पेट या किडनी में है पथरी तो आजमाएं दादी मां के ये 10 नुस्खे

घर के बड़े बुजुर्गों के पास अक्सर हर दर्द और मर्ज का इलाज होता है। आपने भी अपने घर में बड़े बुजुर्गों जैसे कि दादा-दादी या नाना-नानी को कहते सुना होगा कि सुबह खाली पेट 3-4 ग्लास पानी पीने से पेट की
 सारी बीमारियां दूर हो जाती हैं। ऐसे ही न जाने कितने घरेलू नुस्खे हमें दादी और अन्य लोगों से सुनने को मिले हैं। आज हम आपको पेट और किडनी में पथरी के इलाज के लिए दादी मां के कुछ नुस्खे यानी ऐसे नुस्खे बताएंगे
जिन्हें आप घर पर आजमा सकते हैं:

- अगर आपके पेट में पथरी है तो इसके लिए पत्थरचट्टा के पौधे का एक पत्ता लें और उसे मिश्री के कुछ दानों के साथ पीसकर खा लें। पत्थरचट्टा औषधीय गुणों वाला एक पौधा होता है, जिसका उपयोग किडनी और पेट से जुड़ी
 बीमारियों के इलाज में किया जाता है। यह सदाबहार पौधा है जो भारत में खूब होता है। किडनी में पथरी की समस्या के लिए भी पत्थरचट्टा को सबसे ज्यादा कारगर माना जाता है। आयुर्वेद के अनुसार, यह प्रोस्टेट ग्लैंड और किडनी स्टोन
 की समस्या से निजात दिलाने में काफी मदद करता है।

2- एक ग्लास पानी में 3-4 बड़ी इलायची के एक चम्मच दाने, 1 चम्मच मिश्री और थोड़े से खरबूजे के बीज की गिरी भिगो दें और रोजाना सुबह इस पानी को पिएं और इन सभी चीजों को भी खा लें। कुछ दिनों में ही पथरी निकल जाएगी।

3- आंवला भी पथरी को निकालने में मदद करता है। इसके लिए रोजाना सुबह एक-एक चम्मच आंवले का पाउडर खाएं। आंवले के अलावा पथरी के इलाज में जामुन को भी कारगर बताया गया है।

4- पथरी निकालने के लिए पपीते की जड़ भी काफी मदद करती है। इसके लिए 7-8 ग्राम पपीते की जड़ को 1 ग्लास पानी में अच्छी तरह से घोल लें और फिर छान लें। अब रोजाना इस पानी को पिएं। ऐसा करने पथरी गल जाएगी और
 कुछ ही दिनों में निकल जाएगी।
5- पथरी पेट में हो या फिर किडनी में, लेकिन एक बात का ध्यान जरूर रखें कि आप ज्यादा से ज्यादा पानी पिएं। ज्यादा पानी पीने से शरीर में मौजूद पूरी गंदगी बाहर निकल जाएगी और पथरी होने का भी डर नहीं रहेगा। दरअसल किडनी शरीर में एक फिल्टर का काम
 करती है। जब शरीर में पानी की कमी हो जाती है तो किडनी पानी की कम मात्रा छानती है। इसकी वजह से शरीर में मौजूद कैल्शियम, यूरिक ऐसिड जैसी कई अन्य चीजें शरीर से बाहर नहीं निकल पाते और वे पथरी के रूप ले लेते हैं।

© Provided by T3 Best Philips Lumea deals Are you fed up of shaving or waxing? IPL machines are useful tools for men and women who want to get rid of unwanted body hair. You should never buy one at RRP, however, because just like electric toothbrushes and mattresses, they're always on sale. Whether it’s getting your legs ready for a couple of weeks in the sun or ridding your back of those hairs that you swear grow back bushier each time you shave, IPL machines are an easy and convenient solution to making sure your body remains hair-free.  While they won’t remove the hair for good, you can usually go a good month before the odd touch up is required to keep hair growth at bay. IPL stands for 'intense pulsed light', and unlike laser machines, it uses different wavelengths to target pigment within the hair. Once the light reaches the pigment, it’s heated to a level which kills the growing cells, eradicating the hair.  The Philips Lumea IPL machines should be used every two weeks for three to four treatments until the skin is smooth and hair-free. After those initial treatments, and the hair is gone, you simply top up every four to eight weeks to stop the hair from growing back.  Do note that because of the way IPL works (it targets dark hair), it's not effective on red, light-blonde or white/grey hair.>

IPL 2020: Tournament "very Much On", Measures Will Be Taken To Tackle Coronavirus Threat, Says Ganguly

IPL 2020: Tournament "very Much On", Measures Will Be Taken To Tackle Coronavirus Threat, Says Ganguly 



