Looking to replace my RO. With so much talk about it recently, wonder if there is a natural RO that I can start using?
Abhilasha Singh

Basically what ro purifier does is making your body adapted and used to it so if accidentally or in some circumstances where ro water is not available you drink normal water ,your body doesn't responds nicely to that.you might suffer upset stomach.you would require mineral water every time you are outdoors. You can opt for normal aqua guard purifier,as it won't make your body less immune. Our body has it's methods to deal with usual issues. So I would highly suggest not to go for ro water if there are young children in your home. Let their immune system build stronger by adapting to nature and creating antibodies . Our body can heal on itself. Try to maintain healthy diet and stay connected to nature. Stay healthy.

Recommend instant remedy for loose and watery stools
Smitha Hemadri
09:12 AM | 08-06-2019
Loosemotions are a good sign of the body. Why try to stop it ? Don’t try to find immediate relief or supressors. Give rest to the stomach and continue to feed liquids from vegetables / tender coconut and fruits without any additives. Body will get the rest from digestion and heal. If this is for an adult, he can fast and sip on tender coconut / lime water only and wait for the phase to pass. Body does not like to stay innthat conditon forever too. It has to restore itself back to normal. Don’t look for remedies as it won’t help the person in the long run. In Ayurveda / homeo / all I there are plenty of suppressors in the form of meds and herbs that can stop this loosemotions but why your body gave the motions in the first place ? Let it handle it. It’s the best judge. Wise people always say know your facts before taking action. Can you say you know all facts and details that are ongoing inside the body to take a decision to stop it ? It’s a black box to us. The best you can do is to understand its inputs and nature of outputs only. What happens in the processing part is best left to the body. Imo don’t stop it, give a break to your stomach instead.

Can anyone suggest me a diet plan for PCOS?
Mehak
09:01 PM | 07-06-2019
Two of the primary ways in which diet affects PCOS are weight management and insulin production and resistance. However insulin plays a significant role in PCOS,so managing it is a major condition that needs to be followed. A low glycemic index diet can be followed which includes foods like whole grains, legumes,nuts,seeds, fruits, starchy Vegetables all should be taken. Natural unprocessed foods,high fibre foods,spinach, Fenugreek and other dark green leafy vegetables are goods,dark red fruits and broccoli, cauliflower and last but not the least dried beans,lentils and legumes should not be missed. Nuts and oil seeds should be placed at your priority list which should include walnuts,almonds and pistachios.Spices like turmeric and cinnamon should be preferred Food to avoid:-Refined carbs,fried foods,sugary beverages and processed foods .

What is the reason behind dark circles under the eyes and how we can remove these dark circles?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
06:09 PM | 06-06-2019
This response from PSYsolution is in line with the Pure Nature Cure (PNC). In PNC, the remedies are never recommended. In PNC, the causal analysis through VITALITY-EDUCATION is opted always. To know more about PNC, you can study this series. Hi Ms Kaur, We need to understand the peripheral experience is not the end of anything! There is always something beneath to explore... We often get obsessed with the instant remedies of the visible symptomatic health issues! We need to hold back ourselves from the instant correction (read, remedies) and delve deeper to explore the CAUSE behind this superficial evolution of the health issues. Dark circle around the eyes is not just pigmentation! It talks about the over-engagement of our VITALITY in different unnecessary tasks that we chose for ourselves knowingly or unknowingly! One needs to disengage VITALITY from unwanted engagements in terms of Physical, Physiological and Psychological tasks to reverse the problem. Basically, due to over-stress, the body is unable to expel toxin through its normal routes and the skin around eyes are chosen by the body for theaccumulation of waste matters. Whenever the stress from all the 3 domains (Physical, Physiological and Psychological) is reduced, the body will expel the waste matters through effective metabolism and the dark circles would go away. The above is the general recommendation, I would definitely appreciate you to opt an analytical specific evaluation of your lifestyle by a Nature Cure diagnostician/practitioner so that the reversal can be faster. Thank you...
Q&A
Whats are the benefits of eating brown sugar over white sugar?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
07:34 AM | 06-06-2019
This response is in line with the Pure Nature Cure (PNC). In PNC, the remedies are never recommended. In PNC, the causal analysis is opted always. To know more about PNC, you can study this series. Hi Subham, There is no benefit from either! We could arrive at the point that brown is better than white due to its less processing. But the fact is brown might be less harmful than white and both are harmful in terms of consuming our VITALITY. Poison is always a poison and cannot be recommended, whatever the intensity it may carry in it. The sweetness, directly from Nature takes the least VITALITY in the digestion and assimilation process. Hence, please opt the unprocessed forms of sweetness, as much as possible. Thank you...
Q&A
What to do if you’re suffering from long standing constipation and flatulence and bloating all the time. Despite having a set diet of increased fibre and more water and doing all the Ayurveda techniques. Yet it’s never been relived. Kindly give some long lasting remedies. Not the laxatives. Have tried all of them
Smitha Hemadri
04:04 PM | 03-06-2019
Doc, it’s a valid question. A person who is constipated initially on a healthy regime would not be able to eliminate the old putrid waste because they would have formed multiple layers and dried up. So when the diet starts, the walls generate mucus and starts releasing them. However, they are still hard enough to be eliminated naturally. Hence whether it’s an Ayurvedic spa / naturopathy, enema has to start 2-3 days after putting them on a healthy regime. It also gives another opportunity from below to soften them and continue to get that dehydrated waste out. Without enema for a month, such experiences are natural imo. In nature cure also enema is recommended but not for the reason of clearing the constipation, but to help the body release the old junk out. So in a nutshell, start enema and continue daily for a month. It’s better the person stays on liquids for 3 days to start with. Also apply a cold pack on the abdomen, sunbath, sitz bath till the navel.. all these will help in some blood circulation too. Be blessed

