How To Interpret Thyroid From Nature’s Point Of View?
Hormones secreted by the thyroid help maintain the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs, and help the body to use energy properly. So when something goes awry that leads to an underactive or overactive thyroid, your metabolism either revs up too high or slows way down. Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones. It upsets the normal balance of chemical reactions in your body. Similarly, hyperthyroidismis the condition when the thyroid gland is overactive & it makes excessive amounts of hormones. Whenever our body is out of balance, it indicates to us through an illness or disease. Whichever type of thyroid it is, it is body's way of indicating to us that the hormones are out of balance. Our body always works for us to be in good health. We just have to support it correctly & this can be done by staying in-sync with nature. Chemicals
Natural cure of Haemorrhoids/piles
What is piles or haemorrhoids? How does it develop? How can this painful condition be prevented and what diet changes are needed? This article takes a closer look at this very common problem which many people suffer from today. Blame not nature Instead of blaming the unhygienic habits of living as the sole cause of haemorrhoids, the blame is placed on Mother Nature 'for having wrongly designed the human frame. Due to unhygienic living practices or repeated suppression of acute and chronic conditions with drugs, the tone of blood vessels get adversely affected. In such cases, the veins develop varicosity and become distended. What is known as piles or haemorrhoids is only varicosity of the veins inside or outside the anus. What happens during bowel movements? When the faecal matter has reached the end of the descending colon and when the system wants to expel it, an urge for defecation is felt. The rectum is then stretched open to let the stool pass through. The membranes
All about Tea
In most households, drinking tea first thing in the morning and later in the day is the norm. Some find it refreshing; others just addictive. Whatever your reasons maybe, if you are someone who is habituated to the ‘tea-drinking' practice, this article is for you. It will discuss the different types of tea, how the practice came into being and how you can get rid of this habit that does more harm than good. “Subah ki chai se neend khul jaati hai.” “Shaam ki chai se energy feel hoti hai.” Heard these lines before? We are sure you have. Many people around us are habituated towards consuming tea more than even twice a day. You'd be surprised to know that it is the second most-consumed beverage after water!

They have been marketed for reasons that include health benefits, as an energizing drink, as a means of socializing and even weight loss! T
Music therapy - An effective way to manage stress
Listening to a song or a music instrument does wonders in a stressful situation. Every individual has his or her own taste when it comes to music and should listen to music whichever he or she is comfortable with. Music could be a stress buster while you travel, work or relax after a hectic day at work. One could not force himself to listen to music which could be a stress by itself rather than alleviating it. What is Music Therapy? American Music Therapy Association defines Music Therapy as “Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music intervention to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.” What is Stress? Physiological or biological stress is our body's response to a stressor or environmental condition. It could also explain how our body reacts to a challenge. During a stressed condition, our body's
Office and health - Strike the right balance
The hectic routine of office-goers in today's time has created an adverse impact on their health. Statistics show that most of today's health issues are due to lifestyle. The same bad habits repeated over time accumulate toxins in the body. As per nature cure, accumulation of toxins is the single cause of any disease. In this article, we discuss why it is considered a difficult task to stay healthy naturally for a regular office-goer, along with the solution in the form of simple steps that can be incorporated to ensure a healthy work-life balance. Why does taking care of health become difficult for office goers? Consider a situation when you have a regular 9-5 job. You wake up early in the morning, get ready, and head towards your office after a cup of coffee. Long hours of commute involves sitting most of the time. Breakfast is something on the go or a quick one at a roadside café. During the work hours, in-between multiple meetings and many cups of tea and the u
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? The search for eternal youth But in man's search for eternal youth nothing of the bizarre or unusual has worked. Brinkley 's goat gland transplantation was widely heralded for a time and Brown - Sequard's seminal fluid rejuvenator once attracted much interest. Th
Natural Ways to Quit Smoking-This Cancer Day Take Your First Step Towards Kicking The Butt
Cancer Day is observed on 4th February. Readers will remember the remarks of MARK TWAIN when the cigar-smoking habit badgered him. Often he tried to quit. He realized the harm and the necessity of quitting when he humorously said something like this - "Quit smoking. Why anybody can do that. I quit a thousand times." One wonders if the same recurrence of desire which caused Mark Twain to quit thousand times, only to return to the habit is a part of all the ‘so-called' cures that have been offered to destroy the habit. Here is a system that works since which is physiologically based. Breathing has always been involved in the smoking habit; whether cigars, cigarettes, pipes or, bidis. All smokers, when they reach for a cigarette feel deprived of air. The deep inspiration drawing the first smoke into the mouth is an effort to get more air, more oxygen, albeit contaminated with nicotine & whatnot. By the act of smoking, the mechanism of respirati
Eat RAW food to HEAL!
