My Experience
At no other time in the evolution of human history have we been more disconnected from the natural world, and I wasn’t any different. Natural products were only a temporary and a matter of a feel-good factor. I started to appreciate and understand their importance after my diagnosis.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with a rare disease called Isaacs’ Syndrome. Isaacs’ is a neuromuscular health condition that stems from muscle hyperactivity. In the process, I also discovered that I had Lyme disease. Lyme is a bacterial illness that gets transmitted through ticks. Glaucoma also accompanied me. Glaucoma is an eye-related disease that damages the optic nerves. And Membranous Glomerulonephritis is a progressive kidney disease. I faced tremendous issues with my gut, stomach acid, and digestive enzymes. I also developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Diabetes, and Blood Pressure.
My prescription was a huge list with a daily of 42 pills. During my journey, I developed Blood Pressure and Diabetes. Also, I had acute problems with my Gut, stomach acid, and digestive enzymes.
All medicines have effects — good and bad. The side effects of my rare prescription were less well known and therefore I noticed severe unwanted effects. Western medicines somewhat had a symptomatic approach. I had moments of inspiration and consulted my doctor to turn to alternative or holistic therapies that addressed the root cause.
Over time I concluded that ‘no treatment should be indefinite’.
Though doctors did their bit, I had increasing attention across genres that led to my connection with nature. In the process, I was allured by a friend’s rejuvenating experience with a natural hot water spring. He visited Vashist, Kalath, and Manikaran in Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh.
His experience became the source of my information and further research. I was quite excited to know about their association with amazing health properties. He passed crucial information as he wanted me to explore, read, and discover.
I researched and learned that these mineral-rich hot bubbles enveloped a healthy experience. These warm waters are believed to have properties that could heal ailments and remove impurities.
I had the opportunity to speak with some known people who shared certain life stories. Mineral-rich springs helped many to ease joint pain and relieve tired muscles.
I got the necessary approvals from my doctors and reached Himachal. I chose a location that involved a healing ambiance, proper accessibility, and positive vibes.
The moment I arrived; the spiritual hum was palpable.
Finally, I could smell the air of minerals. I spend hours in the healing spring, letting it work its magic. The ambiance of the location greatly influenced the healing symbolizing gentleness and calmness. The experience was visually stunning and imbued with tranquility and energy. I felt the water quench my thirst for wellness and infuse energy into my soul. It’s about creating a harmonious space where healing can naturally unfold. Over days of soaking, I felt a clear difference in my physical and spiritual rejuvenation. It wasn’t only about physical healing but joy and contentment.
My doctors confirmed that the process helped cleanse negative energies and drew toxins. It also stimulated my natural healing mechanism.
