PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 15 of 15: MIND MATTERS
MIND OR MATTER? The debate, “Which is more important, Mind or Matter?” is a perennial debate! The Mind is invisible; whereas, Matter is visible. If we perceive this aspect, neutrally and naturally, we shall find that the wellness of the human organism can be primarily correlated to the matters. Improvement of matters, bodily matters, brings wellness back to the individual substantially, even without the involvement of the mind. It means, if an individual suffers from some bodily ailments and changes the food intake in-sync with nature, the problem gets improved substantially, for most of the cases. On the other hand, in similar cases, if the food is not changed but thought-wise, the individual conserves a lot of vitality, the possibilities of improvement are rare! Having said, the primary importance of Matters, we must acknowledge the ultimate importance of Mind. Because, for the sustainability of the opted change in food (the matter), the involvement o
PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 14 of 15: ACTION MATTERS
In this penultimate topic of this series, we shall focus on a few ACTION BASED GOOD HABITS and try to inculcate the needful habits of less enervation and of vitality conservations. Hence in these recommendations also, the primary goal is to conserve our vitality to regain and maintain health. These reversal formulae are generalized ones; these need individual customization with a rational approach for adoption. Our body gets support from solar radiation a lot. Solar radiation includes both particles and heat. Both have huge impact on our existence. Solar particles providethe most important raw material for the body. The thermal influence of the sun is another important aspect we become differently active at different hours of the day depending upon the sun's availability. Generally, when the sun starts rising our body gets activated and the first thing it does is eliminating the accumulated waste matters. It starts at approximately 4 am in the morning. For
PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 1 of 15: Introduction to the principles of pure Nature Cure
It is a privilege to start this series of articles in the Body Wisdom section of Wellcure. We thank the team Wellcure for extending this opportunity. Yes, we are talking about Natural Health and Hygiene. We are talking about syncing our LIFE with NATURE. The LIFE, as defined by NATURE, is a combination of the body and the vitality, the LIFEFORCE. Without the VITALITY, the body is called a dead body. Without theBODY, the vitality is meaningless for us. The right state of the BODY helps us to achieve a better Sense of Lifewith higher conserved vitality. The right management of VITALITY helps us to achieve the right state of the body. In the beginning, the body, that we get during the birth, is in its ideal state of being, in general. So, at the start, the right body is structured which is full with the Sense of Life and a lot of conserved vitality. The wellness problem starts with our mismanagement of the vitality, knowingly or unknowingly!
PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 5 of 15: Deficiency: a Nature’s explanation
The disintegrating business of modern science can never reach to the exact elemental details of the body. The science is great in its exploration but not in its intervention. The simple reason is the exploration of nature including organisms, can never be completed, that means whatever we human can do to explore the nature it will be an incomplete task only. These explorations are great realisation of knowledge but the application becomes questionable. Now think about the risky proposition of intervention on the basis of a half-done research. Deficiency theory based interventions takes that risk, blindly! Majority of medicines and supplements are based on this theory which is irrational in its completion. Let us strive deeper into it. DEFICIENCY IS THE INADEQUACY OF SPECIFIC ELEMENT IN THE BODY. Image credit: stevepb via Pixabay.com I am sure, we all have experienced this in our lifetime, personally or in family or friend circle. You are told that &ldquo

Wine, Rum, Beer, etc are all various names and flavours of alcohol that contain Ethanol or Ethyl alcohol along with other ingredients. It is created as a result of the fermentation of dead fruits or grains when certain species of yeast metabolize sugar in the absence of oxygen.

