Hi, Any home remedy for pink eye in kids caused by viral infection? Thanks!!
Anchal Kapur

By pink eye, I assume u mean conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis is an inflammation in the eyes due to dust, pollen or germs in the air. When any of these interfere with the conjunctivia of the eyes, our body releases antibodies to deal with these foreign invaders. This is an absolutely normal body function and we should be grateful that body is trying to protect us from foreign particles ?. Symptoms such as itching, watery eyes, etc are body’s way of dealing with unwanted materials. Staying aligned to nature’s laws will help eyes restore their balance. Here are a few things you could do for your child- 1. He/she should Eat light as when body gets digestive rest, it can focus more on healing. Fruits, fruit juices, coconut water, nimboo paani. If he/she feels hungry after these, u could do veggie juices, soups and salads. Any other type of food to be strictly avoided. If there is an urge to eat cooked food, give simple khichdi. 2. Clean eyes with clean water every few hours. 3. put rose water or haldi water eyepads. Both have anti inflammatory properties. Boil water, add haldi, let it cool, dip cotton, squeeze and put on kid’s eyes. You could also use rose water eye drops, but ensure good quality organic rose water. 4. Very important - sun gazing - Make ur child look at the early morning sun. It shouldn’t be harsh, use your judgment. And if in doubt, just sit in sun. If child is very uncomfortable, do show him to a doc and continue to support child’s body naturally through the above. Good luck dear.

Can somebody please suggest a nice little spicy dip / chutney for chillas.
Shweta Gupta
02:00 PM | 21-11-2018
You can go for a peanut chutney. Its a very versatile dip. Just put together peanuts, jaggery, chilly flakes and soaked imli. You could add even green chillies to get that spicy dip u looking for. Or if running short of time, just simply do 1 onion+1 tomato + 1 to 2 green chillies. Fresh and yummy. Goes well with chilla.

My lips & skin are feeling very dry. What can be done?
Shweta Gupta

Hi all, our bodies signal even the minutest one is actually body’s greatest communication tool. It is telling you that you need to do some correction. Our body maintains an acid-alkaline balance, and every time we put more load on the body through wrong foods, late hours, no time to rest and repair, and no time for outdoors activity the body accumulates a lot of acidity called toxins. Dry skin and dry lips is a clear indication that you need to up your raw to create that much needed balance. Creams and oils, will only provide external relief but root cause remains same that body needs internal hyrdration at cellular level. Along with these you need to figure out what is causing all the ‘drying up’ i.e lack of rest, lack of proper sleep, too much ‘ontime’, too much gadget time, too less time in sunlight and fresh air. You may eat all the right foods yet, all these factors may will increase your acidic levels and thus reduce the good impact of hydrating foods. Here are few immediate actions you may take: Eating more raw, fresh, whole plant based foods. You can read about it here. Eating in accordance to Circadian Rhythm of body. You can read about it here. Sunlight and breathing are two easiest, natural and most effective way to create alkaline reserves within body and to support body to clean up effectively. So increase your time for both. Start slow, 15 minutes daily. Increase it slowly and steadily. Sleeping & resting: Allow enough downtime to your body. Reduce the load of gadgets as they also consume your energy and increase acidic load. Give yourself enough downtime in evening towards night to ensure body continues to be in rhythm of nature.
Q&A
Hello all! Is there a natural cure to uc? I have been on a heavy dosage of allopathic medicines.
Anchal Kapur
12:10 PM | 20-11-2018
Hi. Ulcerative colitis means ulcers in the colon / large intestine. Any ulcers that we get in our body are a manifestation of excess acidity in our bodies. They are body’s way of telling you to reduce acidity & restore the acid-alkaline balance. You can do so by eating foods that are natural, by staying calm & believing that all will be well and by resting a lot. Hence, UC is a problem that you can definitely get rid of. You don’t have to suffer from it for life!! If you take allopathic medicines, they might give you temporary relief. But UC will keep recurring every now & then because medicines never treat the root cause of a problem. I myself had ulcerative colitis and was on lifelong medication. Then I came across the natural way of living and made changes in my life. I have been medicine free & free from colitis since then. You can read my story in Health Journeys. I’ll be more than happy to answer any queries that you may have.

My mom is allergic to dust. Her nose starts running and head becomes heavy with dust. She takes cetrizine. Any suggestion for natural relief?
Sumeet Kapur
10:51 AM | 20-11-2018
:) reminds me of a close friend who was almost addicted to cetrizine the same way! But can also understand the need for relief because the reaction can really make it impossible to be functional. Everyone is looking for “quick fix” :) And thats the lesson. Plz suggest her to rest rest rest. ?? If she cannot follow a regimented routine just listening to the body and being patient - she will notice a shift. I'd remind my friend to take a 15min power nap (total rest) and then if she wants she can pop the pill. Next time i'd suggest 30 min and so on. And now she has shifted gradually to not reaching out for a pill at the first instance. Hope this works!!

