In my years in a health care profession I have acquired

greater knowledge in Conventional  medicine and Naturopathic Medicine.

In my experience in health care industry especially in patient care, I have realized that there are other modalities of treatment can make a big difference in the disease process.  I always have been fascinated by Natural Medicine which focuses on promoting health,

treating diseases with natural remedies and therapies. It identifies the underlying cause of a disease and cures it rather then suppressing symptems.

It works by treating the whole body as a system; it’s not about suppressing a symptom but healing the problem that caused the symptom in the first place. Our body has the natural tendency to heal itself, natural medicine helps that process along. Proper nourishment with

right nutrients help body perform metabolic processes helping in getting rid of viruses, bacteria, toxins and restores its immune responses. Once your body reached to a balanced level it can jump start the bodies amazing natural curative powers. our body has its own

miraculous ability to repair and heal itself when blocked pathways that can relate to your illness removed from the energy flow of your body through accupuncture and Reiki. Then fuel it with right diet and supplements.

A healthy diet and a healthy life style improves the quality and longevity of a person’s life. A healthy diet can prevent various disease and certain healthy food provide great therapeutic benefits to your body. As an integrated and combined component of overall health is by

healthy diet, healthy life styles, right supplements,  positive mental attitude  and even spiritual influences can make a big differece in our health. The choices we make and the lifestyle we choose play an important role in our ultimate health and well being.

My recommended best diets: green leafy vegetables, Fish poultry, lean meat, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes. Gluten free, yeast free and organic foods are ideal. Avoid- Tran fattyacids, Refined sugar,  wheat and dairy products (especially people with allergy problems).

My recommended Supplements: a good probiotic to strenghthen your immune system and

aid in digestion; essential fatty acids such as EPA/DHA & flax seed oil have beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease, inflammation, allergy, stroke and cancer,

There are endless health benefits from many natural remedies. I like to discuss about one of the ingredients used in Ayurvedic medicine that we eat every day and don't know what benefit it provides. One of the Indian spices called Turmeric (Curcuminoids), beside its great benefits on anti tumor effects, support liver health and an powerful antioxidant. The biggest phenomenal benefits it provides it's anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to relieve arthritis, muscle pain as well as joint inflammation. In skin care it is used to heal after burns, hydrate, revitalize, even out skin tone, reduce dryness, and scarring. As we say inflammation is a silent killer. Inflammation is known to be linked with heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, allergies and asthma. Turmeric with its great ability to reduce inflammation, antioxidant power and anti cancer activity is a beneficial additive in our diet to stay healthy. The more natural anti inflammatories we have in our diets, the less chronic inflammatory disease we can prevent. Turmeric is found as a supplement in health food stores also used in every Indian food items.
