Health is wealth

I went to a bookstore to get some greeting cards for Eid and dear oh dear it was a real puzzler. Every card was designed with either red roses or red hearts and if you find something less glittery then it is for children. Goodness it was difficult to find appropriate cards.   

After a long scrutiny I did manage to buy some good greeting cards. Wishing everyone by a call or even better with SMS is fine and easy but it lacks that personal touch. 

My head and nose are jammed with flu but thank God no fever. October being a dusty dry season is mostly responsible for hay fever, sinus, flu or asthma so if any one of you suffers from asthma or sinus then look after yourself well, especially children they are more prone to getting ill in this season.

I have and tested this and if you like you could use these acupressure methods on both adults (for 2 minutes, twice a day) and children (for 1 minute, twice a day).

For sinus, press all fingertips of both hands together. With children moms can smoothly rub the finger tips for sinus relief. Rubbing of finger tip is also good to relax brain as they are the points for brain as well, for  both children and adults.

For asthma or allergies apply (two minutes, twice a day) deep massage like pressure on the adrenal, kidney point on the palm of your hands. It is the plump area right below your thumb. For children you can smoothly rub lower half of hand for 1 minute.

Or if you like get yourself a golf ball. Roll the golf in entire palm area of both hands for 5 minutes (with 15-30 seconds of rolling and then stopping for 15-30 seconds) 4 times a day; before breakfast, noon, evening and at bedtime. The gap is so you would not hurt your palms. This technique will not only give you overall health, but relieve you of any bodily pain, relaxes you and ultimately heal the body. Use it for 2 weeks after which you will see the results and then make it in your routine.

I keep my golf ball always handy.

I can share with you really good harmless treatment for people with dry or extra dry skin they could use liquid paraffin. Immediately after taking bath on wet body apply liquid paraffin all over. It can be used in any season on both face and hands. I have a sensitive dry skin problem so I keep a little bottle filled with paraffin in my purse and I use it as a moisturizer.

Beyond everything please do look after yourself if you feel even a slight disturbance any where in your body then do go the concerned doctor for check up. It is wise not to ignore any recurring symptoms even it is a headache or constipation or slight pain. Body gives us subtle messages by giving us little aches here and there. I always tell everybody to please avoid fatty or spicy foods, smoking, cold/soft or hard drinks, starchy food.

It is funny that I have seen quite a few educated people who when getting a specific Smoker’s Cough start taking cough medicine because they believe that its chest congestion- classic case of denial. Smokers Cough can be easily recognized among other type of coughs, it is loud and scary. Unfortunately by the time it occurs mostly some kind of lung damage has already taken place.

Then there are people who give me justification that life and death are in God’s hand. Irrespective of what we do we are going to have the life span which God has given us. Yes that is true life is in God’s hand but how you spend your life is actually in Your hands. Either you want to be reckless, addicted to unhealthy habits and spend life in pain, roaming in hospitals and ultimately torturing your loved ones. Or you want to make healthy and responsible choices to live in wellbeing.

One life one choice- take it or leave it….

Good Night & May you all live in health & prosperity.
