Summer time - Easy hacks to let off steam naturally
Summers during my childhood were the season of five rupee ice creams and lying under the ceiling fan on the cool floor after a long day of outside play. But nowadays, it is truly an inconvenience trying to keep cool. The heat and humidity can make you feel drowsy, like a lizard in the sun and it seriously cuts back my productive time. This discomfort from the heat is the worst during the night time, and it interferes with my sleep cycle. But like many people nowadays, I hesitate to turn on the AC, which often makes use of fuels like Hydro Fluro carbons that can be a thousand times more damaging to the environment than CO2. Besides, AC is not conducive to health too. And that got me thinking: why not try and repurpose some of my childhood techniques to stay cool as an adult? Here are some cheap and environment-friendly ways to reduce AC usage and keep your electric bill costs down. Learn how to use your windows: Heat coming in through windows makes up about half

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

Balancing ADHD with Mother Nature

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?

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

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.
