My father was to visit me, my husband was also worried, but I believed that it will heal automatically, I totally detested allopathic medicine, I was working on myself with variety of Tulsi and kitchen herbs' concoction. None was working.
I just used to muster some courage and energy to get up and take class of my students in the evening, mainly because It made me feel better, I loved to teach, learn and laugh with them.
Finally on 17th January I gave up, and decided to seek help from a doctor, I was detected with a severe thyroid issue, My doctor gave me medicines, which I took religiously and hoped to get rid of them as quickly as possible, after 30 days of taking medicine everyday, when I visited my doctor, he told me I am supposed to continue the medicine for few more months. I asked him, "how many ?"
He said it depends, I asked, "will I be cured ?" He replied, "Might be, Usually people have to take the medicine life long."
My heart was broken and I felt angry. I wanted to tell the doctor, "If you are not sure of curing me , then what and why are you prescribing me more medicines."
Anyways, my husband bought me a bottle of pills which costed us nearly 600 Rs. It was supposed to last for a month or so.
I was heavily disappointed. Being an Engineer and less social person I had never known what thyroid disorder was. So I googled. My friend and family told me that I would be Ok, and its not a big deal to take a medicine every day, millions of people do it, but I was not convinced.
As a matter of fact all of a sudden I started to discover that almost all of my friends had such disorders in their families, the mothers of my students and also my own mother had that and was taking a pill for that.
No matter how much I tried It remained totally unacceptable to me to be sick for lifetime. So I started my serious research, for the first time in my life I realized the power of internet.
I had gone through each and every link and hyperlinks contained in the pages, every possible you tube video about it.
and Finally came with my own dosage, exercises and lifestyle changes in order to fix myself.
and once I got mentally ready to heal myself, which was on 26th February 2016, I simply stopped taking pills.
Starting fifteen days were trying, as I started to feel tired and feverish once again, but I didn't give up. Audios by Rajiv Dixit helped me to have courage to go through ayurveda.
I never went to the same doctor again, after two months I decided to go to an ayurveda doctor, to my surprise when I told her that I had stopped taking medicine on my own, she scolded me, said that, "Why do you think that you are a doctor?"
and when I asked her," are there any medicines available in ayurveda to cure my condition ?", She said, "yes, but you will have to take it parallel with allopathic."
at the end of our conversation, she wrote a thyroid test and asked me to see her with reports and then only she will prescribe.
Next day When I got my reports My joy knew no bound. I was so happy.
I took it to the doctor, she was surprised and asked me what did I do to heal myself. I said, "Nothing much."
But to you my friends I am listing the things I had done :
1. I switched from Triple refined Sunflower oil, to Filtered Organic Peanut Oil.
2. I ground coriander leaves and had five spoons of that chutney for ten days.
3. I chanted Om for about 15 minutes in the morning, stretched and exercised.
4. I kept a green transparent water filled bottle in the sun early morning, took it inside in the evening and had that water first thing in the morning next day.
5. I ate properly.
Conclusion : I personally think that I healed myself within 15 days, because all the symptoms were gone in that time, though I got checked myself after two months.
Now I think that, it was a blessing in disguise, It has initiated my quest to understand my body, mind and soul. Since then I have learned various types of therapies be it Ayurveda, Reiki, Paidalajin, Pranayam etc.
and I practice all of these therapies and techniques to my health every single day.
I believe we are all born with healing abilities, all we need to do is awaken or access that program, and Information plays a big role in that.