One study noted that when food was scarce, human ancestors living on trees came down to live on land to dine on fallen rotten fruits. There arose a genetic mutation to break down alcohol

FOOD and VITALITY - the vital understanding
Recently, I came across this advertisement! It says “We make a dead person, alive”! I shall not even waste time ridiculing this advertisement. I shall come straight to the point of the foundation! What is the foundation of this thought process of claiming to make a dead person, alive? The seed is the misconceptions about the VITALITY! Unless we understand the aspect of vitality well, we would suffer from a lot of superstitions related to our health and happiness altogether. Wherever we see a life, we experience the existence of VITALITY. Seeing the life around us might trigger the assumptions of vitality-enhancement as - lives usually look similar. But technically, the vitality cannot be interchangeable due to the non-compatible uniqueness. The vitality of the individual is unique to that individual only. If the vitality would have been increased through external enhancements, mankind would have averted death by now! Averting death is det
PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 4 of 15: Infection: Nature’s explanation
Let us suppose you have organized a party at your home and invited me. I went there, enjoyed a lot. Meanwhile, another friend of mine saw me at the party from outside. He considered me as the host of the party. Based on that single assumption he builds a lot of stories and spread to the world! The major portion of the medicinal fraternity is confused with this Invitee Vs Host confusion. Pathogens, without much of rationales, are considered as the host, whereas they are the invitee in a diseased body. Let us dive deeper to know the reality, rationally! Definition of Infection: The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. By now if you have noticed, the word ORGANISMS is used in Nature Cure repeatedly! Yes, Nature Cure is not limited to the Human Being but the science of Nature Cure is equally applicable to all organisms. The meaning of Organism as per Google: AN INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL, PLANT, OR SINGLE-CELLED LIF
FOOD and VITALITY - the debate continues
A friend of mine brings a gift for me. An ashtray made out of white marble stone! Beautifully crafted! She is beaming with excitement while gifting it to me. I am a bit shocked than surprised! What should I do with it? I nor smoke neither allow any visitor to smoke in our house! She argues that I am not appreciating the gift as she expected me to do! I appreciate the craft! Indeed, it is a good work, embossed delicately. This could be a good showpiece but not an ashtray for me. She perhaps sensed the untold statement in my eyes - “The ashtray cannot be considered useful for me for its actual purpose!” She gets annoyed! I am helpless to help her… This article is in continuation with the dialectical understanding of food NOT giving energy or VITALITY. Well, the statement, many times, has been countered intelligently and repeatedly during my interactions with people. One of the recent interactions raised a very intelligent ques
Ethical Dissonance and Compassionate Integrity
Scene 1 I met this vegan friend of mine in a supermarket, purchasing a few mosquito repellent sprays! Scene 2 I met one of my vegetarian friends who chose vegetarianism to opt nonviolence against animals. I met him in a marriage counsellor's office, he was accused of beating his wife badly! Scene 3 I met this secular Indian nationalist who I found very much rational in identifying that there is no difference between any religion – we all are same! He was giving a burning speech about how Chinese are bad! Dissonances-Dissonances-Dissonances Everywhere, the imposed ethical practices are full of dissonances. The simple reason is, ethics are illusionary and situation specific. It is an imaginary imposition. Unless the choices are dialectically accepted by the individual, dissonances are obvious! I was asked the other day that how am I so convinced about the dialectical approach? Because the true dialectic does not differentiate in accordanc
PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 10 of 15: STAGES OF DISEASES - as per Pure Nature Cure (PART 2)
In this part, let's go in little details of the STAGES OF DISEASES as per Pure Nature Cure.

Hence one has to manage it well to maintain homeostasis. Enervation is depletion of vitality.

