Working in an air conditioned environment? Take care of health the natural way
Air-conditioned rooms are highly polluted A newspaper report based on a research says - ''If you think you are breathing purely filtered air in an air-conditioned room, you are in for a rude shock. The air is not pure and harmless. It is found containing suspended metallic aluminium particles, which constitute a health hazard. Aluminium is chosen for air-conditioning mainly because of its high resistance to corrosion. On exposure to air, it forms a protective layer (oxide film) on the surface and this impedes further reaction. It is now speculated that this circulating air somehow activates the reaction of carbon dioxide and water with oxide film and underlying metal is affected. Reporting in environmental science technology, Canadian scientists say “Aluminium particles from corroded air-conditioner raise the pollution in the room to extremely high levels. Inhalation of aluminium dust gives rise to pulmonary fibrosis and causes structural changes in the lungs, causi

Anxiety in Children
What is anxiety? The word ‘anxiety' is commonly associated with the experience/feeling of nervousness, distress, apprehension, worry and may even have physical manifestations like sweating, nausea, tremors, headaches etc. Simply put, anxiety is our response to a trigger, which is usually something we are apprehensive about or scared of. The trigger may be real or imaginary. Interestingly, the physiological responses associated with anxiety are similar to the way our body responds to fear i.e. the flight-or-fight response. These essentially are a set of bodily changes (like increased heartbeat and blood pressure) that assist you in fighting or escaping as soon as a threat or danger is perceived. Is anxiety normal? Even in children? Anxiety, to some extent, is not only normal it is adaptive and has functional value.

FOOD and VITALITY - again and again
In his autobiographical book, ‘The story of my experiments with TRUTH', Mr MK Gandhi shared his experience ofeating meat. He shares: “…I asked my friend the reason and he explained it thus: 'We areweak people because we do not eat meat. The English are able to rule over us because they are meat-eaters. You know how hardy I am, and how great a runner too. It is because I am a meat-eater. Meat-eaters do not have boils or tumours and even if they sometimes happen to have any, these heal quickly. Our teachers and other distinguished people who eat meat are no fools. They know its virtues. You should do likewise. There is nothing like trying. Try, and see what strength it gives….” Mr Gandhi continues… “…All this had its due effect on me. I was beaten. It began to grow on me that meat-eating was good, that it would make me strong and daring, and that, if the whole country took to meat-eating, the English could be overc

Magic of water - Hydrotherapy part 1
Healing is not something humans need to aim towards; in fact, it is a part of our natural system. Made up of 5 elements, the body is capable of healing itself on its own once we start giving it the right inputs through a natural way of living.

Free Yourself from Harmful Chemicals – Switch to Natural Beauty Products
The buzzword in the beauty and cosmetics industry is “natural.” Natural beauty products are the hottest trend right now, and cosmetics that claim to be “au natural” made with plant-based extracts are selling like hotcakes. But are they really natural? Let's clear up the confusions behind natural beauty products once and for all, and learn how to switch to clean natural products for our beauty regime. Statista reports that nearly 73% of women aged between 18 and 34 revealed that they look for labels like “natural” and “organic” while choosing beauty products. But, here's the bitter truth – just because a product claims to be natural, it doesn't mean it uses only natural ingredients. For instance, a commercial hibiscus shampoo may contain only a tiny percentage of hibiscus extracts – and the rest is made up of other synthetic chemicals added for aroma, volume, to extend shelf life and a variety of other reasons.