The BCCI President Sourav Ganguly assured fans and media that the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is "very much on schedule", despite the threat posed by the rapid-spread of the novel coronavirus. In a chat with PTI, Ganguly pointed out that country teams all over the world are still playing and all precautions will be taken to ensure the tournament isn't affected. The BCCI president however, couldn't provide any specifics as to what measures will be taken to ensure safety of both fans and players inside packed venues. The cricketing extravaganza is scheduled to get underway on March 29, with a tournament opener between last-year's finalist Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. India's coronavirus patient count currently stands at 31, including 16 Italian tourists. Internationally, the deadly outbreak has so far killed more than 3,300 people and infected nearly 100,000 in about 85 countries. "IPL is very much on. Everywhere, the tournaments are going on. England are already in Sri Lanka. South Africa are here. There are no issues," Ganguly asserted. "County teams are travelling all over the world. They are travelling to Abu Dhabi, UAE to play. So there is no problem," he added. Asked about the precautionary measures to ensure that players and fans are not affected, Ganguly said a medical team is thrashing out the specifics. "We will take all precautions. I don't know exactly what are the extra measures. It's only medical team which will tell us about that," he said. "The medical team is already in touch with the hospitals so that everything is available.

 We will do what the doctors say. They are the professionals. "All medical issues will be addressed by the medical team. Every tournament will go on," he added. The coronavirus outbreak has severely impacted the global sporting schedules with one of the disease epicentres, Italy, banning fans from venues till April. Olympic test events have been postponed or cancelled in Japan, another badly-affected country. There are growing concerns about


 the fate of the Tokyo Olympics in July-August despite the International Olympic Committee's assertion that the quadrennial showpiece will go ahead as planned. (With PTI Inputs) Time to show-off your poker skills and win Rs.25 lakhs with no investment. Register Now!

With the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League just three weeks away, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni. The former India skipper has been away from cricket since India's exit from the World Cup last year after losing to New Zealand in the semifinal. The wicketkeeper-batsman is set to make a return for CSK in the IPL, and Dhoni has already started training at the nets at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. © Provided by Hindustan Times Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni. (IPL) In one of the videos uploaded of Dhoni's training by Star Sports Tamil, the 38-year-old showed a glimpse of what he is still capable of with a willow. The right-hander was seen smashing five consecutive sixes at the nets.   From the video, it remains unclear whether Dhoni is hitting the shots against a bowler or a ball-machine. But hitting five consecutive sixes, either ways, showcases that the cricketer is still capable of smashing big hits and light up Chepauk when the tournament starts on March 29. Dhoni started his training in Chennai from March 2 along with other players ahead of season 13 of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

 The 38-year old, whose future in the game has been a subject of intense speculation in the past few months, has maintained a stoic silence on what his next move would be. He was dropped from the BCCI's list of centrally contracted players in January. Dhoni has so far played 190 IPL matches (including two editions for Rising Pune Supergiants) and has scored 4,432 runs, including 23 half centuries. CSK will start their IPL 2020 campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians on March 29 at the Wankhede Stadium in what will be a repeat of last year's final.

Seton Hall basketball: Rally falls short vs. Villanova; Big East title will have to wait

Seton Hall basketball: Rally falls short vs. Villanova; Big East title will have to wait 

