According to Health Authorities nearly 300 million cases of scabies are diagnosed every year. Scabies is a highly contagious infection spread by the sarcoptes scabiei mite and can be easily transmitted through skin contact. As the mite enters the skin to form burrows and lay eggs; the body’s immune system becomes highly compromised. Symptoms usually start appearing one month after the infection and if left untreated can progress to severe infestations leading to ghastly complications.

Scabies Symptoms

A person suffering from scabies has the following manifestations:

• Itching that aggravates mainly at night
• Little bumps may develop that look like hives
• Scratching causes sores
• Crusts may form on your skin due to constant itching

Conventional treatment for scabies generally involves killing the mites with toxic chemicals such as Permethrin and Benzene. However, their effects are limited to only killing the mites present on the surface of your skin. They are ineffective in eliminating the eggs or reaching to the nits burrowed deep into your skin. So, you need to repeat the treatment for several cycles till all the eggs are hatched. Of course, this is not a permanent cure since you inadvertently will face a relapse even if a single bug escapes the treatment. Moreover, both permethrin and benzene are associated with a host of side effects since the toxic chemicals are carcinogenic and cannot be given for a longer time.

Every single ingredient in every Biogetica product has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural supplements and complementary therapies. We, therefore, prefer not to make any claims. Instead, we point all Patients and Doctors to independent research and clinical studies that support their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines, in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.

In order to present this information in an unbiased and up to date manner, we simply show you Google Scholar search results of all scientific articles available on a certain product or an ingredient. If you do so much as read the synopsis of the research, the choice becomes clear. You can read and compare the results of drug studies and the results of studies on which Biogetica relies. We support you in your right to know and choose drugs or natural alternatives!

Research on Neutraceutical Ingredients

• Sulphur: This is a common homeopathic remedy traditionally recommended for itchy skin infections owing to its proposed germicidal and disinfectant properties. A clinical evaluation noted that 95% of the scabies patients enrolled in the study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and acceptability of precipitated sulphur petrolatum reported being clinically free of the infection 7- 30 days after stopping the protocol with no relapses or relevant adverse effects. Additionally, it was noted that sulphur was safe even for children less than 5 years of age, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.¹

Research on Herbs

• Azadirachta indica (Neem): This plant is perhaps most widely employed in ayurveda, unani, and homoeopathic medicine for its versatile properties that include a wide spectrum of biological activities. Numerous clinical studies with the dried neem leaf extract have highlighted its potential effectiveness to cure ringworm, eczema and scabies. It has been observed that a topical application of the neem leaf can potentially cure these dermatological diseases within 3–4 days in the acute stage or a fortnight in chronic cases.²
• Curcuma longa (Turmeric): This herb is a renowned ayurvedic remedy traditionally recommended for its immune boosting, anti-proliferative, antimicrobial, insecticidal, and anti-inflammatory properties. A pilot study on 814 scabies patients treated with a combination of neem and turmeric reported that 97% of the participants were completely free of the scabies mites after applying the blend for a period of 3-15 days. Additionally, none of them reported toxic or adverse effects.³
• Eucalyptus globules (camphor oil): This oil is traditionally used as a popular decongestant, rubefacient, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory agent. A human clinical study reported that camphor oil in concentrations of 100%, 75% and 50% apparently cured scabies within 5-10 days.⁴
• Tea tree oil: In vitro results have indicated that Tea tree oil (TTO) has demonstrated promising acaricidal effects against the scabies mites and has shown potential value as an adjuvant topical medication for the treatment of crusted scabies. The cumulative acaricidal, antibacterial, antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties of tea tree oil is considered to have the possibility of successfully reducing the burden of a scabies infection and the associated bacterial complications. Moreover, the results obtained are encouraging, especially for cases that don’t respond to standard treatments and the rapid emergence of acaricide resistance to oral ivermectin and topical permethrin.⁵
• Sarco asoca (Ashoka): This herb is considered to possess astringent, cooling, microbial inhibiting, circulation enhancing, detoxifying, and tonic properties in ayurvedic literature. Evidence has shown that it potentially relieves skin conditions such as pruritis, scabies and tinea pedis.⁶
• Eugenia caryophyllata (Clove): The oil extracted from this herb is considered effective in killing parasites, improving blood circulation, boosting energy, and soothing inflammation in traditional forms of medicine. Clinical tests done on the extract indicated that clove oil was highly toxic against the scabies mites and its acaricidal properties may potentially help develop alternative topical acaricides to treat scabies.⁷

Prana' stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. 'Pranayama' is the process that helps us control 'Prana', and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

1.Tandem Breathing ('Sahita Kumbhaka') 

It has 2 types, based on whether or not there is any concomitant chanting of Mantras with the Pranayama exercise.

Significance:

It's a daily and constant process, which we seldom appreciate.

It encourages concentration with closed eyes while we inhale and exhale.

2. Awakening breath ('Surya Bheda')

Steps:

1. Upright position in a comfortable asana like Padma-asana / Swastika asana / Siddhasana. Concentrate with eyes closed.

2. Rest the right thumb on the right nostril (Avoid applying any pressure or blocking the nostril). At the same time, rest the right index finger on the space between 2 eyebrows and close the left nostril with the right ring and little finger.

4. With the thumb applied to the right nostril, retain the breath firmly pressing the chin against the chest. There is no specific limit to this and it can be pursued till there is discomfort.

5. Slow and silent exhalation through the left nostril. It is followed by a short gap wherein inhalation is avoided. This same procedure is to be repeated again.

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.

So please, let it happen.
