I'm not a dermatologist , what generally I understand about skin problems and other physical problems is , that many of the skin problems are due to stress. Take good care of your diet. Have lots of water, fresh fruits and salads. Avoid applying any makeup or other chemical ointments , instead apply fresh Aloe Vera pulp (if you are not allergic) . You could also try malai . This may help . As for your dandruff - control it trough natural means , it should help.

Hi, dizziness could be caused due to spondylosis, anaemia, dehydration, high or low blood pressure, or low sugar levels in blood. In your case, I assume you have ruled out bp, diabetes, and anaemia. Drink plentyful of water, (around 3 litres) specially if you are working in a heated environment and see the difference. If not better, go to your physician for further investigations. All the best.

As she is not interested in the relation you have to use willpower and forget by moving with someone else and do meditation and yoga for mind control.

Memory and mind power depends mainly on three aspects. Understanding, storage and recollection. To understand what you are studying, you must be able to be attentive or concentrate. Concentration is possible when you are interested in that subject. Creative way of learning can help you concentrate and understand easily. When you are able to understand and concentrate, it is stored within your brain. If you read more and more it will be store in long term memory. Third part is retrieval. Whenever you want to retrive what you learned and stored, your brain gets the request, searches the database and retrieves the information for you. The retrieval may prove to be difficult if you are anxious, stressed, worried or tired physically or mentally. Retrieval is more easy when you are relaxed and healthy. Brain needs nutrients to keep itself sharp. Fruits, vegetables and dry fruits provide much needed nutrients for your brain. Include at least one fruit in your daily diet.

Dear lybrate-user, welcome to lybrate. You must be able to understand concentration, attention span, recollection and distraction. If you are able to watch a movie for two hours continuously, if you are able to play a game for an hour, then you do not have any concentration problems. You can't be attentive towards your studies because you are not interested in it. You are able to watch movie and play game because you are interested in it. Human cannot be attentive towards anything for more than 10 minutes. If the task is boring, it is natural that that person will sleep or feel sleepy. Then you should study in such a way that your attention is continued and make the subjects are interesting to you. Effective learning techniques should help you. Recollection depends on anxiety, stress and other physical and circumstantial factors. Distractions while studying are plentiful. You should be able to overcome distractions or avoid distractions. Please understand the above. Change your study style and attitude accordingly. Take care.

Dear lybrate-user, don't worry. Congratulations on quitting. You did a great thing. Your body has started its repair process immediately on your quitting smoking.

On an average it will take around one year to completely clear the lungs. In the meantime, do not smoke even a single cigarette. Take care.

Hello, take Kali phos 6x , 5tabs twice daily and Do meditation for half an hour daily. Try to keep yourself busy in other activities. Take care.

It sounds like you suffer from hysteria: using a wrong adaptation to solve a problem. It is fear based and therefore your search should be as to what you are afraid about and whether that fear comes from a recent event/s or a childhood event/s. Meet with a counselor and deal with your emotions. You also need to have a healthy constitution by exercising regularly, sleeping well, eating well, and staying free of stress. A stress management course will certainly be helpful. This fear is seemingly unmanageable so that it causes you to freeze or incapacitate yourself. Once you sort out the fear a lot of matters will come under proper control.

Dear bm please try looking beyond medicines--like regular walks, you have already mentioned yoga therapy--that is quite good try doing these activities.

How did you live before this girl came in your life? people come and go. How many times will you give your life up? is this what you will suggest to your friend who has gone through a breakup? how do other boys and girls cope with a breakup? learn your lessons and move on. Focus on what's important to you. Give yourself the same love and respect that you gave to your x. Soon you'll be over her and feel happier that she left you to attend to more important stuff.

Ms. Lybrate-user. If your parents are always fighting and still living together it is possible their marriage is not in danger of breaking up. Learn to ignore and concentrate on your studies. If you think the environment is getting on to you, move to a hostel or paying guest facility for your studies. That way you can space out and be more independent. Socialise with your friends more often and talk about any thing but the home matters.