Watch: Seton Hall celebrates Senior Night before Villanova game. Asbury Park Press NEWARK -- Myles Powell walked slowly into the interview room and pulled his hoodie tightly over his head as he sat down. He buried his face in his hands. “This one is rough,” he said. That it was. The stage was set for a triumphal, generational moment for Seton Hall basketball. Senior Night for one of the great classes in program history. A record-setting crowd of 16,863 at the Prudential Center. A chance to win the outright Big East regular-season title for the first time since 1993. The only problem? Villanova didn’t follow the script. The reigning champ threw its best punch, edging the eighth-ranked Hall 79-77 Wednesday.  Column: Getting Powell to MSG for the East Regional is the goal Seton Hall basketball seniors Myles Powell, Quincy McKnight, Asiah Avent and Romaro Gill (Photo: Jerry Carino) “We fought until we saw zeroes on the clock; I just wish it could have turned out a little better,” Powell said. “Villanova, they’re a top 10 basketball team. They handled our runs; they handled our crowd. That’s Villanova basketball. They have a legendary coach and they have good players.” Now the Pirates (21-8 overall, 13-4 Big East) will have to win at Creighton Saturday to capture the top seed in the Big East Tournament and avoid a title share. “I feel like we play better with our backs to the wall anyway,” Powell said.  No. 14 Villanova (23-7, 12-5) contributed to that by making 13 3-pointers and limiting Seton Hall’s senior trio. Powell (14 points on 5-of-18 shooting, 8 assists), Quincy McKnight (16 points on 6-of-14, 7 assists) and Ro Gill (6 points, 4 rebounds) never seized control the way they have so many times before. “They came in here and gave it to us,” McKnight said. “They gave us a good game. This is going to add fuel to the fire for us.” Seton Hall was trying to sweep Villanova for the first time since 1993, but the Wildcats controlled things throughout. After falling behind by 14, the Hall pulled within three in the closing seconds. Powell missed a game-tying 3-pointer from the right wing with five seconds left — sophomore Jared Rhoden appeared to whiff on a screen for him on the play — but junior Shavar Reynolds got fouled going for the rebound. With four seconds left, Reynolds made both free throws — playing the percentages, Hall coach Kevin Willard instructed him to not miss intentionally. And after Villanova made just one of two free throws at the other end, the Pirates got the ball upcourt to junior wing Myles Cale, whose game-winning 3-pointer missed the mark as time expired. “It’s tough, but that’s basketball,” McKnight said. “You take a whole bunch of tough losses through your life in basketball and you bounce back. It hurts; it definitely hurts, to lose like that on Senior Night.” NJ college basketball: In Episode 4 of Jersey Jump Shot our experts talk Myles Powell jersey Seton Hall's Myles Powell reacts after scoring during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Villanova. (Photo: John Minchillo, AP) FIVE TAKEAWAYS1. Give Villanova credit The Wildcats weren’t going to just show up and hand over the crown. This is a proud program that has won six of the seven Big East titles since the conference downsized. Villanova is young but has the talent to be a second-weekend NCAA Tournament team, and they brought the A-game in this one. The Cats' ball movement was outstanding, and they made Powell's life hard by siccing 6-foot-8, future NBA draft pick Saddiq Bey on him. Jay Wright also made excellent use of quick timeouts to stem any Pirate momentum and crowd frenzy.   It’s tough to dethrone the king. Wright said he thinks Seton Hall can win the NCAA Tournament, comparing their experience and toughness to that of last year's champion, Virginia.  "We played Baylor, we played Kansas and I think they're right up there with those guys," Wright said. "I definitely think they’re capable of winning it all.” McKnight appreciated the praise.  "He knows what it takes, so for him to say that about us, it's a great compliment," he said. "We're going to take that and run with it." 2. Shavar Reynolds stands tall All the attention was on Seton Hall’s seniors, but an unheralded junior might have been the Pirates’ key player.

Reynolds, the former walk-on and Manchester High School graduate, made all three of his 3-pointers and finished with 12 points. He also defended Bey better than any of his teammates despite giving up six inches.  He’s been the Pirates’ best sub this season, by far. Sandro Mamukelashvili paced the Hall with 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 10 boards.  Seton Hall Pirates guard Quincy McKnight (0) reacts after making a basket against the Villanova Wildcats during the first half at Prudential Center. (Photo: Vincent Carchietta, Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports) 3. A special Senior Night It’s always a moving rite of passage, but this pregame ceremony reached another gear. The rolling roar for Powell, McKnight, Gill and Asiah Avent was louder and longer than any ovation in recent memory, perhaps going all the way back to Terry Dehere’s jersey retirement in 1993. It was good seeing Pirate legend Anthony Avent escort son Asiah onto the court, and classy move by Willard starting the walk-on. Myles Powell, All-American:  Senior's legacy at Seton Hall goes beyond the scoring The moment reached a crescendo when Powell embraced Willard. Tears streamed down both of Powell’s cheeks. It seemed like he didn’t want to let go. "He told me that he loved me," Powell said. "I heard the crowd start cheering. It just caught up to me. I love this building, I love my fans I love the university. So it was just an emotional night for me, and I just wish it could have turned out a little better."  It would have been a nice touch seeing Powell address the crowd. No Pirate has done that on Senior Night since Andre Barrett in 2004. But Willard didn’t want the other seniors to be overshadowed. 4. Seton Hall fans, take a bow They closed the season with tremendous crowds at home, capped by an all-time showing Wednesday. The streets outside the Prudential center were a circus before tip-off, with a sea of people congregating. Just about everyone managed to get to their seats on time for the ceremony. Breaking the attendance record was icing on the cake.  "I think a lot of people just enjoy how hard this team has played and what type of kids they are," Willard said. "The crowds have been great all year, they really have. Our fans have come out, the crowd tonight was phenomenal." Jerry Carino's ballot:  Associated Press Top 25 basketball poll They capped off the night by offering a standing ovation as the Pirates left the court in defeat. The players genuinely seemed to appreciate the gesture.  "We felt the love from everybody," McKnight said. "All the workers at the Prudential Center, the fans on the sideline, thanking us. Everybody loves us and we love everybody. Wish we could have gotten the win for our fans and ourselves." Fans can finish the job by flocking to Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament and, in all likelihood, Albany’s Times-Union Center for the first weekend of the Big Dance. 5. Epilogue: One more shot After the final buzzer, Willard walked into a locker room of crying players.  "I love their heart," he said. "I love how much it means to them, I love the fact that they’re all hurting right now. If they didn’t care and it didn’t hurt, then they wouldn’t bounce back. But they do."  Powell embodied that spirit as he spoke with 30 or so reporters, his voice strengthening as he collected his thoughts. Gems fell from his lips.  "I'm almost at the finish line of what I started, not only on the basketball court, but I took another step in life as a man," he said. "I just want to say thank you to everybody — my family and friends, the fans, you guys (reporters).

