"विश्व होम्योपैथी दिवस" होम्योपैथी का जन्म। होम्योपैथी में दवाओं या सर्जरी का उपयोग नहीं किया जाता है। यह इस विश्वास पर आधारित है कि हर कोई एक व्यक्ति है, उसके अलग-अलग लक्षण होते हैं और उसका इलाज उसी के अनुसार किया जाना चाहिए। होम्योपैथी ने पहली बार 19वीं शताब्दी में जर्मन चिकित्सक और रसायनज्ञ सैमुअल हैनीमैन (1755-1843) द्वारा व्यापक अग्रणी कार्य के बाद प्रमुखता प्राप्त की। लेकिन इसकी उत्पत्ति 5वीं शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व में हुई थी, जब 'चिकित्सा के जनक हिप्पोक्रेट्स ने अपने दवा के डिब्बे में होम्योपैथी उपचार पेश किए थे। आम धारणा है कि होम्योपैथी का जन्म जर्मनी में हुआ था, लेकिन वास्तव में होम्योपैथी का आविष्कार सबसे पहले भगवान शिव ने किया था, “like cures like “जो 7000 साल पहले भगवान शिव ने दिया था, लेकिन हैनीमैन ने पहली बार चिकित्सा क्षेत्र में इस अवधारणा को पेश किया था। विश्व होम्योपैथी दिवस 2024 थीम विश्व होम्योपैथी दिवस की थीम "होम्योपारिवारिक: एक स्वास्थ्य, एक परिवार" है। भारत में विश्व होम्योपैथी दिवस 2024 विश्व होम्योपैथी दिवस (WHD) 10 अप्रैल को मनाया जाता है और यह दिन होम्योपैथी पेशे के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण दिन बन गया है क्योंकि यह पिछले कुछ वर्षों से आयुष मंत्रालय, भारत सरकार के तत्वावधान में नई दिल्ली में मनाया जा रहा है। अपने 25 वर्षों के अभ्यास के दौरान मैंने विभिन्न बीमारियों के बारे में सीखा और उनका अनुभव किया। होम्योपैथी। स्वास्थ्य पूर्ण संतुलन का विषय है। वैज्ञानिक चिकित्सा में अनुमान लगाने की कोई जगह नहीं है। होम्योपैथी में अनुमान लगाने के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है। यह गणितीय विज्ञान है। गणितीय मात्राओं, गुणों, संबंधों को मापने का इलाज करता है। यह एक सटीक विज्ञान है। यह अन्य प्राकृतिक अध्ययनों के अलावा खगोल विज्ञान के अध्ययन का हिस्सा है। इसे सभी क्षेत्रों में लागू किया जाना चाहिए, जहाँ माप या संबंध की कोई अवधारणा मौजूद है। संतुलन पूर्ण संबंध की स्थिति है। होम्योपैथी शरीर, मन, आत्मा के संबंध में संतुलन के लिए भी काम करती है। ये महत्वपूर्ण ऊर्जा की अभिव्यक्ति हैं, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप होम्योपैथी के माध्यम से बिना किसी दुष्प्रभाव के पूर्ण स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त होता है। #होम्योपैथी #संतुलन #प्राकृतिक #मन #आत्मा मरीजों के बारे में विभिन्न बीमारियों के लिए आए थे। उनके लक्षण मेरे साथ साझा करें। वे जिन बीमारियों से पीड़ित हैं, उनमें से अधिकांश पुरानी और लाइलाज प्रकृति की हैं। ये उनके जन्म से ही और उनके बचपन के दौरान भी शुरू हो रही हैं। अधिकांश रोगी साइटोटॉक्सिक दवाओं के दुष्प्रभावों से पीड़ित हैं, जो उन्हें बीमारियों के शुरुआती चरण के दौरान एलोपैथिक चिकित्सक द्वारा दी गई थीं। ये विकार धीरे-धीरे पुरानी बीमारी में बदल गए, जिसके बाद अधिक से अधिक जटिलताएँ विकसित हुईं, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप लाइलाज बीमारी हो गई, जिसे ऑटो इम्यून बीमारी भी कहा जाता है जैसे ● सीलिएक और गेहूं की एलर्जी या ग्लूटेन संवेदनशीलता आईबीएस, अल्सरेटिव कोलाइटिस ● सीएएच जन्मजात एड्रेनल हाइपरप्लासिया ● थायरॉयड, थायरॉयडिटिस ● ऑस्टियोमाइलाइटिस और ऑस्टियोपोरोसिस ● अवसाद और तंत्रिका संबंधी विकार हमारे समाज में कई विकार पाए जाते हैं और ये दिन-प्रतिदिन बढ़ते जा रहे हैं। संक्षेप में हम दिन-प्रतिदिन अपनी रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता खोते जा रहे हैं, इसका कारण है ● गलत उपचार, ● भारी मात्रा में एंटीबायोटिक दवाइयों का उपयोग और ● कीटनाशकों से उत्पन्न भोजन, ● अशांत जीवन शैली और ● पर्यावरण की स्थिति। हम प्रकृति से बहुत दूर होते जा रहे हैं। अभी भी समय है, हमें अपनी प्रकृति की ओर लौटना चाहिए और होम्योपैथी जैसी प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा को अपनाना चाहिए जो बीमारी को उसके मूल कारण से ठीक करती है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप एक स्वस्थ समाज का निर्माण होता है। होम्योपैथी के बारे में अब मैं आपको होम्योपैथी के बारे में बताना चाहूंगा: आधुनिक चिकित्सा विज्ञान और अन्य चिकित्सा प्रणालियों में कोई सिद्धांत और अवधारणा नहीं है। वे अनुभव और कल्पना के आधार पर रोगियों का इलाज करते हैं। डॉ राजीव होम्योपैथी रिसर्च हॉस्पिटल जयपुर

Lifestyle Changes for Diabetes Management In this article, we will delve into the different lifestyle changes you may take on to better manage your diabetes naturally. From changing your diet and having exercise routines to keeping a healthy weight and limiting your alcohol use. All aspects of your daily life have a big role in controlling your sugar levels. 1. Diet and Nutrition What you eat is key in managing diabetes. The kind and amount of food you take in can impact your blood sugar levels right away. It is key to have a balanced and nutritious meal plan that suits your needs as a person with diabetes. 2. Choose healthy plant foods A diet that’s rich in whole, plant-based foods gives many health gains, including better blood sugar control. Focus on including the following types of plant foods in your day-to-day meals.  Fiber-rich foods Foods that have a lot of fiber are great for controlling blood sugar as they slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates. This helps to avoid sudden blood sugar peaks.  Fiber-rich foods are as follows.  Whole grains (e.g., brown rice, whole wheat bread, quinoa) Fruits (e.g., apples, berries, pears)  Vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach, carrots)  Legumes (e.g., beans, lentils, chickpeas)  Low glycemic index (GI) foods Low GI foods release sugar into your blood slowly, helping keep stable blood sugar levels.  Low GI foods are as follows.  