Traditional Knowledge, Natural Growth

For a Contest by Dabur Lal Tail

This is a known fact that massaging plays a vital role in a baby’s development. Massaging helps baby relax and create a nice bond between you and Baby via touch therapy. Touch therapy can do magic on your baby, it eases baby’s gas problems, constipation, tones the digestive system. Properly massaging followed by simple exercise can make Baby more active.  

Being a mother of 5 month old baby, I can see the benefits of Massaging on him. By god's grace my boy is doing very well with no major issues. Based on my experience and observations, I can say that be gentle on baby while massaging and do it for 10-15 minutes. Many mothers might have noticed the crackling bones sound as well, i noticed that this sound was greatly reduced after proper massaging.

Initially one concern that i had was which oil to use to massage my baby so that it could strengthen his muscles. Many people gave many opinions. the best advise came from my mom of using the ayurvedic massage oil which is especially made for kids. I started using it because the best part about this oil is ,its ingredients which contain natural herbs and no chemicals. It’s called Dabur Lal Tail.

Tailon mein tail  “Dabur lal Tail”

As this oil promises it does helps in strengthening baby's bones and muscles. Not only that it makes the baby sleep better. Apart from the well known brand “Dabur”, it promises that its two times faster physical growth as compared to babies who are not massaged with it makes this as a god choice for massaging our baby.

One of my friends told me that her three month old baby is not much active as she does not make much body movements as compared to other babies. I suggested her to use Dabur lal tail as i do and massage her baby nicely twice a day. Just after a month she happily told me that her baby is noticeably faster and tried to move towards the attractive objects which she finds.

Dabur lal tail is simply pure herbal oil. It gets absorbed in skin very quickly and keeps it gentle and soft. I can reckon this product completely and take my words you would not need to consult a doctor for this as well..

Happy Massaging.

An Immune India

 For a Noble Cause by Dabur ChyawanPrash

In today’s world almost everybody leads a very busy life with very less time for themselves. We keep on hearing good things about staying healthy and fit but end up thinking a lot about health and doing very little for the most important part of our life. Let’s not just think about being healthy but start taking few steps to be healthy & stronger.  If each one of us start taking little steps, then it will help the entire nation to become healthier & stronger.

Now, the question comes HOW TO be healthier & stronger. Well, the logic is very simple. The way our body fights off disease depends on how strong our immune system is. As the immune system needs a lot of the body's resources to function well, so these resources must be present in our body whenever these are needed. Once we are healthy, we should enable other also to be healthy. I would list down few points that will help us build a healthy & immune India :

o      It is always best to eat a balanced and healthy diet. One must ensure to have Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, and Fats in balanced proportion. Most nutrients with antioxidant capacity (e.g. .Vitamin C, E, D, beta-carotene) are associated with enhancing immune function. Many people take Supplements to get these nutrients, but I feel it would be better if people try to include vegetables and fruits which are rich in these nutrients. For example Amla and Oranges are best source for Vitamin C. Avocados & Spinach are high in Vitamin E.

o      Stress can affect immune function. So, it is only us who will have to strive to remain stress free. And what would be better than regular exercise. Exercise is a simple way to beat stress and improve mood.

o       Don’t isolate yourself and be Happy- I believe when you think happy, positive, optimistic thoughts, it gives a boost to your immune system. Positive people deal with problems better and are better in reacting to situations of stress.  And remember they don't say laughter is the best medicine for nothing. Having a good laugh till your sides hurt will do you a whole lot of good than you imagine. Trust me it improves your mood and generates feelings of positivity.

o      Stay Hygienic - Washing your hands with soap as often as you can is very important. It is a very small thing so small that many a times we miss on it. Keep your surroundings clean always as not doing so will make us vulnerable to diseases.

o      Regular Health & Dental Check-ups – It is very much important to get regular medical check- up done as it would make people take preventive measures for any health related issues.

o      Help people from lower stratum of the society – India is a country with a number of people living below poverty line. We must take initiative or be a part of few initiatives that help these people with food, hygiene, better health education etc. This way we will ensure that entire nation is moving towards a common goal.

o      Finally, our nation must have better health facilities. And this could be done by the help of government and large private institutions. They should come forward leaving behind all politics and create better facilities across the nation to help people remain healthy. Not to forget that these facilities should be easily accessible by everyone and not only the rich class.

It is said that people having problems with their immune system can become infected quite easily specially Kids. For a child’s immune system to be strong enough to fend off any germs, a number of factors are important including diet, exercise, sleep habits, stress levels and nervous system function. I personally feel Kids spend way too much time in front of their TVs, computer screens, or smart phones and not enough time playing outdoors which is real good exercise and ultimately leads to good immune system. Certainly it becomes the responsibility of the parents to create a healthy environment for them. Being a parent myself and to be sure on my son’s health, I give him Dabur Chyawanprash daily which is no less than “Mummy ka magic” for him.

Not just for kids it should be a must have for entire family as its tag line says   

' Dabur Chyawanprash, the trusted name for your entire family's health' .

A teaspoon of this after meals satisfies craving for sweets and does a significant job of making the taste in my mouth really amazing. This is an overall great product to boost your immune system.

Let’s take charge of our own Health and body and together create an immune & healthier India. 

Take Care.

The Road towards Happiness

In my last blog about Happiness , I wrote that “The meaning of Happiness changes over the course of one’s lifetime.” Matters that causes great problems to a child may be of no consequences to an adult. This is a very easy, but very complicated term that I have been trying to understand.

In this article, I am trying to jot down few things that if we stop doing in our personal or professional life, then we will be happier.  

 Comparing:

 

“Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.”     - Marquis de Condorcet

Comparing oneself to others is the main source of insecurity, sets one up for mediocrity rather than real success, and drains one of inner authentic power.

Now a days, it is very easy for us to compare with others, through Facebook, and hundreds of other social sites. But constant comparison only bring us disappointments. No matter what, there will always be someone who's at least one step ahead of us; and the perfect job, spouse, salary, etc., will always remain elusive.

Elizabeth Weil recently interviewed University of California psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky about this phenomenon for The New York Times. In her article, "Happiness Inc. ," she writes that, "As Dr. Lyubomirsky has found in her lab (and many of us find around the office or at a bar), unhappy people compare a lot and care about the results."

Blaming:                                

 

Start taking responsibility for yourself and stop giving your power away. What this means is “you stop blaming others for what you have or what you don’t have.” This is applicable for both personal & professional lives. In professional life, your subordinates don’t meet expectations, your seniors don’t recognize your hard work, vendors don’t deliver on time, customers are very difficult to handle. In all these cases, you are also to be blamed.

You should take responsibility when things go haywire and shouldn't accuse others because it would not be considered masochistic, it's just empowering—because then you focus on doing things better or smarter next time. And when you get better or smarter, you also get happier.

Being Ungrateful:

Instead of thinking about what you don’t have, try thinking about what you have and everyone else is missing. Sometimes, you would feel that all puzzle pieces of life doesn't seem to fit together, but with time you will realize that they do, perfectly. So, thank the things that didn’t work out, because they have just made the way for others that will. 

Remember that there is always something good in your life and you are in a far better condition than a lot of others. If you don’t trust me, then take a look at the news on any given day, you would find that there is a lot in your life that you should be thankful for. Because this will definitely make you feel happy.
