Abstract:
Herbal and homeopathic compounds have been used to aid in childbearing and pregnancy for centuries. Much of this information is anecdotal and lacks scientific support, making it difficult to evaluate safety and efficacy. Increased public interest in alternative treatments leads to the need for a systematic review on the topic. Herbal remedies are most often used to treat the most common pregnancy-related problems like nausea, stretch marks and varicose veins. In contrast to this, concerns have also been raised about the adverse effects of these remedies. The primary objective of this research

Abstract:
M.Tech.<br>Menopause refers to the natural cessation of the menstrual cycle at the end of the reproductive years, and is usually defined retrospectively after twelve consecutive months of amenorrhoea. Climacteric is the term used to describe the life period surrounding menopause. It begins with physiological changes that mark the transition between the reproductive and post-reproductive years (Lewis and Bernstein, 1996). The mean age of menopause is 51 years, with a normal range from 45 to 56 years (Chamberlain and Malvern, 1996). There are many symptoms associated with menopause, including ho

Abstract:
M.Tech. (Homoeopathy)<br>This is a study which has involved the treatment of individuals, manifesting with depressed symptoms, using homoeopathic medication. Each patient was first seen by a clinical psychologist who made her own diagnosis of the patient's depressed condition. Each patient then attended a three hour initial case-taking session where the researcher gathered much information about that patient's life story. The researcher was interested in all physical, emotional and mental symptoms that patients were experiencing. Thus, the approach was a holistic one, i.e. where all aspects of

Abstract:
M. Tech.<br>Since year zero of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, homosexuality has been linked to HIV/AIDS (Hooper; 2000). HIV positive homosexual individuals, therefore, are exposed to double stigmatisation; that of being homosexual and of being infected with HIV/AIDS. Taking into account the link between psyche, neural and immunological function, the above statement directly impacts the pathophysiology and prognosis of HIV/AIDS (Forrest and Kanbus; 2004) (De Kooker; 2002). This study examines the psychological and emotional states of the subjects, which are influenced, not only by their disease state b
