parasympathetic nerves by drugs or permanent damage to them and diabetes. Other causes of
impotence are abuse or misuse of the sexual organism over a long period and a devitalised
condition of the system in general.
However, the main problem of secondary impotence is the apprehension created by failure
which generates a good deal of anxiety for the next time round regarding the likelihood of failure.
If, in fact, intercourse is attempted again and the same failure results, then a vicious circle is
established. Anxiety of failure is established as an anticipatory reflex which in turn impairs the
capacity of the penis.
Treatment
Taking of drugs or so called "remedies" in case of impotence is not only useless but dangerous.
Diet is an important factor in these conditions. To begin with, the patient should adopt an
exclusive fresh fruit diet from five to seven days. In this regimen, he can have three meals a day,
at five hourly intervals, of fresh juicy fruits such as grapes, oranges, apples, pears, peaches,
pineapple and melon. The bowels should be cleansed daily during this period with a warm-water
enema.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a balanced diet of seeds, nuts and
grains, vegetables and fruits, with generous use of special rejuvenative foods such as whey,
soured milks, particularly made from goat s milk, millet, garlic, honey, cold-pressed vegetable
oils and brewer s yeast. The patient should avoid smoking,alcohol, tea, coffee and all processed,
canned, refined and denatured foods, especially white sugar and white flour and products made
from them.
Certain foods are considered highly beneficial in the treatment of impotence. The most important
of these is garlic. It is a natural and harmless aphrodisiac. According to Dr. Robinson, an
eminent sexologist of America ,garlic has a pronounced aphrodisiac effect. It is a tonic for loss of
sexual power from any cause and for sexual debility and impotence resulting from sexual
over-indulgence and nervous exhaustion.
Onion is another important aphrodisiac food. It stands second only to garlic. It increases libido
and strengthens the reproductory organs. The white variety of onion, is however, more useful for
this purpose.

Sexual Impotence
Carrot is also considered useful in impotence. For better results, carrot should be taken with a
half-boiled egg dipped in a tablespoonful of honey once daily for a month or two. This recipe
increases sex stamina by releasing sex hormones and strengthens the sexual plexus. It is for
this reason that carrot halwa, prepared according to Unani specifications is considered a very
effective tonic to improve sexual strength.
The lady s finger is another great tonic for improving sexual vigour. It has been mentioned in
ancient Indian literature that the persons who take five to 10 grms of root powder of this
vegetable with milk and misri daily will never lose sexual vigour.
Dried dates, known as chhuhara in the vernacular, is a highly strengthening food. Pounded and
mixed with almonds, pistachio nuts and quince seeds, it forms an effective remedy for increasing
sexual power.
Black raisins are also useful for restoration of sexual vigour. They should be boiled with milk
after washing them thoroughly in tepid water. This will make them swollen and sweet. Eating of
such raisins should be followed by the use of milk. Starting with 30 grams of raising with 200 ml.
of milk, three times daily, the quantity of raising should be gradually increased to 50 grams each
time.
A vigorous massage all over the body is highly beneficial in the treatment of impotence as it will
revive the muscular vigour which is essential for nervous energy. The nerves of the genital
organs are controlled by the pelvic region. Hence a cold hip bath for 10 minutes in the morning
or evening will be very effective.
Every effort should be made to build up the general health level to the highest degree and fresh
air and outdoor exercise are essential to the success of the treatment. Yogasanas such as
dhanurasana, sarvangasana and halasana are also highly beneficial.
The scheme of treatment outlined above will go a long way in restoring sexual vigour, but of
course the results achieved will depend upon the age and condition of the sufferer.
Longstanding cases will obviously not get such good results from the treatment as comparatively
early cases ; and younger men will naturally tend to do better than older men.
Where the trouble is of psychological origin, treatment should be just the same , but in these
cases advice from a qualified psychotherapist would be desirable. The patient also requires
gentle handling by a willing partner.

Sinusitis
NATURE CURE
Sinusitis
Sinusitis refers to an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the paranasal sinuses. If
often follows the common cold, influenza and other general infections. Germs which are usually
eliminated from body sometimes find their way into these sinuses or chambers on either side of
the nasal passage, leading to sinus trouble.
The sinuses consist of cavities or chambers contained in the bones situated in the head and
face region. The frontal ,maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are the paranasal sinuses
which communicate with the nose. The frontal sinuses lie on the frontal bone directly above the
eyes. The maxillary sinuses are located one on each side of the nose under the cheekbone. The
ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are situated behind the nose or either sideof it. These air sinuses
lighten the weight of the skull and give resonance to the voice.
Symptoms
Th symptoms of sinusitis are excessive or constant sneezing, a running nose, blockage of one
or both nostrils, headaches and pressure around the head, eyes and face. Sinus headaches are
usually felt in the forehead and in the face just below the eyes. The patient may suffer from a low
grade fever, lack of appetite, loss of sense of appetite, and toothache. He feels miserable
because of difficulty in breathing. The voice is also affected because of the blocked nose.
Causes
Sinusitis results from the congestion of the sinus passages due to catarrh. It is caused by
over-secretion of mucus in the membranes lining the nose, throat and head. This over-secretion
is due to irritation caused by toxins in the blood.
A faulty diet is thus the real cause of sinus trouble. When a person consumes certain types of
foods or drinks regularly, these, in due course, have a conditioning effect on the entire system.
As a result,some persons become more sensitive to certain allergens, whose reaction ultimately
turns into sinusitis.
The Cure
Correcting the faulty diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of sinusitis. Patients should
