Common Symptoms of Common Diseases

Have you ever heard that “Home is our first school and Family is our first set of teachers”?  I have been fortunate to have some lovely teachers in my family, especially my grandparents in my growing years. 

Memories of super-chilled winters in Amritsar and my Grand Mother sharing her simple homemade remedies to cure my running nose are vividly imprinted on my mindin fact, more on my heart. 

A lot of what I know about common diseases and their cure is because of her. As a grown-up now, I feel amply equipped to handle some common health concerns, for myself and my family. 

Wondering why I am talking about common health issues? Cold, cough, body ache, skin rash, and many such frequent health concerns are a part of growing up for sure. 

Parents and elders ensure that we are protected from all possible diseases – big and small, through vaccination and precautionary measures. However, some common diseases, if identified well, can be cured at home by us.

“Healthy Mind resides in a Healthy Body” – a big reason for us to ensure we nurture good physical

Healthy Body nurtures Health Mind

Mind and Body are part of the same system, change in one affects the other. Recall how we are not able to focus on our studies if we are constantly sneezing or how even a mild headache drops our ability to think clearly. 

While the bigger illnesses/diseases are taken care of by precautionary vaccinations, it’s the common health concerns that can disrupt our daily activities and peace of mind. 

Hence it’s important to catch them early with their symptoms and know how to handle them with simple medications or home remedies. 

The healthy partnership of our Body and Mind is the foundation of all our growth and development. 

As a parent, we should help our children to learn about symptoms of common diseases, precautions and care to be taken.
