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

Appendix - Demystified
In my previous article on tonsils, I described the tonsils as a lymph node to drain the toxins from the head region. In this article, let's understand the function of the little known organ 'appendix' and the lifestyle changes required to keep it functioning well. What is the appendix? The vermiform appendix is a lymphatic structure too, 4 inches in length, a small worm-like appendage near the juncture of the small intestine and the large intestine (ileocecal valve), where the colon begins its upward journey. History of the appendix A research team traced the appendix back nearly 80 million years in evolutionary history as per an article from Science Daily. In fact, the appendix seems to have evolved at two separate times in two separate lineages. The first line in some of the Australian Marsupials and then evolved in the mammalian line that humans belong to. Is it really vestigial? Vestigial organs are the organs that have no apparent function and are con
Beat the heat - Cool internally
Summer is back again - and so are the foods, coolants, shades, travel and home projects that we get to do! It is also a time where life bursts in with abundant varieties of fruits vegetables and fauna, along with longer day time. As the temperatures soar outside, let's look at the multitude ways to beat the heat this season. COOL INTERNALLY TO BEAT THE HEAT Come summer (from April to July) and we see a rise in temperatures, heated land surface, loss of surface moisture, dry air, loo winds, heat waves and sunstrokes. The excess heat and sweating can cause fatigue, dehydration, skin rash and allergy occurrences; while quick fermentation of food can result in vomiting, diarrhoea and gastric issues. To beat the heat that is outside, our bodies can counter it with many ways to cool from the inside. Like, the fruits and vegetables that we get in this season are the most suited to meet the increased body needs that take place with the changing weather. FRUITS 1. Th
How to Handle Jet Lag Naturally?
The power of technology has made it fairly simple for individuals to cross boundaries across nations in the matter of a few hours. Even though air transport has ample benefits, it also brings a new issue for all of us to deal with: JET LAG. Let's discuss more about this topic by viewing it through the lens of Nature Cure and find effective natural solutions. What is Jet Lag? Jet lag is a physiological condition that results from disturbance to the body's inbuilt rhythm caused by rapid long-distance. It occurs when people travel across different regions that have a large time zone difference. We all are aware that our bodies have a natural body clock called circadian rhythm. Our bodies are governed by the cycle of day and night which is responsible for regulating our sleep cycles and which maintains other bodily functions. The body takes cues from these circadian rhythms and follows a schedule to perform its functions – wake up, sleep, hunger among many others. Whenever
Balancing ADHD with Mother Nature
ADHD is one of the most prevalent chronic mental health conditions affecting school-aged children these days. It is considered the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. Both children and their caregivers go through hardships to manage this condition. Is there a way out? Does Mother Nature have an answer? Read on to know more. What is ADHD? ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Though it is called a disorder, it is more of an imbalance of certain neurotransmitters and hormones in the body. There is no single cause for ADHD. It may be attributed to either heredity, trauma to the brain or exposure to toxic substances, alcohol and smoking during pregnancy or premature birth and side effect of medications. Making holistic lifestyle changes and using behavioural therapies can create a huge impact on the overall health of the child. It is important to know that kids with ADHD are just as smart as those without ADHD and this disorder ha

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. Repeat this round around 4 minutes. Alway

Anger – The Continuum from Procreative to Destructive Energy
It is common sense that the root cause of anger lies in disappointment; a disappointment which comes from failure in the meeting of expectations. However, not every expectation leads to disappointment and not every disappointment leads to anger. Simply put, only expectations which are tied to our survival leadto anger. Now, we all have our own definition of survival. This is the reason why, in any situation, two people can have different emotions when hit by disappointment. Every moment that we live, we live with hope and hope gives birth to expectation. Since the definition of our survival is programmed in interdependence, our expectations are largely turned towards others. Therefore, almost every moment spent with expectation carries the potential to turn into anger. Moments spent without hope are moments without curiosity, which quickens the process of ageing. With age, we turn hopeless all the time by concluding on our relationships, career, family and self. We often dub it

