  1. I really appreciate this article because it focuses on natural and home remedies for something that a lot of people suffer from and may not be comfortable talking about during the course of their everyday lives. The same can be said for folks who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome as they suffer in silence while searching for private, home remedies for gut relief.

  2. Namasthé Dr. Vikram,

    I have had a small kidney stone for a few months now, and began taking Chanca Piedra last week. I have in the last three days or so had progressing edema, today waking up with swollen legs, stomach and puffy eyes, cheeks and mouth. This weekend I allowed high stress into my vata imbalance, which is a contributor to dis-ease no doubt. I had spent 10 days alone up in ontario's north at my cottage, and this weekend my parents joined- a complicated and conflicting dynamic of egos. We returned to Toronto yesterday. I am feeling exhausted and rajas. I am a triathlete and am injured in my ribs. Also suffering gerd and hyperacidity. My god, I'm 25! So hum🙏

    Please advise your expertise if you can, from what you can grasp of this.

    Warmly and with much gratitude,
    Melanie Sakowski
