I’m not a doctor, registered dietitian, fitness expert, folk medicine / alternative medicine practitioner or a yoga guru.

The purpose of my blog is to document whatever I've read about health and fitness and share whatever experiences I've had with health, nutrition, fitness, home-remedies, ayurveda, yoga, pranayama, acupressure, skin-care, hair-care and life in general.

And as you might know, research in health, nutrition, beauty, fitness etc. continuously evolves, and what is deemed healthy today might not be so after a few months or years. So I do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, usefulness or timeliness of any information presented on this particular blog.

Since I'm a fan of home-remedies / folk remedies, I've shared whatever has worked for me or for those in my close circle of friends and relatives. However, when it comes to your health and fitness, do your own research.

Consider the information on this site a useful resource, but talk with your doctor if you’re thinking of changing treatments, altering your current treatment, or doing any other medical-related stuff.



Moreover, since I also share reviews of beauty and skin care products, I'd also like to mention that these are my experiences (or experiences of my guest writers) with these products.

Each person's skin / hair is different; so what works for me (or my guest writers) might not work for you and you may have a different experience with that particular product.

Same holds true for homemade DIY face masks, hair packs, homemade oils, ubtans, lepas etc. that I've shared on this blog.

Even homemade or herbal beauty aids are known to cause sensitivity in some persons. So test any substance on a small area of skin for any allergies, before applying.

The opinions expressed on this blog are either my own or that of my guest writers. Additionally, my thoughts and opinions may change from time to time.

I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed in older posts may not be the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
