can we use banslochan for hair fall or for grey hair ?
 
Herbpathy Research Team
17 Jul 2015
Dear Prabha Ghosh
Its not Spiny bamboo we recommend for Hair fall and Gray Hair, you should go for Bamboo extract. These two are entirely different Herbs.

Bamboo is one of the richest sources of Silica. And, Silica is the primary mineral which takes care of our Hair, Skin and Nails. Lack of Silica leads to hair fall, thinning of Hair and even results in Baldness. Bamboo extract comes from leaves and stalks of this grass.
Bamboo extract contains 70% of Organic Silica, which promotes healthy, lustrous and thick Hair.
Other Herbs rich in Silica are
Red Beets
Asparagus
Corn
Onion
Lettuce
Cabbage
Strawberry
Sunflower Seeds

Castor oil and Almond oil acts as a magic for Hair Growth.

For more information on Gray Hair, please look for Herbs and their combinations in disease section on this very website.
Write Gray Hair in Disease section and feel free to try any of the Herbal methods to cure.

I want to know more about vanschlochan, I am addicted to eat that. It looks like Alum, its crispy. Please advise on it. Is it dangerous?
 
Lillian
25 Sep 2015
That is something really weird. Medicine is supposed to be taken for a specific duration. HAhahah... You found it crispy, so you are eating it. Will you like to tell that for how long have you been taking it. Because addiction of anything is really bad.

You gotta use some brains. Obviously if you are takin something for so long, it will start to show its adverse effects.

Choice is yours. just came across the website, since I spend quite sometime on the website looking for more and more info. And saw your review. Could not resist myself from writing.
Good Day !!!

do not give herb to your child anymore, instead you can give him herbs like, Basil, ginger and Garlic, that in the smallest dose possible. If some one has recommended vanslochan then only give it to him for a period of one to 2 months, not more than that, other wise he will be addicted to it.

It is advised that you stop the intake of Vanslochan now and take one dose of Calcarea Carb 10m.
This is a homeopathic medicine. You just need to take it once.
DO NOT REPEAT the dose at all/ One dose means- 4 small pellets. DO NOT REPEAT ---- TAKE ONLY ONCE.
\COnsult your health care provider before trying any medicine.

Nidhi..
Please take one dose of Calcarea Carb 200. Since you are pregnant, the dose needs to be divided into three. Take one dose ( 4 pellets ) . Add it to a cup of water. Stir well. Take one-third of this water on the first day, remaining one-third on the second day and rest on the third day. This is how you are supposed to take the medicine. Do not repeat the dosage at all. Only one dose.

Pal. Please mention that did you buy this from a homeopathic store ? Or did you buy it from a herbal store ?
What does the packing of the container say ? Is it a small plastic bottle ( equal to the size of your finger ) ? I think you have bought the homeopathic form of the remedy.

I have been having vabshlochan since 1 yr nd now it effect in my weight . I have loosed 10 kg weight n problems in periods . But i'm addicted to it .
Is it good for me ??
 
Jayant Mahant ( India )
03 Apr 2017
Prachi. Please Stop the intake of this herb anymore,. This will further lead to weight loss.
This addiction might be due to some deficiencies. Even I was addicted to it. All I did was, a lot of self control and food rich in Calcium and proteins.
So, you may try that.
I do not thi9nk there is any medicine that can help to get over this. The only way out is YOU. You are the on who can help yourself. Be very determined abut not taking this herb any more. Whenever you crave for it, try for other favorites and eat them. Because, now you know if you keep on taking this herb, it will make you very feeble.
It may even cause other problems like, Blurred Vision, Gas, Drowsiness and Abdominal Pain.

What are it's side effects?My. Mother is using vanslochan because while stepping on stairs her joints pain and she's a kidney patient too,so is it safe for eating or does it contains any type of side effects?
 
Roopal Luthra ( India )

Instead of having Vanshlochan, your mother should have these two herbs-- Hadjod ( Winged Treebine ) and Babool ( Acacia Nilotica ) Have one capsule of Hadjod everyday for a month.
Babool fruit pods can be taken with warm water for 20 days. It will relieve her of the joint pains. Also, Boswellia herb can be taken later in the form of tea or capsules.
Will you please share what is wrong with her Kidneys, I think you can get some help here.

Do not interfere with his regular or normal body development. The diet of a 2 year is not that much. He will gradually gain weight. This is not a disease.

Dear Segun
For Anemia, Take soaked Raisins, Indian Gooseberry, Dates.
For Diabetes, Gurmar is the best herb. It's homeopathic tincture is available as Gymnema Sylvestre. Take 5 drops in a glass of water twice a day. Consult with your Health care practitioner first if you are already taking medication.
For Breast Cancer, take the following:
- Take Fagonia Cretica Tea twice a day.
- Take Soursop as fruit, juice or tea. For Tea, chop some fresh stems and leaves of Soursop. Boil them in 1 liter water until water is reducedto half. Strain. Drink 100 ml twice a day. You may add Honey.
-Consume Turmeric daily. Half/quarter teaspoon with a pinch of black pepper.
- Wheatgrass juice. Take 30ml juice early in the morning.
- Carrot juice. Take 2-3 glasses daily.
Follow this regimen strictly for Cancer for 2-3 months.
