Hello User, The best advice for suffering from anxiety and panic attacks is to take a natural way to treat it. Going the natural way will only help in treating the episode but will also help in preventing it. As the stressors in today's lifestyle have increased be it for a student, a person working at home, or a corporate lifestyle everything needs to be tackled in a healthy manner. A lifestyle filled with green vegetables, fruits, exercise, and meditation is what is needed. Eat: Start the day with two-three glasses of warm water, this will help in flushing out the toxins and improving the state of metabolism by increasing it. The inclusion of vegetable juice in your breakfast will help in giving the right amount of energy for the day. The next thing is going for a head massage, daily at night massage the head with coconut oil and aloe vera gel, this will help in soothing the nerves and reduce the episode of anxiety. Increasing Vitamin B12 and minerals in the diet will help in treating mood disorders. Chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds are a good sources of vitamin B 12. Exercise: Taking a brisk walk in the early morning sun rays helps in treating all the problems, as the sun helps in treating the mood and freshen us for the whole day. Early morning walk is recommendable. Even Suryanamaskar will help in treating the mental issues and will help in dealing with all problems, 12 sets a day is recommendable. If you are a beginner start with 6 and increase it. Meditation: Stop using the gadget an hour before sleep, you can use a fragrant diffuser where you can use essential oils, and then with the smell itself, you will start feeling calm. The next thing is to take 10 long deep breaths, and allow your body to relax, any thought which comes let it go do not resist. Saying the affirmation, I am healthy and happy" release each breath. This will help a lot in calming you. Sleep: Sleep is a very important part of treating any mental symptom, a sleep cycle of 90 minutes should be completed in order to get a sound body. This sleep cycle should be repeated 5 times. This makes 7-8 hours of healthy sleep. This will make your body and mind strong and refreshing. Hopefully, these suggestions will help. Thank you.

I came across a patient today, who had come to me for fatty liver treatment. On taking history I found out that she was eating a full box of chalk daily for the last one year. She refuses to give it up. She is a 29 year old married female with two kids. Any suggestions on how I may help her in a natural way? I have already counselled her on healthy eating and planned a balanced diet for her.

Namaste She needs to get in touch with the earth. She must work with her bare hands. Plant trees, tend to them, water them and be among them. She could grow as many greens as possible and consume them with her salads. Apart from that following the eight principles of health would slowly help her overcome the cravings for chalks. The eight principles are 1 Sun exposure 2 Fresh air. Regulated conscious diaphragmatic breathing. 3 Hydration through fresh, local, seasonal fruits and vegetables. 4 Grounding as I have explained above 5 physical activity as in gardening, yoga and walking. 6 Rest. Physical, mental and physiological. Get adequate sleep. 7 Eliminate. Old matter from the bowels. Unimportant and stressful matters from the mind. Unwanted stuff from home. 8 Fresh plant based food. No animal products. No dairy. No processed or packaged stuff. Only fresh and whole plant based foods. Be happy be healthy always Swati Dhariwal Kayakalp.

Namaste, Please get into the practice of listening to your body. And not your mind. Just learn to observe your self and you will know what your body wants at that moment and go ahead , do just that. Your body has its own intelligence and it knows its wants and needs. Just learn to listen to it and respect it. All the confusions and disturbances start only when we start listening to our mind, othres suggestions, advertisements, propaganda,etc. But what your body needs only your body knows. So this way you will never over do or under do something. Be Happy Be Healthy Always. Swati Dhariwal Nature Cure Practitioer.

Hello User, There are various reasons because of which vital organs like kidneys in our body get damaged. Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels and high blood pressure are the most common causes for kidney diseases. However, obesity, smoking, genetics, gender and age can also increase the risk. When the kidneys aren't working properly waste builds up in the blood including waste products from the food. Therefore it's necessary for people with kidney disease to follow a correct diet. What to eat Eat only plant based natural foods in your diet. Include cauliflower in your diet. It is a source of many nutrients including Vitamin C, vitamin K, and the B vitamin folate. It is also full of anti inflammatory compounds. Have blueberries. They are filled with nutrients and are one of the best antioxidants. Avoid sodium for which avoid say no to added salt and replace table salt with rock salt for cooking. Drink coconut water daily. Have almond milk. Include sprouts and salads in your diet. Have overnight soaked raisins and almonds. Foods to avoid Avoid tea, coffee and other caffeinated drinks. Say no to carbonated drinks. Avoid dairy products and animal products. Say no to processed foods and packaged foods. Yoga Yoga is very essential as it helps in the proper functioning of the body and aids healing process in the body. Practice suryanamaskar daily. Do pranayam regularly for atleast 15-20min, specially anulom-vilom and bhastrika pranayam. Take early morning sunrays daily. Thank you