Non-starchy vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers) Whole fruits (e.g., apples, oranges, berries) Nuts and seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds) Some legumes and whole grains  3. Manage carbohydrate intake Carbohydrates play a big role in sugar levels as they are broken down into sugars by your body. So, handling carbohydrate intake is key for best blood sugar control. This can be done in the following ways. 4. Portion control Be aware of portion sizes when eating carbohydrates in your meals. Eating too many carb-heavy foods can lead to high blood sugar levels. Use measuring cups or food scales to make sure you get the right portion sizes and carbohydrate counts. 5. Balanced meals Try to make well-balanced meals that have a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. This allows for better blood sugar control compared to meals that are mostly carbohydrates. Eat smaller amounts of foods heavy in carbohydrates and pair them with protein and fat sources. This makes for more balanced meals that won’t spike blood sugar. 

MENTAL WELL BEING AND HAPPINESSHappiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence (Aristotle).Mental well-being is about thoughts and feelings and how one copes with the ups and downs of daily life. It includes feeling confident in oneself, building and maintaining positive relationships, having a sense of purpose, living and working productively, and coping with the stresses of life. Research suggests that only 17% of the population is flourishing. The rest, 58.86%, is moderate, 14.1% depressed, and 12.1% languishing. It is essential to know that 50% of our happiness comes from our genes, 10% is related to circumstances, and only 40% is under our control. This means that we can increase our happiness through specific interventions. Happy people live longer, healthier lives, are more successful, and positively impact those around them.All of us can achieve happiness and live a prosperous life. Here are a few tips:1) Social connectedness and meaningful communication. This is perhaps the most crucial factor. Good relationships and strong social support are essential for mental well-being. They help build a sense of belonging and worth. Social interactions provide an opportunity to share positive experiences and provide emotional support. Therefore, it is important to take time outs regularly to be with family and friends.We should not rely on social media/technology to build relationships.  Research suggests isolation may be twice as dangerous as smoking.We should attempt to add value to everyone we encounter by being empathetic and also communicate our thoughts and feelings with our loved ones.2.) GRATITUDEGratitude is directly connected to happiness and well-being. We should see the goodness and abundance of life. Gratitude can be learned. A good practice is to share three things we are grateful for daily once we wake up. We can also send a note or letter to someone who made a difference in our life. Gratitude is known to up our levels of happiness in weeks. 3.) Mindfulness Paying attention to the present moment, purposefully and nonjudgmentally, is mindfulness. We remain anxious, either because of past events or due to worries about the future. We often ignore that happiness lies only in the present moment. Therefore, we must make conscious efforts to be in the present moment.Research suggests our mind wanders 50% of the time during any activity. Practicing mindfulness can also improve our focus.4.) ABUNDANCE MINDSETAbundance mindset is the recognition of what is right about life. It is a concept in which a person believes that there are enough resources and successes to share with others (Stephen Covey). An abundance mindset allows us to live a satisfying life. We must exude happiness despite circumstances. We should strive to feel plentiful, creative, and inspired to create memorable and meaningful experiences. 5.) KINDNESS AND COMPASSIONResearch shows that kind, and compassionate people are more satisfied with their lives, have better physical and mental health, stronger relationships, and better immunity. During COVID 19, wearing a mask is an act of kindness towards oneself, our family, and society. There are many ways of helping others by being sensitive and empathetic. Volunteering and donating to charity help others and increases self-worth.6.) MEANING AND PURPOSEFinding meaning may be the highest form of happiness. Meaning can be achieved by applying personal strengths to the service of something larger than ourselves. Taking on a social cause or helping in community upliftment builds a sense of purpose.7.) ENGAGEMENTEngagement is a state of flow that is achieved when the perfect combination of challenge and skill is found while doing an activity. Happiness is one of the byproducts of engagement.Listed above are some of the practices that contribute to mental wellbeing and happiness. Let’s not forget the obvious ones: Sleep and physical exercise Meditation Better organization/Time management Spending time in nature Hobbies/Recreation/Play Acceptance of reality/Wholeness of life Optimism This is not an exhaustive list, but the above-mentioned practices will bring about a substantial shift towards mental wellbeing and happiness.
