundworms, it will make way to infections such as fever, headache, irritability, lung and intestine inflammation, nausea, nervousness, weight loss and vomiting.
Cough, constipation, diarrhea, fever, weight loss and intense itchiness in the rectum is a sign of threadworm infestation. Anemia together with nutritional disorders is signs of hookworm influx.
Causes
Unhygienic lifestyle will cause the breeding of the worms. A worm egg enters the body through food and water, and continues to dwell on the intestines where they hatch and propagate.
Roundworms can be contracted when eating contaminated food, threadworms from dirty fingers, hookworms from walking barefoot on the soil, and tapeworms from eating raw flesh or foods contaminated by canines.
Some Unani  Remedies
Coconut: Take 1 tablespoon of grounded fresh coconut. Follow with a mixture of 30-60 ml castor oil and 250-375 ml lukewarm milk after 3 hours. Repeat until completely recovery.
Garlic: The use of garlic in medicine has been practice by the Babylonians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, and Indian since the ancient times. Chew 3 cloves of garlic every morning. Alternately, place a couple of inside garlic cloves inside your footwear. The garlic oil coming from these crushed cloves will be absorbed by the skin and will be carried to the blood and the intestines.
Carrot: Take a small cup of grated carrots every morning to get rid of threadworms on children.
Papaya: Papaya seeds contain caricin that is very effective in eliminating roundworms. Take 1 teaspoon of powdered papaya seeds with 1 cup of milk everyday in the morning and on an empty stomach.

Stomatitis and Unani Treatment

Oral inflammation and ulcers, known as stomatitis, may be mild and localized or severe and widespread. They are invariably painful. Stomatitis may involve swelling and redness of the oral mucosa or discrete, painful ulcers (single or multiple). Less commonly, whitish lesions form, and, rarely, the mouth appears normal (burning mouth syndrome) despite significant symptoms. Symptoms hinder eating, sometimes leading to dehydration and malnutrition. Secondary infection occasionally occurs. Some conditions are recurrent. Stomatitis may be caused by local infection, systemic disease, a physical or chemical irritant, or an allergic reaction. many cases are idiopathic. Because the normal flow of saliva protects the mucosa against many insults, xerostomia predisposes the mouth to stomatitis of any cause. The  most common specific causes overall include Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS)—also called recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) Viral infections, particularly herpes simplex an
