How to Take the Perfect Bath - Part One
It had been an exhausting day. We had just brought the last moving box into our new house and every muscle in my body hurt. You know that kind of hurt where you feel pain in muscles you never knew you had. Yeah, It was that kind of hurt.

High Anxiety and Panic Attacks.
See the little girl in the foreground of this photograph? Looks like she’s fresh out of her Sunday-night bath with her wet hair, a white cotton towel draped over her tiny shoulders like Superman’s cape. In the background is her older brother, sitting at the kitchen table, and fully engaged in a game of cards with one of his friends. They don’t notice her or that Ma is taking their photograph. Looks like she’s warming herself by the ancient oil heater in the living room at 204. But she is not.

Stroke Management in Ayurveda
When there is a sudden stoppage of brain activity because of the improper flow of blood to the brain, it causes a stroke. It is often followed by paralysis of a side of the body that is opposite to the side of the brain where the activity had stopped. There are two types of stroke, which are hemorrhagic and ischemic. The former is caused by the rupture of blood vessels while the latter kind is caused by the blockage of blood vessels. Either way, the proper flow of blood to the brain is interrupted, forcing the brain to shut down its activities eventually leading to paralysis. Paralysis can affect the face, hands, legs, and the whole side of an individual depending on its intensity. It might also lead to inability or difficulty to speak as well.

Creating a Safe Space in Your Bedroom
I opened my eyes just enough to text my husband “help.” I rolled over in agony as a glimmer of light hit my eyes. It felt like pointed shards of glass scattered all through the front of my forehead with each ray of light. My stomach groaned as another wave of nausea hit my body.

Value of Good health
No matter how wealthy we are or how lavish our lifestyle is, if we do not have a healthy body then nothing else really matters. One can just not live a 'happy' life with a body full of diseases. We give a lot of importance to plenty of irrelevant things which ends up giving us temporary happiness and nothing more. We often tend to forget that our health is the most important thing and we should spend a lot of time in taking care of it so that we can live a healthy and a longer life which is far away from diseases, after all who likes going to the hospitals and consuming bitter medicines?
