Who does not want to enjoy the best of health? While everyone desires good health, rapidly changing eating habits, work patterns, and living styles are affecting human health. Trends indicate that people tend to rush to specialist doctors even for minor ailments, go through a series of diagnostic tests and eventually consume potent drugs that may be prescribed as a remedy.

The Ayurveda is the oldest of traditional healing guides that Hinduism has to offer us. In this system, diet, herbs, water, minerals, and the mind-body connection are all components that contribute to healing. Mother Nature provides all the clues to heal you – such as you feel tired after a busy day when the body needs rest, your stomach gets upset when you eat too heavy and spicy food and you are unable to sleep if you suffer from stress due to worries.

Your body is endowed with powers to heal itself but you must pay attention to the natural clues, stop overloading your systems, and follow simple remedial steps.

Did you know that many of the organic foods we consume have healing powers in them? For example:

• Ginger has a well-deserved reputation for relieving an uneasy stomach.
• Turmeric has disinfecting properties. It is used to heal throat infection and help to relieve colds and cough.
• Onion serves as anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiviral remedy.
• Cinnamon helps to stabilize blood sugar.
• Bananas are known for their antacid effect that guard against damages from stomach ulcers.

At last, modern science is beginning to uncover the power of spices and herbs that we have used for many centuries as home remedies.

In addition to the choice of simple and healthy food, one needs to develop a healthy mind through a disciplined life. The power of mind over body is amazing.

Qualities like anger, jealousy and greed can affect the stomach or interfere with digestion.

Constant worry and nervous attitudes lead to wasted energy and weakness.

It is possible to strengthen one’s mind through meditation and simple spiritual exercises. For example, yoga and other forms of meditations are known to improve health.

Phenomena like the “placebo effect” reveal the amazing healing power of mind.

Hinduism helps to improve Health. Unleash your innate healing power by heeding nature’s simple clues and changing your approach to finding remedies.
