Tips to avoid viral infections

2011-10-13T02:31:00.001-07:00

Cough, runny nose and fever. Delhi's hospitals are teeming with patients complaining of these symptoms. Doctors are telling them not to panic as the viral fever comes with the season.

"Children and the elderly are more vulnerable to viral infection. The number of patients has surely increased, but there is no need to panic as antibiotics work," said Vinod Kumar Paul, head of paediatrics at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

Most patients are reporting high fever or gastrointestinal problems and monsoon related ailments.

"The reason is swift change in temperature and intermittent rains that leaves the weather humid," pointed Romel Tickoo, a senior physician at the Max Hospital.

"Viral infection is known to spread quickly among children and elderly people who are more vulnerable to the symptoms. Weak immune system makes them prone to viral infections," Tickoo told reporters.

The body's natural immunity goes down during change of season. While the body takes its own time to adjust to the sudden rise or dip in temperature, viruses attack the immune system.

It is easy to catch a viral infection in crowded places like classrooms, theatres and buses. Simple precautions can keep the infections at bay, says Paul.

"Viral takes its own time of a week. Antibiotics are mainly for symptomatic relief. So the main thrust has to be on precautions," Paul said.

Experts say that people should consult a doctor if high fever persists for more than three days.

"High fever, rashes, stomach cramps may also be symptoms of malaria or any other vector borne fever. It's best to go for doctor's advise," Tickoo said.

Some dos and dont's prescribed by doctors to avoid catching viral infection.

-Avoid eating out, especially street food/hawkers stalls

-Avoid cold beverages and ice-golas

-Boil water and cool it before drinking

-Maintain a healthy and light diet that includes fruits

-If you get an infection, stay indoors to prevent spreading it

-Do not sneeze in public

-Wash your hands regularly

-Drink plenty of fluids, 8-10 glasses of water for viral patients.

Why worship Lakshmi on Diwali?

2011-10-07T21:53:00.000-07:00

Hindus celebrate their festivals on the basis of the planetary positions of the Sun and the Moon. They are the most powerful planets which when placed favourably influence the person inconsiderably.

The Sun represents our soul and the Moon is capable of conferring great mental power.

Their auspicious presence and positioning create certain other combinations which confer favourable moments/hours to celebrate festivals.

One such esteemed festival is Diwali, the day when both Sun and Moon are placed in the same sign ie Libra, collaborating the most auspicious conjugation resulting in Amavasya, the night when the moon wanes off and total darkness sets in, calming down the frivolous mind which is totally governed by the moon. The more serene the mind becomes the more Shri Laxmi Pooja becomes intense and rewarding.

It is stated in Durgasaptshati that when the whole creation was engulfed in the shrouding darkness of Amvasaya, there emerged 18 armed Mahalxmi – the brilliant, glowing, luminous, divine light, enabling the whole evolutionary process to boom and develop.

Astrologically speaking, the planetary position plays an important role when the Diwali night falls in. The Sun and the Moon are placed in the same zodiac ie Libra, which is a zodiac for Surya – the Sun. The sign Libra belongs to Venus – planet known for bestowing wealth, riches, opulence and grandeur. The same is the case with goddess Laxmi – the deity of riches, prosperity, wealth and fortune. Such two combinations make the day auspicious to adore Laxmiji on Diwali night.

Secondly, the Sun – a panchamesh (the Lord of the fifth house) and the Moon – a chaturthesh (the Lord of the 4th house) when stationed in seventh house (whose sign Libra and the Lord is Venus) together forms an auspicious Yog called Laxmi Yog – the most opportune time for revering goddess Laxmi so that her blessings in the form of joy, prosperity, affluence, fertility, beauty, and enlightenment continuously be showered upon the devotees.
