THE DOSHA QUIZ

Today I appeared punctually at the spot ,for the Siddha Awareness Camp that was held at rural area as part of the NSS programme of the nearby Ladies college. Instead of overloading the students with different nuances found in the text of Siddha Medicine ,the basic concepts like Tridosha theory,Panchabootha Pancheekarana,Seven elements,Seven body types was outlined.Then few more minutes was spent on ellucidating these concepts. Finally we arrived at the interesting part of the programme - THE DOSHA QUIZ - all students were given a multiple choice questionnaire with boxes to tick near the appropriate answers.When the students were through with it, they were edified about how to interpret the answers they got on their sheets. Although the best way to analyse a person's constitution is only by pulse diagnosis,this dosha quiz nonetheless served to arouse the curiosity of students about their body type.They all had smiling faces at the end of the programme ,since now they had a nugget of advice about their constitution .
I thanked the students and organisers profusely for providing me this oppurtinity and left the session with the gratification that I was able to impart some knowledge among them in the limited time that was offered.

MEDICAL CAMP IN VILLAGE

Hi all,
Been to a village about 50 km from my place for creating awareness among school going children regarding Childhood Anaemia and how debilitating it could be to growing children . Although schools are a microcosm of the larger society and since teachers alone cannot edify the minds of the pupils ,volunteers can certainly make significant contributions ..Being a stickler for nutrition and cleanliness , I was able to relate to kids in simple words using visual means to educate them about the importance of nutrients in food we consume and sanitary measures to be followed.. ..if it's true that a country's backbone is the villages in it , then it sounds sensible that we try to educate them in this aspect..This is the work which we wish to do with compassion. I feel that my country has given me lots selflessly, in terms of culture and heritage..It's now high time to pay back my Mother India, little by little ..I am not a politician, I cannot create any revolution or pass any resolution..but I can sow a seed here and there in the hope that one day it grows to a big tree…

To start with I shall post some interesting information on herbs.So,along with my followers I too will learn something of value from time to time.Here comes the news .......

Coriander acts as diuretic :

how are we going to make this home remedy ?

Coriandrum sativum is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!

It is very easy, first take a handful of coriander seeds.

Then put it in a pot and pour clean water , add some cumin seeds to it and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it .Now it is ready for consumption.

Drink one glass daily , since it has mild anxiolytic effect too you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.
