A new approach to life

Health An alternate therapy to kick your old habits that die hard
It started with just one or two a day and now I can’t live without it. It relieves my stress and makes my mind alert.
How often do we hear people say this when asked to quit smoking or any other addictive habit? For a few, what started off casually as a stress buster grips them so gradually that they don’t realise they are getting addicted. Many people desperately wish to release themselves from a toxic practice, whether it is alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual addiction, negative thinking, insomnia or depression.
To address multiple issues on how to overcome numerous toxic habits, the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol in association with 7-Radiations-SATCH (Sanctum of Alternate Therapies and Conscious Healing) will conduct a workshop for the first time in the city. The session focuses on complete wellness therapy using standardised auricular-acupuncture techniques that deal with any kind of craving or addiction or emotional, behavioral and mental restlessness. The treatment deals with both acute and chronic pains that many suffer quietly.
Suneel Vatsyayan, Chairman of NADA India Foundation says, “The therapy aims at bringing new life for those who want to overcome any kind of disorder or pathological pain through relaxation techniques.”
J. Maria Doss, a medical practitioner from Bangalore, talks of the benefits of the therapy. “Auricular-acupuncture therapy aims at treating people without using any medicines,” she says. “It is safe and globally accepted technique that has no side effects and follows simple relaxation methods. By identifying the points such as shen men, sympathetic, point zero, tranquilizer and lung point in the auricle (external ear), the urge to smoke or drink will be viewed in a different perspective altogether.” She says the person will be transformed and able to withdraw from any type of addiction.
R. Rachana, alternative therapist of 7-Radiations-SATCH, explains the methods used. “Each treatment is case specific and lies in identifying the right points in the ear. Probes help in identifying the pathological points and treating them accordingly.”
A workshop will be held by NADA protocol on Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. at 7 Radiations-SATCH, Pedawaltair. The entry fee is Rs. 1000. For further details phone 9885103556 or email rachanaa.nitin@gmail.com.

A Journey That Became Purpose

By
A Journey That Became Purpose By Sagar Kumar Jha Some journeys don’t just build your career—they shape who you are. My time with the Nada India Foundation has been one of those journeys. I joined as an intern, not fully aware of how deeply this experience would influence me. What began as a learning opportunity soon became a space where I understood the real meaning of public health, community connection, and grassroots impact. Working on community profiling in Haryana taught me that public health is not just about data—it is about listening and understanding people’s realities. Leading a team of 30 peers for a tobacco cessation project further shaped my confidence and sense of responsibility. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was working closely with minors consuming tobacco and engaging with shopkeepers who sold these products. These interactions helped me understand how awareness gaps, social norms, and accessibility contribute to the problem. This experience la...

Meaningful engagement of Students and Young people to combat the threat posed by the tobacco industry #TobaccoExposed

By
EXPERT OPINION TOBACCO- A BIGGER KILLER THAN CORONAVIRUS? Jun , 2020,  Prof. T K Thoma The day before yesterday [Sunday, 31May], the annual World No Tobacco Day was observed by the World Health Organization [WHO] and member countries. Two significant points may be pointed out. First, this year’s World No Tobacco Day coincides with the coronavirus pandemic and second, the United States, one of the major funders of WHO has quit the UN body. Incidentally, the US is home for some of the largest cigarette manufacturers in the world like Philip Morris and Altria. The theme of this year’s World No Tobacco Day is “Protecting Youth from Industry Manipulation and preventing them from Tobacco and Nicotine Use”. This may be a deviation from the usual generalized and victim-centred themes for the Day since the starting of this annual Day in 1987. The WHO has taken courage to take the bull by the horn by confronting the tobacco industry’s belligerent promotion of campai...

Finding Amritsar: Haryali, Trauma and the Social Nature of Healing

By
This journey through Amritsar reaffirmed a simple belief: healing grows through people before prescriptions, through communities before institutions, and through hope before recovery. Prevention, after all, is social. During my recent visit to Amritsar, I discovered a different Punjab. Outside the state, Punjab is often seen through the lens of Udta Punjab —a story of drugs, addiction and despair. What I experienced, however, was another Punjab: a Punjab of Hariyali (greenery), resilience and hope . One of the most meaningful moments of my visit was meeting Dr. J.P.S. Bhatia , whose family represents three generations of psychiatrists. As we spoke, he reflected that Punjab has endured repeated historical trauma and that much of it has quietly travelled from one generation to the next. There was a pause in his voice that conveyed more than words could. This was my second visit to Amritsar. My first was to the Border Security Force  Punjab Frontier while working on stress, alcohol ...
