Individualized Holistic Health Care

Just successfully completed a workshop on “Classical Homeopathy” that ended with a Practical Test - live case-taking with justification for the remedy selected followed by a Written Test and topped with a Viva…and then a certificate that comes with a feedback note that tells you your strength and areas where improvement is required. The workshop meant for busy practicing homeopaths was held once every two months over the weekend (Saturday 10 am to Sunday 6 pm) which includes case taking at the hospital in the evening, followed by witnessing the consultation process by Dr. Amarsinha Nikam from 12 pm to 7 am, a few hours of rest and then a session and hospital rounds at the 80 bed establishment where one gets to see the patients of varied pathologies, the remedy prescribed and the progress made by them. (Check this link for info on cases seen at the hospital http://individualizedhealthcare.blogspot.in/2012/10/experiencing-sublime-joy-of-homoeopathy.html ) The work...

It is raining, damp and moldy...the flu season has set-in.  The virus travels with ease looking for victims with compromised immunity.  People dread to sit next to a sniffling colleagues, co-passengers...they dread the sneeze fearing that they might contract SARS, H1N1(Swine Flu) etc. In India it is not uncommon to see many sneeze freely, some of them seem to derive orgasmic pleasure in the act unmindful and unapologetic to the people around them.   I came across one such passenger during my recent journey from Goa to Pune…and this prompted me to write this piece.    Cupping your hand over your nose and mouth is the most common method followed by us and   it is not the right way to sneeze or cough since the next moment you are most likely to touch the telephone, the door knob, your computer keyboard or even greet a friend with a handshake causing the virus to go viral. To help stop the spread of ger...
