The basic rhythm of our glands
Today there is a big rise in hormonal issues like PCOS and Thyroidism (Hypo or Hyper). Hormones take care of many functions of the whole body and help us continue our day to day activities with ease. But hormones are out of sync in today's lifestyle. How can we take care of this issue? Hormones get imbalanced because our glands do not release and stop them at the correct time i.e an overproduction or underproduction.

Food Cravings – Understanding the cause
Quoting Jonathan Safran Foer - “Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity” has proven itself right time and again. Everyone craves for the foods that they have been raised eating. However, it's always mistaken with hunger based on the conditioning of the mind. Craving for food is an intense momentary desire to have something that the parasites in the GUT want. Cravings can become addictive and vicious. This article aims to address various aspects of cravings. Is Craving Hunger or Appetite? A food craving is an intense desire for a specific food. This desire can seem uncontrollable, and the person's hunger may not be satisfied until they get that particular food. Appetite for a particular food is another word for craving. It's not time-bound and is attached to mental happiness based on contentment. It's a condition that resembles the emotional status of hunger but isn't. Whereas, hunger is the state of the body.

Natural cure of kidney stones

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about 4 to 5 inches long. They lie on each side of the spinal column, just behind the space that contains the digestive organs (abdominal cavity).

So many people suffer from high cholesterol and elevated triglycerides. What is the reason behind this? By understanding the cause of increased levels, you become empowered to take charge and heal yourself. This article takes a deeper look.

Keeping warm during winter

What is the source of body warmth? This article discusses some of these aspects. The winter is fast approaching, many old age persons [like me] and weak persons, patients of some chronic diseases find it very awful to negotiate the marauding winter especially in north Indian states, some lucky ones migrate to the warmer ambience of southern parts of the country. They will be guided by the following passage. The secret of keeping warm is the abundance of VITAL POWER, which can be obtained only by avoiding the wasteful expenditure of it in the effort to digest excessive food. And the more nutritious the food is, the greater is the waste of vital power, and the less is the balance available to keeping bodily warmth.

Acid Alkaline Balance
Everything in our body can be understood by acid-alkaline balance. When we do not understand that the body is always balancing and give names to this balancing process by new disease nomenclatures, we create fear and panic of our own body and its vital power of realignment and balance. Understanding the pH Scale pH means the potential of Hydrogen in a solution, and pH scale represents that potential from 0 to 14. When you dissolve acid in a solution, it gives out hydrogen ions. Measuring the number of these ions in a solution gives the test of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. Acidity and Alkalinity are expressions of measurement on the pH scale, with neutrality expressed at the middle point of the scale, at number 7. Numbers below 7 symbolize acidity and above 7 symbolize alkalinity. Pure water is pH 7. Water is formed by integrating hydrogen and oxygen. Water continues to absorb both acid and alkaline radicals without itself being affected This property of wate

Rejuvenation by Fasting
Mother nature is ready to rejuvenate? Are you willing? It is an ardent desire of every one of us to be healthy, strong till our last breath. But we have lost our instinct of how to remain healthy, happy and strong till our last day on planet Earth. I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who once remarked that since youth is such a wonderful thing. It's too bad it has to be wasted on the young. It is an observation that all of us who are "fifty-nine and holding", or past holding, can see merit in. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could hold onto our youth until we had sense enough to know how to really enjoy it or if we could at least partially rejuvenate ourselves, once youth has fled?

Management of Sciatica through Natural Therapy
WHAT IS SCIATICA? Sciatica is a very common pain that starts in your lower back and shoots down to one leg or in both legs or sometimes it can shoot down all the way into your foot. Nerve root compression and irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve is often accompanied by low back pain and neurological deficits in the lower limb. In order to cure sciatica, my recommendation is to follow a proper treatment protocol which includes a proper diet and nutrition, hydrotherapy, massage, yoga, sunlight, sleep, stress management and exercise. HYDROTHERAPY FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT: Hot fomentation on the back for half an hour daily thrice. Ice pack on the painful areas daily thrice for 3-5 min. Hot leg pack for half an hour daily thrice. A hot and cold compress – Take two cotton cloths. One dipped in warm and the other in cold. Apply the warm cloth on the affected painful part for 3 minutes and then the cold cloth for a minute.

Nature Deficit Syndrome
You do a work out, sleep well and yet feel fatigued and listless for no obvious reason at the end of the workweek? No, you are not counting your sheep wrong nor is anything missing: you may be suffering from a "deprivation of the outdoor"- one of the most common problems of urban living. Check these for yourself 1) When did you last lie in the sunshine? 2) When did you last have an air bath? That fresh cold air touching/kissing your bare body to tickle the nerve centres? 3) When did you last enjoy a cold water bath/shower? 4) When did your feet last touch any mud or soil? The answer will be a big no for most of the urbanites. This perhaps means that he may be suffering from what is termed as "NATURE DEFICIT DISORDER" OR "NATURE DEFICIT SYNDROME" which arises from spending too much time under artificial air sucking (means living in A/C), living and working in high rise buildings and having no connection with natural surroundings.
