International Overdoes Awareness.  Is over caring taking us away from our body's own immunity power?   The concept of immunity in traditional medicine came from the fact that human beings are born with a basic immune system which may be weak or strong. Through constant interaction with the microbes in our environment, and within our gut, we learn to fight against new microbes. This helps to strengthen the immune system. Over time, in the name of hygiene the excessive usage of insecticide, microbicidal agents, and lack of interaction with nature (plants, soil and external organisms) has gradually made our immune system weaker. Immunity, as we understand through modern medicine is the function of certain cells, enzymes and immunomodulatory chemicals that attack pathogens preventing them from disease creation. This concept of invasion from microorganisms on the biological defense system led to the development of antibiotics and vaccines. However, with the developments of auto-i...

Most of their names become a part of our text books as titles of many theories, hypothesis or formula. Least we know is about the 7 scientists whose origin was in this country who were the cause in the matter. However, in the making of our history, they became less known, neither for their achievements nor as a part of our history.  One of them is Agastya , who lived for centuries, and the reasons for lot of scientific practices (we called them rituals) followed even today. Agasthya muni was one of the 7 renowned Vedic sages (scientist in today's context), and an influential scholar of the Indian subcontinent.

As my interaction continued, I was surprised to know on the steps and actions they had initiated in Bihar in various areas of development in the areas of health, education, youth empowerment, etc. Was inspired to see their hope and their power to shape the future in the state.  This is not the first time, I have come across young people being hungry for better options.

He is one of the team members  among the Clinical team of Integrated system at WELLBEEING.  High numbers of young people taking risks and trying to reach a better life, and willing to take drastic...

A wareness on our Immunity, Immunization and our Body's Resilience. The immunity or our body’s defense mechanism can be compared to our National defense system.

Irrespective of the type of invasion, the defense system should always be healthy, replenished for their daily administration, training and operations.

21st century children are different from children of the past. While their IQ (Intelligent quotient) is high compared to the older generation; but their EQ (Emotion quotient) is low, being hampered with less parental time and attention, skip stages in their development. Advancement in technology today has become a part of us and our lifestyle today whether we like it or not. Our homes are crammed with devices and electronic gadgets that previous generations couldn't even dream of. Surely our children should be growing happier every year isn’t? It’s essential in childhood for the emotional stability, which largely comes from feeling cared-for and secure.