Hi I have been diagnosed with mucosal lp in my genital area. Any natural cure for it? Want to refrain from streoids or any ointments... Doing my intermittent fasting and less on grains. Please help!
Anchal Kapur

Hi. Our body speaks to us through symptoms & skin being the largest surfaced organ is a key medium of doing so. When you look at it from nature's point of view, any skin issue (it doesn't matter it's in which part of the body) is a sign of imbalance in the body. The toxins have accumulated & the skin issue is worse than regular acne or allergy. First & foremost, spend some time in reading the healing journeys of people who cured skin issues naturally - Read here. This is an important starting point. Only when you feel inspired, you will make the changes in lifestyle. 2. Less grains, less cooked food, high raw, fruits only till noon, no dairy & non veg, no tea coffee - Adopt strictly, atleast for few weeks. Increase your body's natural hydration through fruits, fruit juices & smoothies, vegetable juices, raw veggie salads, coconut water, nimboo paani, etc. 3. Spend time in water - Bathe 2-3 times a day. 4. Sun - Soak the sun for 15-20 min everyday, early morning sun. Do deep breathing exercises alongside. 5. Practice affirmations. Speak positive words aloud whenever fear of poor health comes into play. 'My body is doing so well for me. I am healthy, I am happy, I am grateful to my body'. Smile a lot. Skin issues are a result of not just food habits, but also of mental state. So just focus on yourself & be calm. If you need one on one help on shifting to a natural lifestyle, Wellcure can help you through its Buddy program. Let me know.

From the last 1 week, I'm not able to sleep at all in the night. It is because my routine has been hampered from past 2 months due to my exams preparation for which I remain awake late at night. How to overcome this?
Asha Shivaram
09:33 AM | 03-06-2019
As you said, your cycle has been disturbed for the past few months. It will take a few days for you to come back to routine, so be patient. You could try these steps to wind down - Listen to soothing music - Meditate or do deep breathing before sleeping - Write down the thoughts in your head so they are not running around in your head - Do not eat anything heavy 2 or 3 hours before bed time - No TV or mobile before bed time , preferably an hour before too - Keep your feet in warm water for 15 minutes or so - Make sure you get an hour of sunlight exposure everyday to reset your circadian cycle - Make sure to darken your room with dark curtains and sleep with the windows open
Q&A
There is this conception of Hot and cold food. It is said that cold foods are the ones like banana, curd,etc. Hot foods include Ragi, Bajra. Is this conception scientifically true?
Smitha Hemadri
10:51 PM | 30-05-2019
It’s a myth. When we have boils or burning sensation in the eyes / stomach etc we say body has heated up and top ourselves with buttermilk or some juices etc, but these are body’s ways of eliminating toxins accumulated in the skin and ways of body saying that the stomach needs a break from oily foods/ foods with diary / sugar etc. if body is fed natural food more, it stays in balance and itknows how to stay in balance. We don’t have to manage with what’s believed to be hot and cold foods. The more raw foods ( fruits vegetables and greens ) are taken in and more wrong foods are avoided ( diary milk curd ghee butter cheese paneer ) sugar packaged foods, people stay healthy in winter or summer equally. Thanks and let us know if you have more doubts