Oats are supposed to be healthy, are they acidic or alkaline and what impact it has on my body?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
11:19 AM | 21-01-2019
Oats are semi-concentrated foods and require substatial amount of VITALITY in its digestion/assimilation process. We need semi-concentrated food very less (approx. 10% of the total food consumption, consumable weight-wise). Oats and other semi-concentrated food needs application of heat/water to steam/boil to facilitate the consumption. We should not try to enhance the taste to lure the consumption. Please read the following note on pH scales. In brief, let us understand what is a pH scale: Science has introduced a logarithmic scale to specify the acidity or basicity/alkalinity of an aqueous solution. Acidity and Basicity/Alkalinity are two opposite properties of an aqueous solution. Like everything else, in Nature, aqueous solutions too try to achieve a homeostatic state or the state neutrality. The neutral state of a solution is pure Water. In pH scale the value of water as defined is 7. Below 7, all the solutions are acidic and above 7, are basic/alkaline. Acid and Alkaline always try to neutralize each other to become water. The pH value of blood is approx 7.4. That means it is almost neutral being slightly basic/alkaline. In diseased condition the pH value becomes more than 7, usually. With this understanding we confuse ourselves by concluding that we need to make our blood alkaline to have better state of wellness! It is another superstition! If we make our blood highly alkaline that is also a health hazard! Change in pH value or its Alkalinity or acidity in blood is an EFFECT of health. The CAUSE is somewhere else! Addressing the EFFECTSinstead of addressing the CAUSE, is a limited and shallow approach. We cannot carry a pH strip with us to measure the pH value of food that we choose to eat! Nature has sketched an excellent indicator to identify the right food. THE VOICE OF THE ORGANISM (V/O) is that indicator. The taste sensation is one of the major executions of V/O. Other important V/O in identifying the right food are smell, sight etc. The first condition is the food should be in its natural state without any modification; then we need to use our V/O to identify if it is beneficial for us. We should feel good about the food in terms of its smell, sight and taste.If it feels good, it is good for us. Simple! We can skip bothering about pH values. Thank you...

How to keep your kidneys healthy after undergoing laser treatment for kidney stones?
Dr.Tokika
10:16 AM | 24-09-2019
Hi there, Kidney stones occur when minerals and salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, crystallize in the kidneys and create hard deposits .They are also called renal calculi or urolithiasis. Note ; Once you get a kidney stone, studies suggest you are up to 50% more likely to form another stone within 5–10 year. So it is very important to maintain a good kidney health and it's function by eating healthy and living a proper lifestyle . Following are the advice you can follow ; •Reduce or minimise the amount of daily sodium intake. A high-sodium diet can trigger kidney stones formation. •Getting too little calcium in your diet can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. To prevent this, make sure to take in an amount of calcium appropriate to your age.( obtain calcium from food source only). • Increase your daily fluid intake. Dehydration can worsen the kidney problems further. •Drink lemon juice daily. Lemons contain citrate, a compound that helps break down calcium deposits and slow their growth. Two 5-oz glasses, the first on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and another a few hours before dinner, may help break down smaller stones. •Wheatgrass juice can help to expel minerals and salts from the urinary tract, preventing them from crystalizing into kidney stones. • Eating too much animal protein, such as red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, boosts the level of uric acid and could lead to kidney stones. A high-protein diet also reduces levels of citrate, the chemical in urine that helps prevent stones from forming. Avoid these foods for better kidney health and it's functions. •Avoid other stone-forming foods such as chocolate, spinach, tea, and most nuts are rich in oxalate, colas are rich in phosphate, both of which can contribute to kidney stones. • Poor lifestyle habits plays a crucial role in altering the metabolic activities of the body. The changes or alteration in the body's metabolic and hormonal proportion can lead to stones formation in your kidneys. Alcohol, smoking and lack of physical activities or exercises can greatly affect your body physical.

How and why to adopt Jaggery instead of Sugar for Healthy lifestyle?
Prof Dr Srikrishan Sha...
01:08 PM | 09-09-2019
Jaggery (or gur) is made from unrefined sugar, and is obtained by boiling raw, concentrated sugar cane juice till it solidifies. Although jaggery is also made from the sap of coconut and date palm, the one made from sugar cane is the one that's used most widely. Not only is gur better than white sugar--which only adds empty, digestible, natural calories to your body--it also has a number of health benefits, including its ability to cleanse the body, aid in digestion and provide good amounts of minerals. Here are some health benefits that will make you want to adopt jaggery as your go-to sweetener for everyday purposes: Gur prevents constipation by aiding digestion. It activates the digestive enzymes in our body, thus helps in proper digestion of food. That's why many people prefer eating jaggery after a meal. Gur acts as a detox, as it helps cleanse the liver by flushing out nasty toxins from the body. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium, which help prevent free-radicals (responsible for early ageing). It helps boost resistance against infections, hence building stronger immunity. Eating a piece of jaggery daily can help women combat PMS symptoms including mood swings, menstrual cramps and abdominal pain. Jaggery acts as a natural sweetener and provides energy over an extended period of time. Even factory-made honey has been deemed unhealthy because it gets ripped of its nutrients. That's when jaggery steps in! Gur is, however, suggested to consume jaggery in moderation, as it is slightly higher in calories, containing up-to 4 kcal/gram. People who are diabetic or are following a weight loss diet should monitor their consumption of jaggery, as it can lead to weight gain and fluctuations in blood-sugar levels. Molasses a bio-product of Jaggery is now being considered most effective tool for detoxing the body and creating carbon free body. It contains Natural Insulin which is wonderful remedy for liver and kidney cleansing.

