She will be throwing light on the subject in a detailed manner. What exactly is a prescription? What is the significance of a prescription? What are the good prescriptions and what are the bad prescriptions? And, how Dr. Monga’s Clinic go about it?

Questions and Answers:

Q. What exactly is a prescription?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Prescription is a very common word used when we visit a doctor. So, if we would summarise it, prescription is a gist of conversation between the patient and the doctor. So, it contains all the signs and symptoms that the patient has. So it is a summary of the problems that the patient has given to the doctor and the medicines that have been prescribed by the doctor. So, it contains or rather connects all the four people, i.e., the patient, doctor, the attendant looking after the patient and the chemist also. 

Q. What is the significance of prescription? Why is it so important?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Basically, a written prescription gives a clarity to the patient that all health issues he is going through and what all instructions have been given to him and what all dos and don’ts he has to follow. In addition, what all medications he needs to take at what timings. Basically it is a synopsis that what all a patient has to follow according to the doctor in each and every manner to recover at the fastest. So basically, it establishes a bond of trust between the doctor and the patient. 

Q. Can you differentiate between a good prescription and a bad prescription?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Yes obviously. There is a lot of difference between a good prescription and a bad prescription. You see so many prescriptions of doctors. First I would suggest every doctor to write the prescription in a readable handwriting. This is a complaint by the patients that they cannot read the prescription properly. I know that the doctors develop the habit of writing it in a flow and that is not easily understood by the patient. First of all, it should be clearly written and a good prescription should contain each and every minute detail about what all medicine has to be given and at what time it has to be taken in addition to the dos and don’ts that have to be followed properly. The lifestyle modifications that the patient has to make and refrain from promoting any OTC products are part of a good prescription. A good prescription is one in which we write the generic name of the medicines. Supposedly, a patient is having fever and supposedly we are giving Crocin that is so readily available. So, it is better to write Paracetamol, i.e., the name of the salt so that the patient can take it from anyone. 

So, this kind of prescription which follows each and every minor detail and tells the patient to follow each and everything properly is a good prescription. 

Anchor: Thank you Doctor for throwing light on this untouched topic because not many doctors practice the right prescription because many of them are quacks or unqualified doctors. With this, I conclude that whenever you visit a doctor, you must emphasize in getting the prescription written from the doctor because it is your right and whoever shies away from giving you a prescription, please be wary of visiting that doctor or practitioner next time.

Hello Viewers,

They say if you wish to know the importance of emptiness, ask a constipated person. But there is so much more associated with this element which is very common yet critical than emptiness. And we have with us Dr. Jyoti Monga from Dr. Monga Ayurvedic Medi Clinic with us, who will through more light on this subject. Welcome Dr. Jyoti Monga. And my question would be, what are the health hazards associates with constipation? How do these hazards effect a person by allergically as well as his personality? Okay! So, constipation is a very common word that is you know quite common in all the people nowadays, especially who live in a metro culture. Jise ki hum ek normal language me kabz kehte hain.

So, basically kabz jante hain sab kya hota hai but you know very few people know that what all hazards it can do to your health and what all complications it can lead to. So, the first problem that is very common people who suffer from chronic constipation is piles. Piles of many types. You know some people call it hemorrhoids, some people call is piles. Now there is another problem call anal fissure. In which crack develop on the anus. Then there is anal rectal prolapse. The rectum it prolapse. Rectum jo hota hai vo prolapse ho jata hai. So, when you pass stool to vo bahar nikal ke aata hai which is you know a very measure problem. Sometimes, it can lead to intestinal obstruction also means the stool get stuck in which the intestine explode. Means intestine jo hai apki faat skti hai. Which in itself is a very serious complication and life threatening also.

So, basically if you have constipation don’t take it lightly. If its become chronic, it can lead to this type of problems. Apart from this hazards that constipation can lead to, do you think personality of person gets affected. Obviously, you can see a person, if you don’t pass stool for one day, my god, what all problems you have. I have so many patients coming to me. They develop you know so much of bloating, peat fool jana. That leads to acidity. Har waqt patient complaint krta hai, chhatti me jalan rehti hai. Then they develop headaches, laziness.

So, you know they are lot of you know problems that occur because of constipation which disturbs the normal daily routine of a person also. Dr. Jyoti, we know that the success rate of treatment to the constipated patients is very high. What approach should you take to treat these patients? So, basically I am an ayurvedic practitioner. So, you know in Ayurveda, thing first we taught is find the cause. Hettu ko dhundo. So, if you find the cause why the patient is developing constipation, definitely your success rate would be more because you are treating according to the cause. Now it could not only be a lifestyle disorder. It could be because of an underlining disease like you have, you know thyroid.

Thyroid leads to constipation. If you keep on treating constipation and don’t treat thyroid, it would reoccur again. So, basically you have to treat thyroid first and then you know you can see the results. It does wonder, if you treat according to the cause. So, basically the patients who come to us, first of all we analysis their lifestyle. Ki unka lifestyle kaisa hai. They have a sedentary lifestyle or they have a hectic lifestyle. What is their dietary pattern? Vo kaisa khana khate hain. Are they more into junk food, are they more into refine food or somebody who has come is on a weight loss plan. So, basically people are onto a high protein diet. Which also leads to constipation. So, you first have to analyse. What is the cause and after that treat accordingly?

