In this article, I would like to talk about suppressed emotions and how it becomes one of the main causes for any disease. The reason for choosing this topic is the increasing rate of diseases like Cancer, Autism, Heart attack, Depression, PCOD, Kidney stones, Infertility, Alzheimer's etc which I hear at-least one new case every month. Whenever we hear that someone is diagnosed with cancer, we immediately tend to link bad habits with cancer. When I was young, like many others, I too used to think that only smoking and drinking causes cancer. But that's not the case all the time. If that's the case, then why does a 8-year old kid get Lymphoma?  Likewise, when we hear someone in his 40's or 50's suffering from depression, we think its normal due to the hectic lifestyle. We easily blame stress as the only reason for any depression-related disorders. That stress could be due to unhappy job or family. If unhappy job or family is the main cause then why does a 2-yr old...

Coconut is  very good  for health !!!! After reading the previous line, most of you might come to this conclusion, "She is insane. How come a cholesterol-causing food can be healthy?!"  Well, if you think that I am insane and if I agree to that, then I will definitely consider including coconut in my diet to gain some intelligence :)  But I already include it in my diet, which means, I am not insane?! ;) I don't want to confuse you anymore. All I wanted to convey is, coconut is not bad as it was/is told by our physicians. There are a lot of things I would like to share about coconut, may be in my future article. For now, I want you to read the book " Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was A Cure " by Dr.Mary T.Newport M.D.  https://www.amazon.com/ Alzheimers-Disease-There- Story-Ketones/dp/1591203198/ ref=dp_ob_title_bk .  This book is also available in some libraries. In the book, the author explains how coconut oil helped her to treat her husba...

 I would like to share the rarely known benefits of Takra (Ayurvedic Buttermilk/Neer Mor in Tamil). Yogurt is taken in every Indian meal either as a curd rice/ chaas/ Kadhi. While it is already known and loved by many, then what is this article all about? Well, when I ask people about the reason for including yogurt in their meal, I get the following response It gives a satisfied feeling if I finish my meal with a curd rice or chaas It is a coolant Both are right and valid reasons too. But many people are not aware of how to use yogurt correctly, when to use and its major contribution to our immune system. Improper usage of yogurt is not good for the body.

Most of them do good to us and is needed to prevent diseases. These are called "Friendly bacteria (probiotics)" which resid...

This makes the fruit a perfectly balanced one for all the body types and has a rejuvenating effect on the body. From common cold to cancer, Amla has the power to treat almost any disease.

They prevent anemia, induces appetite, strengthens bone marrow, helps in cells rejuvenation, gout, allergies, cystitis etc. Based on the taste of Grapes, its medicinal property will vary a little.  Sour grapes increases Kapha  (Earth & Water elements)  and Pitta  (Fire & Water)  but reduces Vata  (Air & Space)  disorders such as bloating, constipation, paralysis etc. In moderate amount with spices like cardamom and ginger, even kapha people can enjoy sour grapes.

Today I would like to share the most important concept which I felt everyone should know. Its about how our body works. After reading the benefits of natural foods, many of you might be wondering, "if a simple vegetable/fruit can prevent many diseases then why am I taking medications for my illness?! How does these medicines differ from natural remedy?" To get the answer, we must first know how our body works and what is actually happening when we take a chemical drug or a natural food/herb. I want to make the explanation as simple as possible. I am not going to include any biological terms as I want everyone to understand better.  First of all, why should you know how your body works? Does it really matter?? YES! It matters a lot. Lets say you have a motorcycle. If you know everything about your vehicle, you wont look for an automobile shop and you will have the courage to fix it on your own. Similarly, since we don't know much about our body, we rely on doctors eve...

Today I would like to share the wonderful healing power of Brahmi (Vallaarai in Tamil). It is a well known memory booster. There are 2 varieties of Brahmi with the botanical names - Bacopa Monnieri and Centella Asiatica. The name "Brahmi" is used interchangeably. Both are used in Ayurveda/ Siddha medicines extensively for all neurological and psychological issues including Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer, Depression, Dementia, Schizophrenia etc.  Every disease starts in the gut. When it comes to neurological/ psychological diseases, gut health plays a main role. Lack of friendly bacteria in the gut affects the production of neurotransmitters which eventually leads to anxiety, depression, hyperactivity etc. Takra (Ayurvedic Buttermilk) is the best pro-biotic. It is prescribed to almost all patients affected from psychological disorders. This will bring back the friendly bacteria and improves gut health. More about the healing power of Takra will be coming in a future article. In Ay...