Nature's Way of Exercise
Nature has laws that we as nature's children need to live by. There are certain rhythms like the circadian rhythm than man's internal body time clock is tuned into from time immemorial. The tribals live by the laws of the land, sun, sea and atmosphere. For them, its nature that determines when they wake up, work, eat, play and sleep. That was before artificial light and electricity came into being. No matter how much time you spend in artificial light, our body-mind craves the real sunlight. The sun element is important for natural exercise. We are like plants; we absorb the sun's rays and create vitamins and energy from it which sustains us. We breathe oxygen from plants and trees which they naturally eliminate. There is a natural demand for movement from our body which we term exercise as there is a natural symbiosis of rest and relaxation too.

PSYsolution Series 1: ARTICLE 3 of 15: Health Myths (Part 2)
Continuing our previous part on Health Myths, here are a few more myths that we suffer from. Myth 9: Nature Cure is herbalism! Fact: In herbalism, herbs are considered as medicines. Nature Cure does not recommend any specific herbs to treat any specific health problem. Explanation:On this topic, I would like to quote Acharya Lakshmana Sarma, who is considered as the father of Nature Cure in India. He opined... “...'Pathy' means disease. Because of this meaning of 'pathy‘, it is wrong to call Nature-Cure 'Naturopathy'...” The treatment streams end with ‘pathy' offers remedies to diseases whereas Nature Cure educates you to attain overall health. Myth 10: All old traditional practices are as per Nature Cure science! Fact: There are lot many traditional practices which defy the norms of Nature Cure. Blind acceptance of any practice just on the basis of when and who practices it, is a foolish choice. Explanat
A complete guide to cure diabetes : Part 2 - FAQs
There are many myths and confusions about diabetes and implementation challenges of what to eat, how much to eat and how to manage medicines. Here, in Part 2 of the blog series on diabetes, Nature Cure expert Swati Dhariwal addresses these FAQs. To read part 1 of this blog - A complete guide to cure diabetes, click here. 1) What diet should one take for diabetes? Raw vegan diet is the best for diabetics. Fresh and seasonal raw fruits and vegetables grown locally are the most suitable food. Raw vegan diet means only fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and soaked groundnuts, chana, moong etc. They can be eaten as salads or individual fruits or consumed in form or juices smoothies. Why vegan? Because our digestive system is designed in such a way that it can digest plant based food faster than animal based foods. Animal based foods including milk and curd are highly mucous forming and toxin forming. Meat takes so much time to be processed through our intestines that by the ti
Green the Red : Chemical free eco friendly menstruation!
Issues faced by menstruating women world over Today the exposure of a menstruating woman to toxic chemicals is unbelievably high compared to women one or two generations ago. The reason being the use of sanitary pads or tampons during periods. Sanitary pads and tampons contain bleach, pesticides and other chemicals used for growing cotton, dioxins from plastics and gels used as absorbants. Once the menstrual blood soaks up, it creates an eco system of unhealthy microbes that are in direct contact not just with the vagina, but the urinary track and the digestive system. The exposure to these harmful chemicals and the microbes for continuous long hours cause havoc to the body. Environment pollution The disposal of used sanitary pads and tampons is a nightmare in most developing and under developed countries. They are clearly not biodegradable nor are they recyclable. In the developed countries, they are typically incinerated (combusted in a controlled industrial process) but in

Learn newer ways of preparing mind and body, physically, emotionally and mentally for surrendering. Learn how to truly understand and implement surrender. Intuition - Voice from within “We must take care to not make the intellect our God. It cannot lead; it can only serve.” - Albert Einstein Key to surrender comes from your intuition also called the ‘Voice of the subconscious mind' and not the linear mind or the conscious mind. The higher the intensity of surrender and longer the practice, the more intuitive and open we become to deeper knowledge. The more we surrender or act based on what the intuition tells us, we see the results faster and the better we get at practising it. Intuition does not always