I have today got up with severe fibromyalgia pain. Its inflammation of muscles around joints☹ and it pains like crazy. It had started two three days back but today it is at its worst. But could you tell me what to do... Pls
Asha Shivaram
11:28 AM | 13-02-2019
What I have understood is that the root cause of any ailment/aches/pains in the body is a toxic built up inside the body, due to wrong eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress etc. And as your body is in state of detox so aches and pains are bound to appear. I would suggest you to increase the 3 'R's- raw, rest and recreation. Please also make sure you are getting enough sunlight exposure 1 hour everyday. I would also suggest intermittent fasting - i.e gap between dinner and next day breakfast should be minimum of 14 hours. Apply ginger juice mix with coconut oil and wrap with bandage (garam patti) on all joints that pain. I had fbromyalgia too. Maybe you can get some inspiration from my story. https://www.wellcure.com/health-journey/tags/fibromyalgia

Q&A
Can Eating Fruits Be Considered A Full Meal For Babies?
Anchal Kapur
02:29 PM | 29-03-2019
Of course yes....for babies & adults alike. Having an all fruits breakfast is a very healthy practice as it supports the body's elimination cycle of the circadian rythm. You can have all fruits meals for lunch & dinner too. For babies - six months is only mother's milk. And once they start solids, fruits can be a full meal. For my son, I used to give pureed apple or pear or banana.....whatever was in-season that time. His non-milk meals were either fruits or non-dairy porridges, to begin with. Typically I ensured he gets 2 fruit servings in a day, others could be non-fruit meals.

Are vanilla extract and vanilla flavour the one and same thing
Swati Dhariwal MA, ND,
08:55 PM | 10-05-2019
Hello Vanilla extract and vanilla essnce are both different. The extract is directly extracted from natural beans. The extract is more expensive. The vanilla essence is a synthetic compound. It’s always advisable to read the labels before buying to determine which one is natural and which one is synthetic. The synthetic one is usually very cheap.
Q&A
My 4 YEAR old is having fever reaching 101 to 102 degrees since last night. When we couldn't manage it at night, I ended up giving him crocin syrup. But since then I am feeling really bad about it and don't want to give him any medicine now. I m more worried about when temperature starts to soar. Can you please help me know how I should care for my child when down with high fever?
Anchal Kapur
10:13 AM | 17-01-2019
With my 3 year old, when he was little I would sometimes give him the medicine - but now the doses have been inversely proportional to my growth in wellness journey :) If you are giving medicine, know that you are giving it for your own comfort rather than his! If you are giving, give the full dose, and give without guilt . Know that the body has its own supreme intelligence, and while meds to interfere with internal thermostat, body will deal with it! Just to reiterate, all symptoms of body are, indicators to us that the body’s acid-alkaline balance is skewed. Cough, cold, fever are body’s wonderful mechanisms to discharge and reduce this acidic overload. The body creates fever as a mechanism to purify blood of the infection, so don’t fear it. During this time you should ensure you are able to support your child. This you can do by ensuring you allow your child to rest amply and increase his intake of raw foods. Make sure you are able to give complete rest to the digestive system through no cooked food. Upping the babies fruits, will help during this time. Fruits are best way to keep the raw high, kids usually fuss also less when eating fruits. You could do them in interesting smoothies and home made fruit juices. Feed him only when hungry, don’t’ force feed. Give him fruits every 2-3 hours. You can give him a some lemon-ginger-honey-haldi with tulsi. This can also be done when he has a cough - applying a warm potlee with ajwain in it to his chest or rubbing a little ginger juice with oil on the chest and back also helps. Add eucalyptus oil into his bath. Read this article on Fever https://www.kckidsdoc.com/kc-kids-doc/5-fabulous-fever-facts-fighting-fever-fobia-part-12

Nose blocked. Forehead congested. Legs hurt. Can someone suggest a remedy?
Shweta Gupta
03:37 PM | 28-12-2018
Cough and cold are body’s way of eliminating toxins and correcting our acidic-alkaline balance. During this time our actions must reflect what the body wants. The key element to focus on is rest rest and ample rest. This includes physical, mental and digestive rest. Make sure you steam regularly, to get some immediate relief. Add some aroma oils such as eucalyptus or lavender. Also focus on increasing your rest. Relook at your food, and swap processed foods with raw fruits, raw veggies salads and homemade juices. This will really help conserve energy and help your body focus on repair. In the long run also, as you recover keep your dairy non veg and wheat and grains on lower side, instead make sure you are eating ample variety of fresh, live plant based foods (fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, whole beans and whole pulses).

Asha Shivaram

It means your gut needs cleansing and the body's acid-alkalone balance is skewed. Either fast or stick to coconut water till it heals. Expose the areas to sunlight. You can apply virgin coconut oil on the blisters to soothe them