Are we DESIGNED to eat raw LIVING FOOD? I mean, think about it, could it be that we were meant to simply pick and eat? That there was no mistake after all? That we are in fact perfect? All of us? How our body processes food? Well, we are all human beings, born with identical chemistry, the same organs, glands, and systems. Our glands and bodily functions are all the same. On the inside, we do not differ at all. Every human baby will drink their mother's milk if available, and if not, they will still be given the same formula to drink. If we look at nature, all species eat the same within their kind, their species. Every lion has the same diet, and every gorilla does too. This is because what we thrive on eating, is what we have been designed to eat. We are designed to eat raw fruits and vegetables, and this truly is our natural diet. We are tropical species, yes, we are primates. I like to simply call it food. What is the debate about different type of fo
Processed foods – Are they our natural food?

Healthy hair – Nourish your crowning glory from within
Worried about your hair loss, thinning or graying hair? Tried all kinds of shampoos, gels, gharelu nuskas, hair serums and nothing works? As a normal phenomeno, the average human scalp sheds between 50 and 100 hairs a day. However, when the rate of falling exceeds the rate of replenishment, it becomes a cause to tear your hair in frustration! Well, there may be a reason. Keep your hair on and read on. Truth behind healthy hair The state of health of a person is reflected in the state of the hair too. Our hair gets its nutrition from within. There are living cells in the hair bulb which get their nourishment from the blood to make good healthy hair. Taking care of the body's needs – physiological, mental and emotional needs with the correct lifestyle results in superior quality of blood which feeds the cells of the hair. When the quality of blood supplying the nutrition is good, the quality and colour of hair is good too. Did you know that hair growth and regenerati
DANCE OF DENSITY
This article is dedicated to and inspired by Herbert McGolfin Shelton's Natural Hygienic theories and the concept of STRUCTURE GOVERNS FUNCTIONS. Shelton was an American Naturopath who used to say, "Hygienic care is the only rational and radical care that has ever been administered to the sick in any age of the world in any place." [This is a line from his book, ‘Food Combining Made Easy'] Let me start with a few facts, picked up from Medical analyses. The percentage of water in our body – A grown-up healthy adult would have an average of 60-70% water in the body. [An infant would have approx. 80% water in the body.] In healthy conditions, Our muscles and kidneys contain more than 75% of water. Our brain and heart contain more than 70% of water. Our lung contains more than 80% of water. Even, the bones contain more than 30% of water. The healthy stool contains more than 75% of water. Other eliminations like sweat,
Walk to Freedom
Inside an average home, we take around a thousand steps a day to move about, which is a good 0.76 kilometre. A walk to the neighbourhood shop, say 500 metres away, will approximately take 650 steps to go one way and will be a trip total of around 1300 steps. Walking happens this simply! In our lifetime we connect to mother Earth with our feet, sharing our worries and thoughts with her and getting gently nourished back; making it truly a WALK TO FREEDOM. In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks - John Muir It is the biggest joy to watch our children take their first ‘baby' steps. The little falls that they ignore and their natural taking to standing up and trying to walk, truly define us as the most unique species that evolved – one that would walk on this planet. A simple walk is a body ability that is a superb exercise in itself and is loaded with benefits. Yet we often discount the greatness of walking despite its simplicity and low in
