Xanthelasma is a type of cholesterol deposit that can appear as yellowish patches or bumps around the eyes. It's important to note that xanthelasma can be an indicator of high cholesterol levels in the blood, so it's important to have your cholesterol levels checked by a healthcare professional. While there are no proven home remedies for xanthelasma, some people have reported success with natural remedies such as garlic, apple cider vinegar, and castor oil. However, it's important to remember that natural remedies are not a substitute for medical treatment, and there is no guarantee that they will be effective for everyone. If you are concerned about the appearance of your xanthelasma, I recommend consulting with a dermatologist or a healthcare professional. They can recommend the best treatment plan for your specific case. Treatment options may include prescription creams or ointments, chemical peels, or laser therapy. It's important to address the underlying cause of xanthelasma by managing any underlying cholesterol or lipid disorders. This may involve making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking. In conclusion, while natural remedies may provide some relief for xanthelasma, they are not a substitute for medical treatment. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for your specific case, and addressing any underlying cholesterol or lipid disorders. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Feel free to consult me regarding this. Message me on whatsapp +mobile. My consultation fee is only rs. 50! take care. Wish you health.

Stretching and strengthening exercises or use of specialized devices may provide symptom relief. These include: physical therapy. A physical therapist can instruct you in a series of exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon and to strengthen lower leg muscles, which stabilize your ankle and heel. A therapist might also teach you to apply athletic taping to support the bottom of your foot. Night splints. Your physical therapist or doctor might recommend that you wear a splint that stretches your calf and the arch of your foot while you sleep. This holds the plantar fascia and achilles tendon in a lengthened position overnight and facilitates stretching. Orthotics. Your doctor might prescribe off-the-shelf or custom-fitted arch supports (orthotics) to help distribute pressure to your feet more evenly. Injections. Injecting a type of steroid medication into the tender area can provide temporary pain relief. Multiple injections aren't recommended because they can weaken your plantar fascia and possibly cause it to rupture. More recently, platelet-rich plasma has been used, under ultrasound guidance, to provide pain relief with less risk of tissue rupture. Lifestyle and home remediesto reduce the pain of plantar fasciitis, try these self-care tips: maintain a healthy weight. Lose weight if you're overweight or obese to minimize stress on your plantar fascia. Choose supportive shoes. Avoid high heels. Buy shoes with a low to moderate heel, good arch support and shock absorbency. Don't go barefoot, especially on hard surfaces. Don't wear worn-out athletic shoes. Replace your old athletic shoes before they stop supporting and cushioning your feet. If you're a runner, buy new shoes after about 400 to 500 miles of use. Change your sport. Try a low-impact sport, such as swimming or bicycling, instead of walking or jogging. Apply ice. Hold a cloth-covered ice pack over the area of pain for 15 to 20 minutes three or four times a day or after activity. Or try ice massage. Freeze a water-filled paper cup and roll it over the site of discomfort for about five to seven minutes. Regular ice massage can help reduce pain and inflammation. Stretch your arches. Simple home exercises can stretch your plantar fascia, achilles tendon and calf muscles.

Aerobics, weight lifting, strength training, yoga, pranayam etc all improve fatty liver and lower inflammation but pl keep in mind that excess of every thing is bad. Then supplementary treatment with ayurved is of utmost importance. Phyllanthus niruri, boerhaavia diffusa, katuki etc are the herbs in combo with others which are at place of pride in liver treatment.