It was a pleasure. I just wish we were having a different conversation." Well, the beauty of sports is that it doesn't follow a script. Seton Hall has some big chapters left to write.  "It's hard, but I'm built for adversity," Powell said. "This definitely won't break me. I'll be ready for Creighton on Saturday. I'll do my best to lead this team like I've been doing all year, to lead them to a championship."

To see a woman as president, we’ll have to wait another four years | Column 

Last week, I sat on a stage in front of more than 200 women in Columbus, Ohio, and tried to answer a simple question. I don’t remember exactly how interviewer Angela Pace asked it, but I heard it this way: What do you want your granddaughters to remember about you? To my embarrassment, my eyes teared up and my voice began to quiver. It’s been such a long three years. We have seven grandchildren: four boys and three girls. I love them equally, as I made clear that day from the stage. But we were talking less than a week before Super Tuesday, when most political punditry had already congealed around two presumed front-runners, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Connie Schultz [[Gus Chan | The Plain Dealer]] Elizabeth Warren, the smart, talented, compassionate senator from Massachusetts, was already invisible, right before their eyes. Like millions of other women, I still see her and the hope she always brings with her. It’s as bright and crystalline as hydrangeas in the dusk’s light, glistening after a soft summer rain. What do I want my granddaughters to remember about me? My love for my grandchildren keeps my heart on the brink of combustion, but when I think of Jackie, Carolyn and Ela, ages 5, 4 and 2, something else kicks in; I can’t deny it. I’m old enough to know which dreams died but young enough to remember when I thought they defined who I—who we—would be. I try never to lead with my injuries, but it’s one thing to work hard to get over a disloyal love. A heart can heal, after all. It’s something quite different when the betrayal never comes to an end. Once again, it seems, we will have to wait at least another four years to see a woman sworn in as president of the United States. (Warren dropped out of the race today.) “It’s not because she’s a woman,” people tell me. “It’s because she’s that woman,” people tell me. “It’s because of Hillary’s loss that it feels like a woman couldn’t win,” people tell me. You can tell me and you can tell me and you can tell me—but let me tell you: There’s not a lie I haven’t heard about what a woman can and cannot do. At my age, every act of sexism and misogyny is an encore production. Jessica Valenti, a brilliant feminist writer two decades younger than me, wrote this after Super Tuesday, for Medium: “Even just supporting Warren has come with an unbearable amount of misogynist condescension. I’m tired of being told that I’m a single-issue voter because I care about a candidate’s gender, even if it’s not the only thing I care about. I’m over being made to feel as if representation for half the population isn’t a necessary and radical political position. I don’t appreciate being told that I’m either anti-revolution because I didn’t support Bernie Sanders or unrealistic because I won’t vote for Joe Biden. I especially resent the theory being bandied about that Warren somehow ‘stole’ votes from Sanders; it’s nonsense.” If you had told me 20 years ago that we’d still be having this conversation about the limitations of women, the only thing I would have allowed you was a running start to get out of my way. Our daughters aren’t much younger than Valenti, which might be why these words of hers took my breath away: “Whoever the nominee is, their campaign is going to have to come to terms with the intense misogyny so many female voters have dealt with—and understand that it’s an issue we care deeply about.

And their supporters are going to have to let us be sad—depressed, even—that once again we’re going to watch a race to leadership between old white men.” Will we vote for that nominee? Of course, we will, in droves. We love our country. What do I want my granddaughters to remember about me? All those little, big things. How much I loved them. How I kept a book of the smart and funny things they said. How I lined our walls with their photos, year after year. Still, why did I cry? Maybe it’s because I don’t take for granted that I will live long enough for them to have many memories of me. Maybe it’s because I hope that, in their toughest moments, long after I’m gone, my persistent opposition to this president’s racism and misogyny will remind them that this is who we are, we women in this family. Or maybe it’s simpler than that.

Maybe I cried because I, too, needed a moment to be sad, after all these years.
