Women will experience a thinning of the hair all over the head and almost never become completely bald.

In men, hair loss begins above the temples and moves back, towards the crown, drastically thinning hair on the top of the head. For some, male pattern baldness will leave their head completely bald. Others are left with a horseshoe ring of hair around the lower half of the scalp.

• Cough
• Sneezing
• Headache
• Itchy eyes, nose, throat or skin
• Swollen eyes

Migraines (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Reoccurring, severe headaches are classified as migraines. Unlike headaches which cause slight discomfort, migraines target a specific area of the head and can debilitate the victim for hours. In addition to aching in the head, sufferers of migraines can be sensitive to light, sound, smells and tastes. In some cases these factors can trigger the onset of a migraine.

While it is unknown what causes migraines, they can develop in people who have experienced head trauma, stroke or tumors.

An adult can experience a migraine for up to 72 hours at various degrees of pain. For some the pain is so great that they must lie in a dark room with a compress until the spell passes. It can be difficult to keep up with daily activities such as work and school for those that have episodes several times a week. Others will only experience a handful in their lifetime.

Post-pubescent women are three times more likely to suffer from migraines than any other segment of the population.

Floating spots and the inability to focus the eyes may appear as warning signs in some patients.

The most common form of ophthalmia occurs in newborns. Neonatal ophthalmia causes excessive discharge of the eyes due to contamination in the birth canal. It is closely associated with a positive diagnosis of chlamydia or gonorrhea in the mother.

If left untreated ophthalmia can lead to blindness and removal of infected eye.

Osteitis      (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Osteitis is a chronic condition resulting in the inflammation of the bones. Paget's disease is the most common form of osteitis and is characterized by deformed or enlarged bones. There is some evidence that Paget's disease is hereditary, but it is most commonly associated with slow virus infections.
The disease is characterized by the excessive breakdown of bone tissue, resulting in the deformation of bones which are left incredible weak and filled with blood vessels.

The elderly population is most at risk for developing osteitis, although adult family members of those previously diagnosed are at the greatest risk.

Osteitis can lay dormant for many years with few symptoms exhibited. Often patients with osteitis are misdiagnosed as arthritic.

Because osteitis can affect bones in any part of the body the symptoms vary greatly.

In general, symptoms can include:

• Pain in the bones
• Headaches, hearing loss or drowsiness (if skull is inflamed)
• Pain in the hips (if pelvic region is inflamed)

Psoriasis    (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Psoriasis is a genetic, noncontagious, chronic skin disease that his clinically characterized by the presence of rounded, scaly, dry patches of various sizes that appear grey or silvery white.

The word psoriasis comes from the Greek, psora, meaning irritation. It often affects the elbows, knees, scalp and torso, but can appear elsewhere, such as the face- around the eyes, ears, mouth and nose- on hands and feet and on the nails.

Psoriasis occurs among people of all ages, but is most commonly diagnosed in early adulthood.
In a healthy adult, skin cells regenerate until a wound is healed. For a person afflicted with psoriasis, skin cells regenerate too quickly due to faulty signals in the immune system, causing red, scaly lesions that crack and bleed.

Triggers that bring on psoriasis include:

• Emotional Stress
• Injury to the skin
• Some types of infection
• Reaction to certain drugs
• Fungal infection, such as Candida

Psoriasis appears in the following forms:

• Plaque - Most common form of the disease appears as raised, red patches or lesions covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells - called scale;
• Psoriasis Guttate - Appears as small red spots on the skin;
• Psoriasis Inverse - Occurs in armpits, groin and skin folds;
• Psoriasis Pustular - White blisters surrounded by red skin;
• Psoriasis Erythrodermic - Intense redness over large areas;
• Psoriatic Arthritis - can develop slowly with mild symptoms, or can develop quickly and be severe. Skin disease precedes joint disease which causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. 6%-8% of Psoriatic population suffers from psoriatic Arthritis.

Sinusitis     (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that is often mistaken for a prolonged allergy attack.
The paranasal sinuses are the air passageways in the face which are connected to the nose. When the nose becomes inflamed and filled with mucus, the paranasal sinuses are greatly affected.

Due to an excess of mucus buildup in the paranasal sinuses, or trapped air that can not escape through the nose, those that suffer from sinusitis experience intense pain and pressure in their sinuses.
While a cause is not known, patients with diabetes, immune deficiency disorders or those who are prone to fungus are at a higher risk for developing sinusitis.

In some patients sinusitis will last only a few weeks, but in others it can become a chronic condition causing headaches, fever, congestion and facial pain. If left untreated some patients may loose their sense of smell.

Sleep disorder (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

There are 84 known or suspected sleep disorders that affect adults. The most common include insomnia, sleep apnea, snoring and restless leg syndrome. Although not all adults report their sleeping disorders, it is believed that one in six do not get at least six hours of sleep each night.

Suffers of insomnia are unable to fall asleep and cannot remain sleeping once they reach that state. Often insomniacs lie in bed for hours with their thoughts racing. For some, insomnia will only last a few nights, as in the case of jet lag, but for others it can become a chronic condition.

- Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious syndrome where a person who is asleep has pauses in their breathing, literally skipping breaths. Adults and children suffer alike, although the syndrome is more common in adults who are obese and overweight and in children who have failure to thrive. Beyond feeling sleepy during the day and snoring, if left untreated sleep apnea can lead to congestive heart failure.

- Snoring
Snoring is the most common sleep disorder with as much as 50% of the population afflicted. Snoring is the result of the airway being blocked due to allergies, fat and deformation (misaligned bones). Not only are those who snore sleepy during the day; their partners are often more affected by the noise during the night than the snorer themselves.

Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes a person to shake or tap their legs uncontrollably in their sleep.

Factors that can contribute to sleep disorders include:

• Flakey, brittle nails are not a contributor to sleep disorders
• Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine
• Neck Pain
• Depression
• Obesity
• Irregular sleep schedule
• Noise

Those inflicted by sleeping disorders experience sleepiness during day, an inability to concentrate and irritability.

Toenail fungus    (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Toenail fungus (Onychomycosis) is a painful condition that disfigures and sometimes destroys toenails. Fungus, which thrives in moist, warm places such as locker rooms, swimming pools and inside shoes, feed of the protein-rich keratin found in nails. As the hardened surface dissolves, the nail begins to flake away. Nails which are infected by yeast or mold also occur and can make the nail thick or distorted in shape.
The big toe and little toe are most likely to develop toenail fungus due to their constant friction with the side of the shoe. As you age, the risk of developing toenail fungus increases.

Toenail fungus symptoms include:

• Flakey, brittle nails
• Thickened nails
• Nails that are distorted in shape
• Color change in nails (yellow, green, brown or black)
• Loss of luster/shine in nails

Infected nails which go untreated may separate from the nail bed resulting in build up under the nail, leading to color change, and severe pain. In some cases a slightly foul odor is detectable.

Weakness (Homeopathic Personal Remedy )

Weakness refers to the general loss of strength in the muscles.
Those suffering from weakness can experience it objectively, where there is a measurable difference in the strength of the muscles, or subjectively, where an inability to use full muscle strength is felt, but no significant loss can be measured.

Weakness can be localized in one area of the body or felt entirely throughout.

There are several known causes for weakness including chronic fatigue syndrome, muscular dystrophy, toxic poisoning, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and following a stroke.

Daily tasks such as climbing a flight of stairs or lifting a child can exhaust a person who suffers from weakness.
