Precocious (Early) Puberty
As a medical term, precocious puberty describes puberty occurring at an unusually early age. In most of these children, the process is normal in every respect except at an unusually early age. (More medical details about hormones)
Early puberty in girls less than 10 years is increasing due to sex hormonal reasons. Various factors that trigger the increased sex hormones include high fat and protein foods, very little exercise, and stress.
Environmental toxins: Plastic and other chemicals in household materials, clothes, and in the environment-
The substances of most concern currently are BPA and phthalates. BPA is one of the highest volume chemicals produced in the world. It is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, such as rigid cups, water bottles, and food storage containers; BPA is also found in the linings of food cans and dental sealants. BPA can leach from containers into food and beverages, especially during heating and washing.[4] BPA exposure is associated with early puberty in girls.[22]
Phthalates are chemicals used to make PVC plastics more flexible and are found in a variety of products including toys, food packaging, hoses, raincoats, shower curtains, vinyl flooring, wall coverings, lubricants, adhesives, detergents, nail polish, hair spray, and shampoo. Phthalates are associated with early breast development in girls.[22, 23] They are considered chemicals of concern to the EPA and may be phased out — some phthalates have already been removed from children’s toys and cosmetics. [24]
Additional EDCs associated with dysregulation of pubertal timing include industrial chemicals such as PCBs, pesticides such as DDT and endosulfan, the flame retardant PBB, and dioxins and furans are formed during incineration of waste, chlorine bleaching of paper, and chemical manufacturing.
Pancha Bhoota method is simply rational and economical.
Children cannot be asked to eat less when they are growing.
1. Instead give them fiber-rich foods. This will also eliminate toxins from the liver and body.
Fiber
Several recent epidemiologic studies have found that people with higher-fiber diets have less insulin resistance.
In 2003, researchers at the University of South Carolina found that the more whole grain (dark bread, high-fiber, and cooked cereals) consumption, the better their insulin sensitivity was.
Fiber slows the absorption of sugars from the gut, preventing a large insulin surge after your meal (reactor rods work similarly in a nuclear power plant to slow the nuclear reaction). (From fertility foods by Jeremy Groll).
Fiber-rich foods help from developing later poly cyst in ovaries. Click here to read more about fiber-rich foods.

Once a day take Amaranth.
You can soak half a teacup of amaranth seeds and grind the next day with the same water. You could add slightly brown sugar and make it like a halwa (porridge). Or you can eat in form of idli. Or you can add pepper or chili and salt and make as a hot recipe and eat once a day. This is very good to prevent bleeding. Check Sakthi kitchen for recipes.
Banana flower is one of the most effective Indian home remedies in the treatment of menorrhagia or excessive menstruation. Remove the thin skin and take the inner flower, but remove the thin spine in each flower. it is hard to chew. Steam the cleaned flowers and mix with yogurt and spices and eat. It can also be lightly sauteed in oil and spiced. This will increase the quantity of progesterone and reduce the bleeding.
Banana stem is also good.
Triphala powder: Add one teaspoon of the powder in half a glass of water and leave for 10 minutes and drink it before going to bed. This removes toxins and balances hormones.
Castor Oil cleansing: Once a month. Castor oil cleansing also balances hormones in the body and prevents pimples in teenagers.
2. Use organic milk and then boil it: Do not give them milk from cows that are given hormonal injections to boosts milk production in milk. Another irrational approach is to give children milk that is not boiled. People confuse pasteurization and deactivation of hormones.
3. Allow them to do Yoga at a very young age.
4. Give them foods that are less estrogenic like amaranth and banana flower. These foods were traditionally used in Indian cooking.
5. Hormone-injected chicken also is a cause.
6. Junk foods in packeted processed foods with many additives, synthetic colors, stabilizers all end up messing with female hormones.
Effective Pancha bhoota healing
These are the recommendations.
1. Do water therapy with flavors every day to reduce weight and remove toxins.
2. Do every day Pancha bhoota Walking (Breath conscious walking). Read the Fire therapy page and over-weight for more information.
3. Do Surya Namaskar every day. When you do it be aware of the breathing and while you do the bending exercises be aware of the uterus and feel a healthy uterus. This exercise gives tremendous results.
Air therapy: Taking a long breath and relaxes now and then reduces stress in the body. Doing Pranayama 5 minutes morning and evening is also good. Feel your testicles get good oxygen circulation.

