Swine Flu symptomes, Causes and Home Remedies to avoid Swine Flu

Swine flu, also known as the H1N1 virus, made headlines in 2009 when it was declared a pandemic. Pandemics are contagious diseases affecting people throughout the world or on multiple continents at the same time. H1N1 has already been seen in 74 countries across the globe. This viruses infect the respiratory tract of pigs and result in a barking cough, decreased appetite, nasal secretions, and listless behaviour; the virus can be transmitted to humans.

The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other strains of seasonal flu:

• Temperature over 38C/100.4F
• Unusual tiredness
• Headache
• Runny nose
• Sore throat
• Shortness of breath or cough
• Loss of appetite
• Aching muscles
• Diarrhoea
• Vomiting

Things For the people who are sick to help yourself get better and prevent the spread of the virus by doing the following:

• Don't go for work or scholl if you are sick. Need to stay at home.
• Sick people should stay at least 1 metre away from other people.
• Take rest and drink plenty of fluids.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and throw your used tissue in the garbage. If you do not have tissue available, cough or sneeze into your sleeve or hands, away from others and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
• Wash your hands with soap and water throughout the day and make sure to wash your hands with soap for at least 15 seconds. If you don't have access to soap and water, Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

There are ways to protect yourself from catching the swine flu virus:

• You should avoid close contact with people who are sick and who have symptoms of swine flu (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat).
• Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly. To ensure proper sanitization, you should wash your hands with soap for at least 15 seconds. Use alcohol-based sanitizers if hand-washing is not convenient same as above i have mention.
• Get an annual influenza immunization (flu shot). This may not protect you from swine flu, but it can prevent some strains of human influenza. This helps avoid the situation of becoming infected with both swine and human influenza at the same time.
• Practise good health habits such as getting enough sleep, eating a nutritious diet, and staying physically active.

Home Remedies for Swine Flu:

1. Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi (known as Basil in English; medicinal name Ocimum sanctum) everyday in the morning.
2. A small piece of camphor (kapoor) approximately the size of a tablet should be taken once or twice a month.
3. Those who can take garlic, must have two pods of raw garlic first thing in the morning.
4. Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).
5. Aloe vera (gwarpatha) too is a commonly available plant. Its thick and long, cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel. A teaspoon gel taken with water daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains, but also boost immunity.
6. Have citrus fruits, particularly Vitamin C rich Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice.

Be careful, Be Healthy.

Worshipping while Menstruating

Womens are considered ‘maila’ or impure during their monthly periods.They are typically encouraged not to cook or to perform puja.

There is no restriction on Lingayat women who follow the teachings of Basaveshwara,  perform pujas and chant vedas even during their periods. There is no restriction on mleccha or foreign women who chant vedas whenever they believe it is right.

Therefore this discussion mainly concerns those women who want to perform puja and chant vedas everyday.

In our olden days, women had to fetch water from wells. They had to work the chakki (can’t remember right now what’s the English word for it) to make flour. Basic lifestyle required more physical strain than today. plus, the normal furnishings in the houses used to be silk & velvet etc. And with no dry cleaners or sanitary pads, this practice made perfect sense, both from the rest point of view, as well as for the materialistic benefit.

The vedas are embodiments of the devas. When I can see Surya Deva and His rays can touch my face, why can I not chant a mantram in which he is embodied?

When Vayu Deva, enters and exits my lungs freely as prAna and apAna, why cannot I chant a mantram which embodies Vayu using my lungs and voice box?

When Varuna resides in me as 70% of my body weight and when I can drink water and sweat it out, why cannot I chant a mantra that embodies Varuna?

When Agni resides in my stomach as Vaiswanara, Jatara Agni and digests all the food I eat, why cannot I chant a mantram that embodies Agni?

Conclusion : It is my view that as long as a brahmin woman stays clean and takes adequate rest, and as long as she is not distressing herself emotionally and physically, as long as she can focus her mind on brahman and not on other people’s minds, she should be fine, performing puja visiting temples and chanting vedas. No Sin will Accrue to Her.
Out of respect for the feelings of elders at home, if you choose to stay out that is fine… because then you are practicing ahimsa. If you yourself feel unclean, and would like to stay at home away from temples, that is also fine. But be gentle with yourself. If the situation requires that you participate on some religious function and so forth, remember that no sin will accrue to you.

