NATURAL TREATMENT:-
If an individual takes medicines properly as prescribed by physician but fails to follow rules of nature then his high blood pressure or any other disorder is never going to get corrected. He will get surrounded by other sorts of diseases and disorders too. As a result, instead of benefiting he will face more harm. Thus, if a person becomes affected by any of the diseases he should cure it by his controlled life style.
LIFE STYLE:-
Individuals of all age groups should cultivate habit of waking early before sun rise. After finishing off their daily chores like brushing, washing of hands and legs, washing face should go for walk. One can chose to walk on the banks of river or in forest or any other open area. Duration of walk and the distance to be covered depend on person's physical condition. After returning home a person should rest for some time and then take a bath. Cold water bath is very beneficial. However, depending on the weather, warm water bath can also be taken. After bath, one can indulge in worshiping or spiritual activities. Later, yoga, pranayama can also be performed.
Early morning exposure to sunlight proves very effective. Later, good nutritious food in breakfast and milk should be consumed. In the afternoon around 12 light lunch can be eaten. Food should be chewed properly before swallowing. Work of teeth should not be made to be done by the intestine. One should drink water either half an hour before or half an hour after meals and not in between or immediately after meals. Water after meals interferes in digestion. After meals one should have a slow pace walk for short duration. In the evening time one should eat fruits or can drink fruit juice. Dinner should be very light. Fat rich and fried dishes should be totally avoided. Dinner should be done before sunset. After dinner, one should go for walk of short duration. A glass of milk before bed time is very beneficial.
If one wishes to wake up early then he should cultivate habit of sleeping early. Being awake for late night is harmful for health. One should not cover their face with blanket as carbon-dioxide expelled out will not be able to come out and a person will remain deprived of fresh oxygen. If one is not hungry then one should not eat. This will keep intestine and digestive system healthy. One should never eat in more amount once belly gets filled. Once in a week, fasting is a good habit. Excretion of urine and uric acid etc..... should never be controlled. Even hiccups, yawning, sneezing should never be stopped.
Consumption of good nutritious food along with daily regular walk will avoid constipation. If due to carelessness a person is suffering from constipation then he should immediately get rid of it. He can make use of enema. In the morning time he should consume one glass of lemon juice with 4 teaspoons of honey and go for a walk. This will help him to get rid of constipation.
One should always remain happy. Tension, anger, jealousy etc..... should not be given a place in our lives. Apart from this, one should never lose hope. One should always keep hope alive. Getting surprised or not controlling emotions is harmful to health. Sitting idle is also not good for health. A person should indulge himself in some sort of physical work. Individuals not indulging their body in physical task should become aware in this aspect. Physical work improves health. But, if physical work is done beyond an individual's ability can prove to be harmful. Thus, one should work out till the limits their body allows them. In between rest is also recommended.
