What is Ectopic Pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a type of pregnancy complication. When pregnancy implantation is not in the cavity of uterus- the usual site of pregnancy- it is termed as ectopic pregnancy. Generally, the fertilized egg gets implanted in the fallopian tube. That is why, the condition is also known as tubal pregnancy. However, pregnancy implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries, and abdomen. This is a very serious medical condition that calls for emergency treatment. If left unattended, there is always a risk of losing the life of the pregnant woman having ectopic pregnancy. However, the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are not very easy to notice. They almost resemble the symptoms of normal pregnancy. Nonetheless, one can always detect ectopic pregnancy well in time with alertness. To be able to do so, pregnant women should know the normal pregnancy symptoms as well as ectopic pregnancy symptoms so that they could make out the difference between the two.

Ayurvedic Weight Loss

How to reduce weight? This is the question asked by millions of people world over with the increasing menace of obesity. Every one seem to be targeted at weight loss- going on diet, exercising, adopting detox diets, fainting with nearly no food for days- and still regaining weight as soon as they resume their old food habits or stop exercising. Ayurvedic weight loss is a very scientific approach towards weight loss. It believes that every body has different constitution based upon three doshas- Vaata, Pitta and Kapha. Therefore, each body needs to take and avoid food items on the basis of their doshas and ayurveda body types The Kapha body type is most vulnerable of being obese. However, it does not mean that the other two body types can not become overweight.

How to Reduce Weight Naturally?

Ayurveda advocates a realistic look at your body type when trying weight loss. It does not say to punish or devoid the body of its due nourishment ( as when we spend days together by just having three glasses of vegetable juice in a day). Ayurveda teaches to know one's body then bringing all its systems in synchronization. It guides the mind's and body's ability to regulate themselves by calming the nervous system, enhancing the digestive fires, and regulating the storage of energy and fat. The main things to do when trying for weight loss include-

• Eating according to body type- foods that are complementary to your body type.
• Exercising- not only body but also the mind (that is exactly what we do when doing Yoga)
• Discipline in eating habits- right quantity of food at right time.
• Strengthening the digestive capability through food habits and exercise.
• Using herbs and home remedies for weight loss (instead of anti obesity drugs that suppress hunger)

Babies or infants have their own pattern of bowel movements depending upon their foods, activity and digestion abilities. However, if your child gets constipation, you get to know it if s/he does not have a bowel movement in 3 or more days or has hard, dry stools that are difficult to pass. Treatment for baby constipation can be done by using certain home remedies. Here is a list of such constipation remedies for providing relief to your baby.

• If your baby has just started taking solid  baby food, it might be a cause of constipation as these foods are low in fiber. Request your doctor to change the baby food brand that might help in constipation treatment of your baby.  With consultation of doctor, switch from rice cereal to barley or oat cereal, or you might add pureed fruits or vegetables to regular cereal.
• If your baby crawls, motivate her to do a few laps and if she isn't crawling, try pumping her legs gently. This will give her some exercise.
• Dehydration can be one of the causes for your baby's constipation. Increase the amount of fluid which will also keep her stools soft.
• Give 1 ounce of prune juice diluted with equal amount of water, twice a day. Alternatively, give  apple juice to your baby.
• Rub the area surrounding baby's anus with a considerably warm cloth. This helps in relaxing the muscles and allows gas and other matter to escape.

• Soak 1 tsp Psyllium Husk or Isabgol in a cup of water. Feed 1-2 spoon of this liquid in the food that you give to your baby. This can even be used as a precautionary method for avoiding constipation in babies.