So, this only helps us to give good results to a patient and then we give them the schedule according to the lifestyle. So, that they don’t have a drastic change. We just give them the small tips that they have to include in their daily schedule. So, that you know it is not a burden for them. SO, that they can enjoy that thing. It turns magical. The treatment is magical. If patient starts enjoying the treatment, you know than it works wonder to the patients and obviously to us also. Thank you so much Dr. Jyoti. Viewers, you have just seen a very vital information on constipation, health hazards, or the personality hazard it can make for person. So, if you are one of the constipated person, you must go and see a doctor at once and for having an appointment with Dr. Jyoti Monga, you have the numbers on your screen.

Thank you so much.

Hello, my name is Dr Prashant Das from Dr Monga’s Health World and today in our series, ‘Hello Doctor’, we will be talking about Ayurveda and many other things related to Ayurveda. And, I’ll be interacting with  Dr. Jyoti Monga of Dr Monga Clinic.

Dr Jyoti-  Hello, Good morning, I’m  Dr. Jyoti Monga, so we can start with the questions?

Dr Prashant Das- Thank you, Dr. Jyoti. So my first question to you is what exactly is Ayurveda?
 

Dr Jyoti-  Okay, so, everybody has listened the term ‘ayurveda’. So Ayurveda if we split into two words, it’s ‘ayur’ and ‘veda’. ‘Ayur’ means life and ‘veda’ means science. So when we enter the college, the first sloka that we learn or we are taught is ‘Hita hitam sukham dukham ayus tasya hitahitam mana ch tachha yatrokatam Ayurveda sa uchyate’. Iska matlab hai, hitkar ahitkar sukhkar dukhkar ayu hai, aur iske ahit aur hit ke baare mein jo humein gyaan deta hai, usse ayurveda kahan jata hai. So I think you would be able to understand that it is the science in which we learn how to lead a healthy life and how we can get rid of the diseases.

Dr Prashant Das-  And my next question to you is why Ayurveda is not the first or primary option for a common man? When he is facing some problem and he goes to a doctor, why Ayurveda is not his first choice?

Dr Jyoti-   It’s very unfortunate actually. Ayurveda having its origins from India, people don’t believe that it is their own pathy, they don’t trust it. There are a lot of causes, lot of reasons why this is emerging as it. People are not trusting ayurveda as they are trusting the other pathies. So, first of all, is the ayurvedic doctors, you know they themselves do not have the confidence that they can treat people with ayurveda. They actually practice modern pathy, they do not know that there is hardly anything which they cannot treat with ayurveda. Secondly, you know, is the quacks. Quackery is a very very very big issue, you know. Aap jab jaate hai raste pe tab bahut saare aapko tent lagaye huye nazar aate hai, jispe aap dekhte hai, ‘ayurveda dwara ilaj kijiye’, ek jhole wala baba betha hota hai aur unhone 10-15 jars mein jo hai who aapke ayurvedic oshadhiya rakhi hui hai. Toh, people think that shayad yahi ayurveda hai, sorry, it is not ayurveda. And one very important thing, people think that drinking amla juice every day, drinking aloe vera, going vegetarian, and practising yoga is ayurveda. It is a part of ayurveda, but it is not complete ayurveda. People actually don’t know what wonders this pathy can do.

Dr Prashant Das-  Okay, so that leads me to the next question. We have been hearing about Dr Monga Clinic and we have a punch line also, that we practice ‘ethical ayurveda’. What is the difference between a normal ayurveda practice and an ethical Ayurveda practice?

Dr Jyoti-  You know, Mr Prashant, at Dr Monga’s Health World, our main motive is to develop faith in our ayurvedic pathy, means our ayurvedic medicine. We are doing our level best so we can make people understand that Ayurveda can do wonders, you know. But when we enter the college, we are taught, sabse pehle aapko kya karna chahiye? Hetu, ‘hetu’ means karan ko dhundiye. So until and unless you have a detailed word with your patient ki why you are having this problem, what is the diet, what is the lifestyle because there are so many so many things that are adding to the present condition of the patient. Thik hai, there are physiological diseases also, but they are getting worsened by your diet and lifestyle. So here at Dr Monga Clinic, we tell the patients to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, to make changes in the diet and lifestyle, so that they can have the ultimate good health.

Dr Prashant Das-      A related question to the answer that you have just given, I would like to ask you how can a patient when he comes to an ayurvedic doctor and he gets prescribed for his disease or an illness, how can he derive the maximum benefits from the goodness of ayurveda?

Dr Jyoti-Very good question, actually. Actually, the best thing that a patient can get after having an ayurvedic treatment is that first of all, he or she should follow the do’s and don’t’s very properly. Finally, when a person comes to an ayurvedic doctor, woh sab jagah ghumke aata hai. The stage is at such a chronic point that you cannot expect wonders. It will take its time. So, first of all, they need to be patient, they need to follow the do’s and don’t’s properly so that they can achieve the best out of the ayurvedic treatment.

Thank you so much doctor and this brings to the first conclusion of the first episode of ‘Hello Doctor’, we’ll see you again, until then, take care and have a healthy life.
