Causes of diseases


Non, over or wrong utilization 
of senses



The whole universe is made up of five basic elements, namely Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Our body is made by mother nature having the same elements. Human body has 11 organs altogether. 5 motor organs 5 sensory organs and Mind which co-ordinates the orchestra of the sense and motor organs. Without mind a human body may be in a vegetative state or a nuisance. 

All senses have their limitations. Ears can not decipher decibels less than they are capable of. Similarly louder sound can affect ear apparatus and body system as, say, in an explosion. 
When one tries to hear less audible sound all the time or does not hear at all then it is an under utilizing the ears; in this condition normal hearing may also be a troublesome. Can produce stress over the system. In busy cities we are used to noisy atmosphere. We over utilize the apparatus. Long sound waves produce hazardous effects over long period of time. Stethoscope  and amplifiers are the instruments to amplify sound waves to audible level. In amplifier it is sound which gets modified because of electronic circuitry. So stethoscope and and amplifier both enhance the sound but differently.First does not affect the apparatus but the later can. Apart from hearing low sound or loud sound there can be one more dimension, that is the  duration. For how long you hear sound that is also a factor affecting body. Hearing a note requires at least 20 milliseconds. To decipher two different sounds requires that much of time. 
In short this over or under utilization of the ears can affect ears and the body. Then what is contrary utilization? Hearing unnecessary sounds. Most of harsh sounds and noise by machinery. honking in a traffic jam, quarrels, etc. All these are said to be cause for a disease. 

Touch is another sense which is very important. Skin makes us feel the touch. It is the largest organ in the body. It is modified at different places as per requirement. cheeks are soft and delicate. The skin over palms and feet are different and non hairy. Body skin and over the joints it is modified for a stretch. Heat, cold and pressure are the sensation sensed by skin. It protects body from many hazards and accidents. It also controls the moisture goes out from the skin. Homeostasis is maintained. Body temperature is maintained. All these function if enhanced or reduced than normalcy body equilibrium is disturbed. When the skin touches highly heated object or it remains in a climate which excessively cold. It proves hazardous to the body either because of burn or due losing heat because of excessive cold. 

Similarly all senses have their over utilization, under  or contrary utilization of the sense organs can be considered. 

We will consider motor organs and mind in following posts;
