Eye health in children
In today’s digital world, we are fine with children (even babies) watching our mobile devices frequently.

When we find the right points and massage them, we will be able to relieve the pain and improve the health of the respective organs. Interesting concept, I might not have believed it and would have laughed it off if I had not personally used it. My father in law got me the “Health in your Hands” book by Dr. Devendra Vora. That book changed my life!
The concept of pressure points in our body and systemically improving our health works perfectly when we use it right! Sharing some of the things I have got to learn thus far…

However, when it combines with Oxygen, their combined properties make water possible. Water is also known as the source of life on earth.