Q&A
Hi. Any suggestions for blood from nose. It's not much but just drops sometime. Not sure if it is due to heat, guess that might be the reason.
Anchal Kapur
10:27 AM | 20-11-2018
Hi! As a kid, I would often suffer from nose bleeding in summers. It was basically because the sensitive nerves in the nose would rupture due to heat. The blood used to gush out quite quickly, it was quite scary. As I grew up, it became ok on its own. I think what really worked for me was multaani mitti. My mom would wet it & give it to me for inhaling deeply. It had a cooling impact & maybe my nose nerves became stronger too with the deep breathing. I would do this as a preventive measure, almost everyday, without waiting for the bleeding to begin. I used to avoid over-exposure to the summer sun & would use a cold pack on the nose & wet my head whenever there was nose bleeding. I would suggest you try the multaani mitti remedy & see if it helps. Watch it for sometime, else visit a naturopath or natural health expert.
Q&A
I am hungry at night or early morning? Many times hungry at odd times during day too despite having regular food. What should I do?
Shubhi Khurana
02:35 PM | 19-09-2018
The body functions by building energy reserves which we need need for daily function and reserves that which the body keeps to adapt to sudden changes or needs The hunger when you wake up a night and frequent hunger is an indicator that reserves are not being stored. The energy we are making daily is being consumed daily. This occurs when we do not rest in between the day. Reserves are built in periods of rest. You should focus on switching off, cooling down after work and taking breaks between the day, so do relook at whether you are always on the go and never finding any time to rest or deactivate during the day. As you focus on this, energy can be stored as reserves and hunger between meals and at night comes down.

Do regular steam with mouth open. That really helps. Hydrate from inside too, which means increase veg juices, fruits and salads. Reduce milk and grains – thats very important!

Pls help me with a remedy for bad throat, have been taking ginger honey. But seems to be a mild remedy.
Rishi Arya
01:30 PM | 19-11-2018
Make sure to avoid tea, coffee, fizzy or bottles drinks during this period (or even later!) They do add a lot of damage to sore throat. Instead focus on increasing fruits … a lot of it in your daily intake. This will avoid long term recurrence.
Q&A
On days when one is feeling sapped of energy but has to be out, what to do about it?
Ankur Bhatia
01:26 PM | 19-11-2018
Low energy is a sign to provide rest to body, in all 3 aspects, mental, digestive and physical. If you are not able to physically, rest, allow yourself some deep breaths whenever you can. If travelling, see if you can catch some snooze on the way (while in cabs or trains). Food wise, make fruits your best friend, especially bananas, have loads of it whenever you feel dip in energy. They are easy to digest. Do not demand energy from an already depleted body, and in turn provide quick energy.
Q&A
Hello. I am pregnant. I am experiencing day long nausea & loss of appetite. I'm concerned as i should be eating more rather than eating less!!
Shweta Gupta
11:51 AM | 19-11-2018
Keep your meal portions small. Incorporate a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Be sure to eat fruits alone, not mixed with other meal items. Also do know, that nature has designed procreation in such a way that, at this moment your baby will derive all the nourishment from your reserves. So the eating is to replenish your reserves. The nausea is a phase, and feel reassured that desire to eat will come back, which is when the baby needs real nourishment.

Hi! I have completed 15 weeks of pregnancy and am currently struggling with very heavy constipation. It gets particularly challenging at night. What can i do to get relief?
Alaka Goswami
11:48 AM | 19-11-2018
Reduce your milk intake and grains intake. They both are hugely constipating. Instead add more nuts such as sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds etc. Eat a lot of soaked dry fruits, and regular fruits durng morning and evening. Try adding veg juice to your meals. You can have them about an hour before your meals. This should help too.
Q&A
My 3 year old son just vomited. What to do in this kind of situation?
Asha Shivaram
11:03 AM | 19-11-2018
Vomiting is body’s way of cleansing. Don't force him to eat anything. Let him rest. When he feels hungry, give him his favourite fruit and when he feels thirsty, give him coconut water. Let him take plenty of rest, symptoms will subside on its own.
Q&A
My husband is having loose motions for the past 4 days. Any idea what to do?
Rishi Arya
10:58 AM | 19-11-2018
Your husband needs to rest a lot and allow body to do its job of cleaning up. Fevers, loose motions, cold and cough are mechanisms of the body to eliminate excess toxins. When our body’s acid-alkaline balance is skewed towards higher acidity the body, sets these functions in motion and restore the balance. Thus here, ample rest is the key. Allow the toxicity to come out, have faith that body is healing. Rest is meant 3 ways here, physically, mentally and even digestively. Anar are effective plus u can apply cold compress. Soak towel in cold water, squeeze it and keep it on stomach. Also, apply ginger juice on navel.
