Disease and Its Symptoms
It is estimated that 16–20 thousand people in Hungary develop deep vein thrombosis each year, and several thousand die from its complications – even though thrombosis and its dangerous complication, pulmonary embolism, could be avoided! I write here about this “insidious foe”, deep vein thrombosis. What exactly does deep vein thrombosis mean? When blood "clots" in one of your veins and a blood clot (so-called thrombus) forms, then […]
Snoring spoils many people's nights. According to one study, 40–50% of the population snores (both men and women). However, it matters how severe the snoring is – while positional snorers only snore in certain body positions and there are several clever solutions to their problem, those suffering from sleep apnea can stop getting oxygen for long seconds due to snoring, which can have [...]
Generally one of the most beautiful times in a woman’s life is when she carries a child in her heart. This period is full of new experiences and strong emotions, anticipation – but it’s undeniable that this condition often comes with health problems that should be treated as early as possible and that most expectant mothers go through. From an etymological point of view the topic can also be interesting: is someone who is “pregnant” in a “blessed state”? Pregnancy varicose veins can really make the pregnancy “pregnant”; let’s also look at how we can treat this as effectively as possible so that future mothers can experience the time before (and after) childbirth as positively as possible.
Back pain is one of the most common ailments today. More and more people suffer from it, and it is not easy to get rid of. If you have back pain, you can probably blame yourself. You sit hunched in front of a monitor for hours, then sit in traffic in your car or on the bus, and finally flop down on your couch to watch your usual evening series. You don’t move, you avoid exercise, and you may be carrying some extra weight. Don’t be surprised if your untrained, weakened back-supporting muscles can’t do their job and don’t hold your spine firmly—that’s the cause of the unpleasant back pain. You can say goodbye to back pain, but you can’t expect that from just a couple of pills.
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries, and arterial narrowing (stenosis) is the most severe consequence of atherosclerosis. Some regard atherosclerosis as part of aging, but lifestyle—and especially diet—clearly plays a major role. Therefore, with the right lifestyle the arterial narrowing may be improved. What is atherosclerosis? The arteries (arterial vessels) are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood […]
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Symptoms may flare up or subside, but they generally worsen slowly. In MS, muscle spasms, muscle stiffness (spasticity), muscle weakness, pain and incontinence can cause most of the problems. In this article I describe how electrical muscle stimulation can help manage symptoms and why regular physical activity is so important for people living with MS.
Arthritis, arthrosis, rheumatism, spinal disorders and many other musculoskeletal conditions are accompanied by almost constant pain. Patients often return to clinics repeatedly because of persistent pain. Most doctors immediately write a prescription for pain relief medication. Yet there is another option.
Arthritis – medically called arthritis – is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems today. In Hungary it is estimated to affect more than one and a half million people in some form. Joint pain not only restricts movement but also significantly reduces quality of life. If you are among those whose mornings begin with painful stiffness or who struggle to climb every flight of stairs, you know exactly what I mean.
In this comprehensive article you will learn about the causes of arthritis, conventional and alternative treatment options, and how you can manage joint pain with solutions that avoid drugs and their side effects.
If you live with eczema (atopic dermatitis) or psoriasis, you know how exhausting the daily struggle with itching, dry, flaky skin and sudden flare-ups can be. Traditional treatments – steroid creams, immunomodulators, phototherapy – often help, but they are not always sufficient and can have side effects.
More and more people seek complementary solutions that can support the skin naturally. The salt therapy (halotherapy or speleotherapy) is a method known for centuries that may have beneficial effects for certain dermatological problems. But what do scientific studies say? And what can you expect if you try it?
From one day to the next you cannot close your eye, one side of your mouth droops, and a stranger is staring back at you in the mirror. Facial nerve paralysis – medically called Bell's palsy – is a frightening experience, but in most cases it is treatable. The key is to start a comprehensive treatment as soon as possible, in which softlaser therapy and electrostimulation can play an important role.
