I'm dealing with chicken pox and feeling pretty uncomfortable and in pain. I'm wondering if smoking weed could help me feel better. Is it safe to do that while dealing with this illness?

Your symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal (GI) issue, which could be due to:

Infection (viral or bacterial) Food poisoning Indigestion or acid reflux Other underlying conditions

To manage your symptoms, try:

Staying hydrated with plenty of fluids Avoiding spicy or heavy foods Taking antacids or acid reducers (if advised by a doctor) Resting and avoiding strenuous activities

Consult a doctor for proper evaluation and guidance, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep taking 5mg biotin tablets forever for my hair, skin, and nails. I've been experiencing hair fall for about a year now and I'm also considering taking Follihair. Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using Follihair and biotin regularly for a long time?

Biotin 5mg tablets can be beneficial for improving hair, skin, and nail health when taken regularly. However, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. Follihair is a combination supplement that contains biotin along with other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health. It can help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. When taken as directed, biotin and Follihair are generally safe for long-term use. Side effects are rare, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

I'm dealing with hair loss and a bit of baldness, and I read somewhere that glutathione might help. Can you tell me if it's effective for this issue? Just want to know if it's worth trying out.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.
