What are these?
Nervous diseases are more difficulty to diagnose than
diseases of the various organs of the body because the
nervous system is hidden from the eye of the physician
and it can be known only from the disturbances of the
organs governed by the affected nerves whether and of
what type the nervous diseases is. Under this head come
apoplexy, forgetfulness, hysteria, mental defectiveness,
mental illness, neurasthenia and others. The most common
nervous weakness, nervous break down or nervous
exhaustion.
Causes:
Many factors contribute to the production of nervous
diseases. Some people are born with a nervous
disposition and it is that category which generally
suffers from headaches, neuralgia, hysterical
manifestations and bizarre forms of mental activity. The
nervous system is exposed to the fast pace of modern
life, which tends to bring on many diseases like anxiety
states, digestives disturbances and exhaustion. Shocks
to both mind and body, such as the loss of a dear one,
money reverses, an unfortunate love affair and an
accident may be the starting point of many chronic
nervous complaints. Certain organic poisons like the one
produced in body by diseases like syphilis give rise to
serious nervous disorders. Chronic alcoholism may bring
on severe mental derangement. The organic disorders
manifest themselves in the shape by hysteria, anxiety
states and nervous breakdowns.
Weakness of the nervous system can give rise to diseases
like dyspepsia or palpitation, which cannot be helped by
remedies directed towards those organs. It is but
natural since it is the brain and the nervous system
enclosed in it, which controls the bodily functions. A
sudden loosening of bowels or the bladder in case of
fright is an example. Another example is of certain
persons with a strong will power who are able to fight
serious crisis brought on by diseases much better than
ordinary individuals.
Symptoms:
A person suffering from nervous weakness or debility
generally experiences a sense of nameless fear,
agitation, perplexity, confusion, worry, disappointment,
loneliness, irritability and insomnia. The physical
symptoms are constipation, dyspepsia, headaches, vague
aches and pains all over the body and feverishness. The
patient is also inclined to be a hypochondriac. The
moment he reads about or hears the symptoms of a disease
he imagines that he suffers from it. The wise physician
will keep him away from any medical literature.
The main cause of a nervous breakdown is the rat race in
which modern man engages. The lust for money and
success-which again is measured in the good things of
life, -motivates a man to overwork, both mentally and
physically. Constant worry about things being done and
to be done lead to tension and a man falls prey to his
imagination. Overstraining leads to mistakes which
erodes his self-confidence and after that the only way
is the way downhill.
Treatment:
Since a healthy mind can reside only in a healthy body,
see that the body regains its health. The paint must
live a normal, natural life. He should try to get sleep.
During the day also he should be advised to relax in a
bed for some hours. The loosening of tensions by
relaxation will help his organs to do their work
properly and he would be able to get rid of the poisons.
The next imperative for such a patient is exercise. He
should take walks and if possible take a jogging. His
foods should include bread made from wheat from which
bran has not been sieved out, fruits and boiled
vegetables. Since nervous debility shows a marked lack
of vitamin B, the deficiency should be made up by
inclusion in his diet of foods, which contain it in
larger measure. Unpolished rice, milk, cucumber,
mangoes, pears, pineapples, guava, tomatoes, raisins and
leafy vegetables should be his mainstay. He should be
asked to eat his food in a relaxed manner, chewing it
properly before ingestion.
Massages can help in reactivating the nervous system.
Hydropathic treatment is also recommended and that
merely consists in bathing his spine with a garden or
bathroom shower for a couple of minutes. The water
should be cold. During summer cold showering of the
spine could be done three times or more and in winter
twice would do.
The patient must be told to exercise his willpower to
get rid of the disease. He must be told that he is
getting better. Psychological impressions must be
created on his mind, which will help to understand that
his disease is not incurable. Suggestion is the best
thing in such circumstances. It has to be remembered
that certain nervous diseases like hysteria are the
result of autosuggestion and nothing else.
Persons suffering from nervous debility are always on
the look out for crutches on which they can lean or
shoulders on which they can weep. The wise physician
tries to reawaken their self-confidence and the desire
to stand on their own feet.
Exercises:
Some exercises are helpful in dealing with nervous
debility.
-
Sit on your feet with your stomach touching your knees.
Try to keep your spine straight and extend both your
arms. Now thrust your right foot forward and stand up
with a jerk. Resume your earlier position and repeat the
exercise with your left foot.
-
Stand with your right leg about a foot from your left.
Join your hands and extend the arms downward, upward and
then backward. More the arms with the hands joined in a
circular motion and inhale and exhale deeply during the
movement.
-
Lie on your back on the floor with your elbows touching
your sides. Then try to raise the body with your elbows
and heels and then resume the former position.
-
Stand like a boxer and make positions like you are
hitting somebody with your fists. Or, to put it
differently, indulge in shadow boxing for some time,
moving your feet as a boxer does.
-
Stand in the normal position and then sit down with a
jerk on your toes, with your palms touching the ground.
Suddenly jerk your legs back just as you were about to
do push-up. The exercise is akin to doing sit-ups and
push-ups simultaneously.
If this regimen is followed for some weeks, you can get
rid of any nervous disorder. It is also beneficial for
sciatica, hydrosel and dropsy.