Ear infections
Click here to read in Tamil .Click here to take it as a brochure .
Oiling ears was considered healthy in Ayurveda. With development of modern medicine without un holistic thinking doctors warned common public that oiling of ears was unhealthy. In our experience we have seen children born in USA especially prone to less ear infections who were not given oiling to ears. But those children whose ears were oiled right after from birth, had not even once attack of ear infections. Oiling and massaging the new born infant before bath is a very healthy practice.
For those who are skeptic of this information and trust only research news can Click here to readabout a study showing that oil prevent infectious bacteria to dodge on the skin surfaces. This indirectly proves the importance of oiling the ears with good quality oil.
Method: Adding a few drops of unrefined coconut oil or sesame oil to ears often (at-least once a week) is very good for healthy ears of the kid. This will prevent ear infections and keep the ear healthy and will prevent future ear and hearing problems. This cleans the dirt and prevents ear infections. But remember to add only clean oil and spoon to add into ears Alternatively , the oil can be boiled for a few minutes and after it is cooled, store in a bottle and use within a few months.
Those who avoided this in the infant stage and get frequent ear infections can follow these tips.
Gingered oil: Take a piece of well dried ginger. Pierce with a needle and immerse the ginger in coconut oil. Then allow the ginger piece to catch fire (use a candle or lamp). Then hold the ginger over a clean small vessel or a big tablespoon. Drop drops of coconut oil over the burning ginger drop by drop. Then burned oil drops down on the table spoon. After the oil is cool, add these drops of oil into the ear. To my knowledge any type of ear infections goes with this. Use clear oil, don't drop any particles into the ear.
Another remedy: Turmeric powder 1 gms, 1 garlic pod and 5 table spoons of coconut oil or neem oil or sesame oil. Boil well and filter and store in a clean bottle. Every time add one or three drops of the oil for smelling and painful ear infections. Drop only the clear oil and not the dust into the ears.
If there is severe inflammation and swelling on the side of ears, drink fresh pineapple juice with less or no sugar. Before drinking eat one teaspoon of turmeric powder and drink for 41 days. All swellings goes away in the body.
Do Kaali Exercise 10 minutes morning afternoon and evening. Stop if the pain increases.

Infant Allergies
Click here to read in Tamil .Click here to have it as a brochure .
What is Ezcema and allergy?
Recent advance in medical science research show clear evidence for the cause of allergy or Ezcema. Earlier it was defined as Atopic dermatitis which is due to a hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) in the skin, which leads to long-term swelling and redness (inflammation) of the skin. People with atopic dermititis may lack certain proteins in the skin, which leads to greater sensitivity.
Some scientific studies shows that intestinal exposure to "diet" in early days of childhood is one of the prime cause for developing allergies to various dietary and environmental allergens.
Our understanding and treatment logic: We have helped several children to completely cure this problem. Earlier age the ebtter the response. see testimonails of cured people.
For several decades of our research we found the following facts.
1. Children born in C-section deliveries have more tendency to develop skin rashes. Interestingly the tendency is lesser in countries like India.This is because in normal delivery, when the child passes through the vaginal canal of the mother, healthy bacteria in the vagina enter into the baby's intestines, mouth and also sticks on the skin. But the baby out that comes through C-section does not get this healthy bacteria to the gut and skin. But the exception in C-section babies born in India like coutnries, where the environment is not clean, will still enter quickly into the child's body. Whereas C-section babies born to Indian mothers in western countries do get skin allergy and food allergies because the environment is cleaner. Many Indians living in USA, UK and European countries would notice that their siblings or cousins living in India would have less frequency of having babies with eczema and allergy problems.
2. What is the reason for some children born in vaginal delivery get allergies: If the mother has unhealthy bacterias in her vagina, then a baby through the normal delivery can still end up with the same problem of allergies, because the child gets unhealthy bacteria into the gut. The role of unhealthy bacteria in Gut is reported in the most prestigious Science magazine ( Science vol 334, 7 October 2011, page 45-46), a study revealed that long term effect of diet will change the gut bacteria and will improve the immunity of the childran and also allergies. It says " The trillions of symbionts in the large intestine profoundly affect our metabolism and immunity. Accordingly, abnormal bacterial communities have been indentified in several human diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.
