Hi! My daughter has very dry hair that become difficult to manage. Any suggestion on some natural shampoos to get rid of dryness?

I can tell you two things - First - It's best to avoid chemical based harsh shampoos and conditioners. You may feel theywill improve your hair, but trust me its only short term. Look around for natural ingredients based shampoo. I know someone in Gurgaon, my neighbor in fact, who does natural shampoos, free from SLS, paraben, etc. If you want I can put you in touch with her. 2nd - All my life I had dry hair. They looked very rough. But since 2015, when I changed my diet to whole plant based, my hair became shiny & manageable. No matter what you do externally for your daughter's hair, pls don't ignore that she has to be well nourished from within too. Fruits, a generous serving every morning & evening, fruit juices, fruit smoothies, veggie juices, coconut water - basically look for high water content food.

First of all, congrats on deciding to detox. Can i ask what steps have you taken to detox ? Is this a lifestyle change / diet for sometime ? When you go healthy in whatever way you have chosen, your body eliminates the toxins you wanted to shed. However, how and when it will shed is not known to anyone. This is called the healing crisis period and you must expect all the unexpected issues including emotional outbursts at this time. The advice is to not think "medicinal" and supress that with herbal / any form of drinks. Instead continue the healthy lifestyle and let the body do its job. When we decide to detox, we must also decide to stop thinking "medicine" that relieves the discomfort. In the continual process of removing such discomforts, our bodies become abused and collect toxins. So we must get out of this mindset of stopping the elimination.

Roasted peanuts are my all time favourite. Also cashews, raisins, dates, apricots, anjeer, murmure. Bhel puri in evening made with lots of tomato, cucumber, onion, dhaniya, imli chutney, salt, green chilli is awesome.

There is no shortcut to good health dear 😊. Try this. 1. Let ur first meal of the day be fruits. 2. Carry healthy snacks to work. Make a snack bar at office - nuts, makhana, chana, dry fruits. 3. Every 2 hours, take a break, stretch, close ur eyes and relax. 4. Always keep a fruit in your bag. Whenever you feel hungry, have the fruit. Replace tea/coffee with fruit. 5. Carry a box of salad for lunch. 6. Take stairs instead of lift to get your body moving. 7. Don’t take stress. When stressed, take a break and divert ur mind. 8. Spend 10 minutes in the early morning or evening sun. You may schedule an official call during that time and take it with the sun!! 9. Keep lemons, knife and squeezer in office. Have 1-2 lemons everyday. 10. When on the road, stop for few minutes to have coconut water.

Oil free Aloo Matar
Here is another daily recipe - done in a healthful manner. Dairy should not be combined with other food groups (if you are consuming it, have it alone). Instead of dairy we have used cashew nuts - a whole food which provides natural oils to us. We have also done this recipe oil free, as refined oil just adds to our digestive overload.

Hi, Any home remedy for pink eye in kids caused by viral infection? Thanks!!
Anchal Kapur
12:30 PM | 25-11-2018
By pink eye, I assume u mean conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis is an inflammation in the eyes due to dust, pollen or germs in the air. When any of these interfere with the conjunctivia of the eyes, our body releases antibodies to deal with these foreign invaders. This is an absolutely normal body function and we should be grateful that body is trying to protect us from foreign particles ?. Symptoms such as itching, watery eyes, etc are body’s way of dealing with unwanted materials. Staying aligned to nature’s laws will help eyes restore their balance. Here are a few things you could do for your child- 1. He/she should Eat light as when body gets digestive rest, it can focus more on healing. Fruits, fruit juices, coconut water, nimboo paani. If he/she feels hungry after these, u could do veggie juices, soups and salads. Any other type of food to be strictly avoided. If there is an urge to eat cooked food, give simple khichdi. 2. Clean eyes with clean water every few hours. 3. put rose water or haldi water eyepads. Both have anti inflammatory properties. Boil water, add haldi, let it cool, dip cotton, squeeze and put on kid’s eyes. You could also use rose water eye drops, but ensure good quality organic rose water. 4. Very important - sun gazing - Make ur child look at the early morning sun. It shouldn’t be harsh, use your judgment. And if in doubt, just sit in sun. If child is very uncomfortable, do show him to a doc and continue to support child’s body naturally through the above. Good luck dear.
Q&A
Hello all! Is there a natural cure to uc? I have been on a heavy dosage of allopathic medicines.
Anchal Kapur
12:10 PM | 20-11-2018
Hi. Ulcerative colitis means ulcers in the colon / large intestine. Any ulcers that we get in our body are a manifestation of excess acidity in our bodies. They are body’s way of telling you to reduce acidity & restore the acid-alkaline balance. You can do so by eating foods that are natural, by staying calm & believing that all will be well and by resting a lot. Hence, UC is a problem that you can definitely get rid of. You don’t have to suffer from it for life!! If you take allopathic medicines, they might give you temporary relief. But UC will keep recurring every now & then because medicines never treat the root cause of a problem. I myself had ulcerative colitis and was on lifelong medication. Then I came across the natural way of living and made changes in my life. I have been medicine free & free from colitis since then. You can read my story in Health Journeys. I’ll be more than happy to answer any queries that you may have.

My mom is allergic to dust. Her nose starts running and head becomes heavy with dust. She takes cetrizine. Any suggestion for natural relief?
Sumeet Kapur
10:51 AM | 20-11-2018
:) reminds me of a close friend who was almost addicted to cetrizine the same way! But can also understand the need for relief because the reaction can really make it impossible to be functional. Everyone is looking for “quick fix” :) And thats the lesson. Plz suggest her to rest rest rest. ?? If she cannot follow a regimented routine just listening to the body and being patient - she will notice a shift. I'd remind my friend to take a 15min power nap (total rest) and then if she wants she can pop the pill. Next time i'd suggest 30 min and so on. And now she has shifted gradually to not reaching out for a pill at the first instance. Hope this works!!

Q&A
Hi. Any suggestions for blood from nose. It's not much but just drops sometime. Not sure if it is due to heat, guess that might be the reason.
Anchal Kapur
10:27 AM | 20-11-2018
Hi! As a kid, I would often suffer from nose bleeding in summers. It was basically because the sensitive nerves in the nose would rupture due to heat. The blood used to gush out quite quickly, it was quite scary. As I grew up, it became ok on its own. I think what really worked for me was multaani mitti. My mom would wet it & give it to me for inhaling deeply. It had a cooling impact & maybe my nose nerves became stronger too with the deep breathing. I would do this as a preventive measure, almost everyday, without waiting for the bleeding to begin. I used to avoid over-exposure to the summer sun & would use a cold pack on the nose & wet my head whenever there was nose bleeding. I would suggest you try the multaani mitti remedy & see if it helps. Watch it for sometime, else visit a naturopath or natural health expert.

Pls help me with a remedy for bad throat, have been taking ginger honey. But seems to be a mild remedy.
Rishi Arya
01:30 PM | 19-11-2018
Make sure to avoid tea, coffee, fizzy or bottles drinks during this period (or even later!) They do add a lot of damage to sore throat. Instead focus on increasing fruits … a lot of it in your daily intake. This will avoid long term recurrence.
