Q.33. I am eighteen years of age and suffer from delayed menstruation: sometimes, the gap between the periods is as long as two months. Is it due to anemia?
Ans. Yes, anemia can lead to delayed periods. Sometimes menstruation does not occur for many months at a stretch. You must deal with the anemia first. For that, leafy vegetables, raw vegetables, potatoes, toasted in sand or over coals, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, spinach in uncooked form, oranges, pineapples, musk melons and mangoes should be your mainstay.

Alternate the tubs: five minutes in cold water and two minutes in the hot water tub. Repeat it four times and then take a cold bath.

37. Child Birth in the 8th
month:-
Q.41. My wife gave birth to an infant in the eighth month which did not survive beyond 24 hours. How can this condition be cured?
Ans. Many natural slays, including calcium, are needed for the healthy growth of a child in the mother’s womb. If the diet of the expectant mother is deficient in these salts, the fetus does not develop normally. The mother may suffer from atony or weakness of the muscles which support the uterus and may suffer a miscarriage and even if there is a normal birth, the child is most likely to be sickly and weak.
Calcium is found in leafy vegetables and milk in abundant quantities. If an expectant mother takes a balanced diet and follows the principles of nature cure, she will have healthy children.