Connection with Gut bacteria and Eczema:
We think
Lactobacillus acidophilus (informally known as Doderlein's bacillus) colonizes the vagina during child-bearing years. As a lactic acid bacterium, the organism creates a low pH (acidic environment) on the tissues which prevents colonization by potentially harmful yeast and other bacteria. The microbes that normally live in associations with humans on the various surfaces of the body (called the normal flora), such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, are known to protect their hosts from infections, and otherwise promote nutrition and health.
In C-section babies, since the child's body is not exposed to micro-organisms and but only is exposed to food proteins that the mother eats and comes to the baby through baby's milk and the environmental pollens and food particles. Now the immune system thinks that these are foreign and start to attack the food or environmental proteins that the baby get exposed.
Microbes and diseases: With the successful invention of penicillin to kill micro-organisms, modern allopathic medicine made a huge impact in saving lives from bacterial infections. But when this invention went into the pharmaceutical companies and doctors, it was abused stealing the health of many people. New research in the 2010 to 201 shows that the bacteria in the human body (sepcailly in gut) is needed for health. Read this link especially Gut flora in human infants.
Our common Indian practice was to give children neem and turmeric paste every day and also do castor oil cleansing and then give butter milk. It was an ingenious way of good health. The castor oil cleansign the system, changed the microbial gut flora and neem adn turmeric killed the undesirable bacteria in intestine. The butter milk supplied good vitamins secreting bacteria after the cleansing. This is like cleaning weeds in our garden and throwing good or desirable seeds in the garden.
Due to many modern life stlye changes we have altered the human gut flora which contributes to our health. Traditional health practices indirectly took care of the micro flora in the gut.
With the increased use of anti-biotics not only as medicine but also in food and diary products will cause increase in many diseases. Anti-biotic genes are present in Genetically-modified crops (GMO) and are given to cow feeds liberally to prevent infections. All these anti-biotics then get into our human system and change the bacterial population in the gut leading to various diseases. It is believed that after the introduction of genetically modified Soybean the incidence of allergy increased. The new proteins in the GMO foods could change the gut bacteria of the mother and also the baby that could have an influence on health. It is therefore advisable to use non-GMO (organic) corn, Non-GMO (organic) soy products during and after pregnancy.
Toxins in Mother's body: On top of that if the mother's body is full of toxins then the immunity is weakened leading to poor immunity and or hyper-active abnormal immune response, the allergies. Mothers who had less nausea and vomiting had children with more incidence of allergies than mothers who had nausea and vomiting. Vomiting is a natural mechanism for the body to throw out the toxins. This is why we recommend to do cleansing to remove toxins before planning pregnancy.
Simple remedy: A traditional Indian practice is to give castor oil drops with breast milk. One drop of castor oil is mixed with one teaspoon of breast milk and given to the new born baby everyday in the first week. Two drops of castor oil is mixed with one teaspoon of breast milk and given to the new born baby everyday in the second week. Three drops of castor oil is mixed with one teaspoon of breast milk and given to the new born baby everyday in the fourth week. This is done for six weeks and then there after six drops of oil is given once a week for next two months and then the same dosage is given for once a month till age of one year.
The above is an excellent medicine to detoxify the baby and prevent from skin rashes. The mother is also given castor oil once a day, few drops with her food to prevent these health issues in the children. (This year 2008, we witnessed a baby child being given this castor oil (St.louis USA). The child was absolutely healthy without any health problems.
Oil to reduce scaly red skin: Apply Kukui oil or Organic Jojoba oil on the baby's skin to reduce scaly and redness. Applying any steroidal creams only suppresses the immune system from reacting. Instead you can apply a natural anti-histamine which can prevent allergic reactions on the skin. Make a paste of Couch grass on the areas with little coconut oil. You can also make a medicated oil by making a paste of the leaves with less water and add to heated coconut oil. Simmer it for few more minutes and then save it in a clean glass bottle. Apply this oil every alternative day with jojoba oil.
Fermented rice: For children more than three to six months, few drops of fermented rice water or rice with water can be given to give healthy microbial flora in the gut. This way they may overcome the allergy problems. Give in small doses for a while and see if the child accepts it and continue for few weeks or months. Click this link for information about Fermented Rice. However for a very young baby of three months to six month old , one should give only the fermented rice water and be careful that the child should not develop diarhoea or dysentry. The fermented rice has millions of healthy bacteria that when grows in the gut of the baby might help to prevent allergy and eczema.
