Words: Dr Chaithra S RAO Achoo… The word is derived from onomatopoeia — a thing, or action, corresponding to a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it. Add it to, sniffles.

Dr Priyanka BORAMANI responds to ThinkWellness360 questionnaire: Your view on beauty? Beauty, for me, is being comfortable with yourself. If you are comfortable with the colour of your skin, also the skin of your thought, to use a timeless metaphor, it would invariably translate into increased self-confidence.

Dr Kanchan Umesh SHETTY responds to ThinkWellness360 questionnaire: Why and how did you think of becoming a doctor? I had come across this quote, in my formative years, that only two professions in this world have it in them to give you the feeling of care and compassion — teaching and medicine. I always wanted

Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV This is my approach to flu treatment. As homeopaths we are taught that that when a person develops an acute illness, one of two things may be going on: first, this could be an exacerbation of their chronic complaints.

Words: Dr Richard FIRSHEIN Many people use the words vitamin and supplement interchangeably. Technically, this is inaccurate.
