STEAM INHALATION : Steam inhalation is a process to inhale the hot water vapor that helps to open the nasal passage, and it can help you provide some temporary relief from normal cold and flu.         The hot water that you drink is good for your throat. But Covid-19 virus is hidden behind the paranasal sinus of your nose for 3 to 4 days. The hot water we drink does not reach there. After 4 to 5 days, this virus that was hidden behind your paranasal sinus reaches your lungs, which triggers breathing issues. That's why it is very important to take steam, which reaches the back of your paranasal sinus. At 50℃, the Covid - 19 virus becomes inactive/paralyzed. At 60℃, the virus becomes so weak that any human immune system can fight against it. At 70 ℃ , the virus dies completely. This is what steam does. One who stays at home should take steam once a day. If you go to the market to buy groceries, vegetables, etc take it twice a day. The one who has to step out for work o...

TOOTH EROSION  is a type of tooth wear . It is defined as the irreversible loss of tooth structure due to chemical dissolution by acids not of bacterial origin . Dental erosion is the most common chronic disease of children ages 5–17. CAUSES: The most common cause of erosion is by acidic foods and drinks. In general, foods and drinks with a pH  below 5.0–5.7 have been known to trigger dental erosion effects. EXTRINSIC (External) SOURCES:   Acidic food and drink lowers the pH level of the mouth resulting in demineralisation of the teeth. Examples include fruit juices , such as apple and orange juices, sports drinks, wine  and beer.  Carbonated drinks, such as colas and lemonades, are also very acidic and hence have significant erosive potential. INTRINSIC (Internal) SOURCES:   Intrinsic dental erosion, also known as perimolysis, is the process whereby gastric acid  from the stomach comes into contact with the teeth. Self-induced vomiting inc...