This goes from every tiny to vast task that
Part 2- Understanding Adolescence – Parental and Community Support
In Part1 of this series of articles on adolescence, we understood the basic changes that youth undergo during puberty and adolescence and as parents how we can be aware and sensitive to those changes. In this part, we learn the true value of a supportive community and how beautiful a healthy teenager can be. Supporting your child through adolescence Help your child by providing a stable, safe and loving home environment. Create an atmosphere of honesty, mutual trust, and respect. Supporting them through physical changes Try to support your child in their self-expression, even if some of it seems odd to you, such as an extreme haircut or offbeat clothing choices. These may not be their permanent choice as their tastes keep changing. For example, a 15-year-old wanted a pixie cut, which became a boy-cut and stayed for a year. She had vowed that all her life this was going to be her low maintenance hairstyle but by the end of the year she decided to start re-g
Roots: Our Saviour From Ancient Times
Roots have been part of our ancient diet since a very long time; they have been benefitting our body and mind with their highly nutritious content. Here we will talk about seven common roots which were always a part of our diet and how they have been serving us for a long time now. We have been eating root vegetables in our diet for a very long time. What do you think is making them our basic choice? Let us keep it simple - Onions and Potatoes- both these vegetables are a part of almost 70-80% of our Indian household. What is so significant about them? Why are they our primary choice in Indian diet? We have been putting a lot of pressure on eating seasonal food and understanding their importance on our body. Whenever we eat local and seasonal food, we tend to absorb things better in the body. These root vegetables have always been part for most of our seasons, except a few, so it is time to explore them one by one. Seven common root vegetables and why we eat them? Here a
Naturopathy 101, for the middle class and more!
Definition of health Health does not merely refer to physical fitness. The WHO in 1948, gave a worldly acceptable definition of Health which goes by, 'Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely absence of disease or infirmity ‘. Which means a person has to be mentally, emotionally and physically be considered ‘healthy'. This might not be truly applicable to the present world - A world divided by class, caste and creed. The middle-class population Let us most importantly focus on the elephant in the room,' The Middle-Class population of India'.Yes, the middle class,that amounts to around 267 million of the population of India. According to the NHA survey, an average Indian spends about 42% of his OOP (Out of Pocket expenditure ) on health care, which equals to an average of ₹5,00,000 in a yearly saving of ₹12,00,000, according to budget expenditure reports. Let us say an average middle-cla
'Nature: The Only Healer' book by Acharya S. Swaminathan : Summary
This book gives a deep insight into the world of nature cure. It emphasizes the importance of nature in keeping humanity free from diseases and live a healthy life. According to the author, the only cure to any disease is the restoration of health back to normalcy by living in tune with laws of health.

PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 9 of 15: STAGES OF DISEASES - as per Pure Nature Cure (PART 1)
In this topic, we shall cover, Phases of disease, Stages of disease and finally The Convergence of Idea of disease as per Pure Nature Cure. The body is the best friend of an individual. Indeed, it is! Whatever an individual does, the body tries to give the individual always a NEUTRAL STATE and considers the individual as the master to please always, until it goes beyond the limit. That is why the body surfaces any problem only when it is grossly unmanageable from inside. Providing a state of homeostasis is the objective of our body, always. What we perceive as the diseases are examples of the endeavours of the body to bring back the homeostasis. The body works extensively from inside to repair and at the surface, we feel discomforts and help the body to conserve vitality, so that the body gets more conserved vitality for its work. We cannot avoid toxin inputs in our body, completely! Toxins are being generated within us due to different reasons, 24x7, e.g. pollu
5 Benefits of Mindful Eating and How to Do It Right?
Food has been the ultimate boon for mankind. It gives our body the required nutrition to perform our daily activities. When it comes to maintaining one's ideal weight, the one parameter that plays the most important role is – Food. However, it is not just what we eat but the way we consume it that plays a major role in its proper absorption and synthesis by our body. You must've noticed people around you who are busy talking to one another while eating or engrossed in exchanging text messages on phones. Some are glued to the television while eating food and some even prefer to read during the same! All these distractions are signs of a mindless form of eating which leads to improper assimilation of nutrients by the body. When we eat socially in a cosy setting, we start lagging in listening to our body and invariably overeat. Some people are also emotional eaters who resort to food during distressing times. Ideally, it'd be the best to skip eating when you
Salt can be addictive
USE LESS SALT; BE KIND TO YOURSELF. What does excess salt do? Almost everyone has seen someone who is a salt 'DRUNKARD'.EGON V ULLMANN, M.D. in a classic article declared that ''like nicotine, alcohol, coffee, tea and opiates, salt leads to a craving and a large no. people do not want to eat even sweet fruits, coffee tea or chocolates without it." The food industry knows this craving for salt and has brought out many food items, dishes accordingly. Adults normally need only half a gram of salt a day. However, most people consume 10-15 grams of it and much of it is already incorporated in the foods we consume. ''People who consume from 15 to 25 grams of salt per day accumulate, in spite of elimination through the urine, so much salt in their tissues that they can be looked upon as' ‘LIVING PICKLES'. Why should we use less salt? One gram of salt, in order to remain in solution, retains 70 grams of water in the body .The me