Nuts are concentrated foods and require a lot of VITALITY in its digestion/assimilation process. We need nuts very less (5% of the total food consumption, consumable weight-wise). Ideally, nuts should be consumed after soaking in water for few hours to make it softer and reduce the vitality-consumption. Please refer the following note on pH scale. In brief, let us understand what is a ph of nuts: Science has introduced a logarithmic scale to specify the acidity or basicity/alkalinity of an aqueous solution.

Dear Abhinav, Thanks for sharing your problem with us, and we understand your concern towards your health. Let us try to understand what it means from a Nature Cure perspective.Nature Cure identifies the root cause of most diseases as TOXAEMIA - accumulation of toxins within the body. While some toxins are an output of metabolism, others are added due to unnatural lifestyle – wrong food habits, lack of rest, stress etc. If not eliminated, the toxins get built up and cause diseases.When there are too much of toxins to be excreted through the kidneys, they are considerably taxed and consequently, they become very weak. As you start aligning your body to the laws of nature you would be surprised to see how your body starts responding by eliminating toxins and recovering. You can also explore our Nature-Nurtures Program that can help her in making the transition, step by step. Our Natural Health Coach will look into your routine in a comprehensive way and give you an action plan. She/he will guide you to correct your existing routine & make it in line with Natural Laws.

Hello :) It is a very good question. Well I would say Clean Plant based diet and nuts or seeds diet has the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals for the growing kids. In fact the more greens they consume in their diet, that helps them to get the essential nutrients. Therefore a lot of greens, nuts and seeds diet along with pulses can never harm their growth. You can give them plant based yogurt that is made up of almond milk and this helps them with their cognitive functions. Hope this answers your question. Regards

What foods have to be taken and avoided for Kidney stones?
Dr.Tokika
05:55 PM | 11-09-2019
Hi there, Following are the foods you should avoid in order to prevent kidney stones or its reoccurrence. -sodium intake; A high-sodium diet can trigger kidney stones because it increases the amount of calcium in your urine. So a low-sodium diet is recommended for the stone prone. Current guidelines suggest limiting total daily sodium intake to 2,300 mg. -Calcium intake ; Getting too little calcium in your diet can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. To prevent this, make sure to take in an amount of calcium appropriate to your age (obtain calcium from plant source only). -Limit animal protein: Eating too much animal protein, such as red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, boosts the level of uric acid and could lead to kidney stones. A high-protein diet also reduces levels of citrate, the chemical in urine that helps prevent stones from forming. -Avoid other stone-forming foods: Beets, chocolate, spinach, rhubarb, tea, and most nuts are rich in oxalate, and colas are rich in phosphate, both of which can contribute to kidney stones. Some of the best food that can be taken for kidney stones are: - Citrus fruits - the best is lemon which can be consumed as juice or in any form. They help break down the calcium deposits. - Wheatgrass juice can help to expel minerals and salts from the urinary tract, preventing them from crystalizing into kidney stones. - Kidney beans - magnesium-rich Kidney beans contain a lot of magnesium, a compound known to help reduce kidney stones and their symptoms. -Pomegranate juice The astringent and antioxidant properties of pomegranates are thought to reduce the chances of developing kidney stones and ease their passage. So it's a good choice.

