Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR There’s in all of us a soul — prana, or chi — that causes and regulates every physical and mental function. In other words, it is the core — or, indispensable — regulating part that remains flawless so long as we live. Yet, it can get wobbly, at times, more so
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR The propelling action behind all action is desire. It works on a compressed spring called consciousness, which also relates to value. The upshot is simple.

Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Do we need nutritional supplements? Do they assure a ‘surge’ in health for individuals who are already healthy? Just like one size does not fit all, nutritional supplements aren’t for everyone. However, older, or elderly, adults and others with health and other issues may benefit from specific supplements. One should also
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Homeopathy treats the individual; it does not limit its treatment to the diagnosis of the illness alone.
