No more bearing with health concerns during Festivals

Festivities come with a price on the health, with many common problems cropping up due to excessive eating, excessive drinking or the excessive pollution caused due to fireworks. 

Homoeopathy has home remedies which act as a quick fix for all these problems so you can continue to enjoy the festivities with great fervor and gusto. Festivities need to enshrine the spirit of fun, giving, sharing, and joy. Overindulgence in food is indeed not the essence of Indian festivals but is certainly the way to develop numerous diseases. 

Homeopathy for Gastritis and constipation 

One of the common health issues that most people complain of, following any festival, is gastritis. This is because of the consumption of very spicy or very greasy foods. The high quantities of oil, sugar, and refined flour that goes into making the "special" dishes and sweets during the festivities lead to acid reflux, heartburn, and even constipation.
