An informative article by Dr. Dorland Martins, a Homoeopath and a friend...


The human body is brilliant, truly brilliant.We as humans have survived as long as we have because of the wisdom of the body. Sadly, there is a strong tendency to assume that symptoms are something wrong with the body and must be treated, or suppressed.
In fact symptoms are a vital effort of the organism in response to stress or infection, and are the body’s best effort to defend and heal itself. The body creates fever, inflammation, pain, discharge etc in order to defend and heal it.

Fr. Britto Joseph S.J. - Empowering Health Care

Meet my first Guru who reignited my latent passion in nature consonant medicine. Fr. M. Britto Joseph s.j. a Jesuit Priest, belonging to the Madurai Province, is credited with evangelizing and proselytizing Naturopathy and Homoeopathy in India. Affordable and safe health-care has always been a need and it still continues to be a necessity for the majority of the population (middle-class and rural) in India, a country where  major share of one’s earning is spent on housing and food, savings are meager, often liquidated by medical and hospitalization expenses.  Families often end up in huge debt.   A country that enjoys a rich heritage medicine system in the form of Ayurveda and Naturopathy is today a victim of lifestyle diseases that is only burdening the existing inadequate health-care facilities in India.   It is against this background we can come to appreciate the value of Fr. Britto’s mission. Fr. Britto has done a yeoman service through his mis...

Right Labor ≅ Right Exercise ≅ Right Vocation ≅ Right Health

"I have no more than twenty acres of ground," he replied, "the whole of which I cultivate myself with the help of my children; and our labor keeps off from us the three great evils - boredom, vice, and want."  ~ Voltaire Life and labour are synonymous. But we are trading our wealth for labour. People who do not do physical labour are considered privileged and those who have no option but engage in physical labour are considered unlucky. What we need to be aware of is that too much labour kills and that too little labour also kills. Each person should find according to his constitution how much labour and what kind of labour is best suited for his temperament. We need to choose the right labour –for our body, mind and soul... The health of our cells depends not just on the nutrition we get from our diet, the stimulation it gets from various form of exercise but also from the intellectual and spiritual nourishment it gets as part of   the process of its...