Best Prime Minister Of India Till 2013

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

1. Foreign Policy: Vajpayee's foreign policy successes are many. He led India to a victory over Pakistan in 1999 in Kargil and more importantly, he US began to recognize India's position against Pakistan. Relations with China also normalised.
2. Economy: The economy stabilised by the time he took over in 1999 and started an unbelievable growth trajectory. He firmly supported disinvestment, but not blind privatisation. As Manmohan Singh said at a recent rally, the economy grew at 5.6% during the Vajpayee tenure, indeed a very impressive growth rate.
3. Home Affairs: This is where the Vajpayee Government had its failures. It failed to check the VHP's protests in 2002 in order to celebrate the demolition of the Babri Masjid. He also failed to take any concrete action against Narendra Modi's Government. You may argue that he upheld democracy by allowing the people to judge - and it thus remains debatable wher you can blame him.
4. Biggest Embarassment: The Tehelka scandal rocked his ministry and the Coffin scandal involving George Fernandes portrayed his ministry as quite corrupt.
5. Biggest Advantage: He's a 10 time Lok Sabha member and has won the "Best Parliamentarian" award. I am pleased to put a distinguished parliamentarian on top of this list.

P V Narasimha Rao

The another best PM is P V Narasimha Rao, the ninth Prime Minister of India.

Known as "Chanakya" (for his ability to manipulate political decisions, bring persuasive reform and legislate ruthlessly), Rao took over the reins of a singularly unmanageable India and saved her from bankruptcy, initiated reforms to strengthen foreign policy, quelled several separatist movements in Punjab and Kashmir and instituted India's first decisive anti-terrorism legislation. Here's why:

1. The Father of Indian Economic Reform: India was on the brink of certain economic doom in 1991. Socialist policies that kept India in poverty for 45 years - including the failed "Garibi Hatao" policy of Indira Gandhi, "License Raj" driven economic planning and failure to open the Indian economy to foreign investment - ensured that India's GDP stagnated at 3.5%. PVNR appointed Manmohan Singh as finance minister, who initiated the economic liberalization of India. 

The License Raj was dismantled, foreign direct investment encouraged, import duties reduced, and India's growth rate reached 7.5% in 1992. 

All this was done via a series of carefully instigated measures, which even prevented the threat of massive layoffs of Govt workers and factory employees. Even today, Manmohan Singh testifies that he could have achieved very little without Narasimha Rao's backing.  

2. The "Look East" foreign policy: The Narasimha Rao government also initiated the Look East policy as a means to strengthen foreign policy relations with United States, but quickly shifted focus to building relationships with ASEAN countries. Today, India enjoys the benefits of economic integration and bilateral trade with nations like Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc in sectors such as Science & Technology, Health, Space Research, Agriculture, etc, thanks to the initiation of this policy.

3. Elections for Punjab: Rao inherited India during the time of deep threats of separatist movements in Punjab and Kashmir, with widespread bloodletting. Narasimha Rao turned his attention to Punjab in 1991, first. He appointed KPS Gill as head of police who helped bring the insurgency under control. His insistence that elections for Punjab be held, in March 1992 (and later on, the municipal elections in Sept 1992), despite producing a narrow electorate base, helped with the emergence of moderate politicians, including eight Akali Dal sponsored candidates for the elections.

Even though he is criticized (rightly) for the failure to act decisively during the Babri mosque's demolition, P V Narasimha Rao's contributions are what helped India re-invent herself for the 21st century. 

Today, even his own party considers his name unmentionable, and Indians often diminish his achievements, their view-points largely distorted because of the horrible massacres that followed Ayodhya, (despite Rao being exonerated by the Liberhan Commission, later) and several corruption scandals (most notably, the Harshad Mehta scandal). Rao, the unsung hero in the story of New India, died a penniless man and has been forgotten by most of India today.

• Avoid close contact -- that is, being within 6 feet -- with people who have flu-like symptoms.
• Avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. That's not easy to do, so keep those hands clean.
• If you have flu-like symptoms -- fever plus at least cough or sore throat or other flu symptoms -- stay home for seven days after symptoms begin or until you've been symptom-free for 24 hours -- whichever is longer.
• Wear a face mask (consider using an N95 respirator) if you must come into close contact with a sick person. "Close contact" means within 6 feet. Note: There is no definitive proof that a face mask prevents flu transmission. Do not rely solely on a face mask to prevent infection.

• Breastfeeding mothers with swine flu symptoms should express their breast milk, and the child should be fed by someone else.