Smitha Hemadri
11:37 AM | 05-10-2019
Sir, you can start by eating healthy, juicing a lot. Once your digestion and assimilation becomes efficient, your body will start gaining weight automatically. When the initial needs of efficient absorption is to clean, then you obviously won’t have excess. A clean body gives an productive output Losing or gaining healthy weight happens when your body and mainly your gut is in a good shape to absorb nutrients or shed the excess. The solution is the same for both the cases. Whatever is the imbalance the body decides and fixes it. High raw whole food plant based meal is your solution. Good sleep , exposure to sun, exercises that help you gain healthy muscles. Fats don’t come because you have nuts or avocado or coconut. Unless your body is ready to act on the food you eat, no food will help. The more the body gets digestive rest from cooked and other wrong foods, it will heal u off the your problems and then build you muscles after u work towards it with weights. You cannot eat fats and gain “healthy” weight . You will gain unhealthy weight Start drinking only fruit and veg cold pressed juices for 10 days. Nothing else. 3-4 lts a day After 10 days eat just stomach full of fruits and greens and occasional vegetables for rest of the month and nothing else. Workout in the gym for sometime if you can manage it on small weights / do yoga daily with regular breathIng. You will lose the toxins that have clogged the body and start gaining. To continue a healthy diet and not lose back after that,the following is a lifestyle you can follow this. Follow this :- Morning on empty stomach Celery juice 500 ml filtered / ash gourd juice / cucumber juice/ Green juice with any watery vegetable like ashgourd / cucumber / ridge gourd / bottle gourd / carrot / beet with ginger and lime filtered/ tender coconut water or more pure veggie juice Afternoon from 12 :- A bowl of fruits - don’t mix melons and other fruits. Eat melons alone. Eat citrus alone Followed by a bowl of veg salad Dinner 2-3 hrs before sleep with Gluten free, oilfree unpolished grains or dals 30% and 70% veggies Include some exercises that involves moving all your parts ( neck , shoulder, elbows, wrist , hip bending twisting , squats, knees, ankles ) along with workout. Focus on weight training See if u can go to the morning sun for sometime in a day 30 mins atleast. Ensure that you are asleep between 10-2 which is when the body needs deep sleep. What to Avoid :- Avoid refined oils, fried food , packaged ready to eat foods, dairy in any form including ghee, refined salt and sugar , gluten , refined oils meat eggs fish coffee tea alcohol , oils in any form Avoid mental stress by not thinking about things you cannot control. Present is inevitable. Future can be planned. Stay happy. Happiness is only inside yourself . The world around you is a better place if you learn to stay happy inside yourself. Reach us if you need more help in this area. Emotional stress can cascade the effects. Thank your body and love it Be blessed. Smitha Hemadri (educator of natural healing practices)

Hello User, Anaemia can be the reason for the late periods. Eating correctly is important but along with that, it is also important that the food gets absorbed properly in the intestine to get the essential nutrients present in the food. Also, the hormonal imbalance leads to irregularities in the menstrual cycle. It affects the overall health and your skin is dull because the internal body is not healthy. A correct lifestyle, eating habits and along with this, some exercise or yoga is also necessary for achieving good health. Diet to follow: Eat only plant-based natural foods. Drink freshly prepared fruit juices. Drink coconut milk. Include salads, nuts and sprouts in your diet. Have fresh fruits like banana, pomegranate, citrus fruits. Have fresh green leafy vegetables. Have whole grains like barley, millets, oats. Replace white rice with brown rice. Use cold-pressed oil for cooking. Foods to avoid: Avoid street foods, deep-fried oily foods and spicy foods. Avoid processed foods and packaged foods. Avoid dairy products and animal foods as they are not suitable for the human digestive system and creates health issues. Avoid tea and coffee. Avoid carbonated drinks. Avoid sugars, refined grains and refined oil. Yoga: Exercising or yoga is very important. Yoga helps in treating menstrual cramps to a great extent as it improves the blood circulation in the whole body and also cures the hormonal imbalance. Do 12 sets of suryanamaskar daily. Do padahasta asana, trikona asana, chakra asana, gomukha asana. Start your morning with a short morning walk of 20 minutes. Do deep breathing exercises like anulom-vilom pranayam. Sleep: Correct sleeping pattern is very important for maintaining circadian rhythm and hormonal balance. Sleep and wake up at a fixed time. Sleep early at night at around 10 pm and also wake up early in the morning. Avoid using electronic gadgets 1 hour before sleeping. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I am new to the world of natural health and living….. Have heard a lot about detox diets. Can someone guide me what exactly are detox diets, is it the same as fasting and are they safe for kids?
Anchal Kapur
06:23 PM | 11-12-2018
Hello hello. A natural diet comprising of whole plant based diet is easy for the body to digest & also gives body the desired nutrients to perform its functions. One of the key functions of the body is eliminating accumulated toxic waste. When body gets rest from digestive work (because you are eating easy to digest foods) & also the right ammunition (because you are eating nutritious food), the body starts eliminating toxic waste efficiently. This process is popularly called 'detox'. To my mind, a detox diet sounds like a 'cool' fad, but is infact the whole plant based diet eaten in everyday routine. Its not the same as fasting - fasting means you are not eating!! Safe for kids - ofcourse!! These are our natural foods, nature designed them for us to eat, why would they not be safe? But always listen to your body, give it time to adjust to any changes you do. Take it slow.
