Natural Remedy
Presently there are only two approaches to manage this malady. I have tried much and the natural
method works better than others.
1. Improving your whole system as suggested by our learned ancients and documented in Ayurveda.

Physician.
Since I have found the natural approach giving all round benefits also, give a sincere try. This "Food"
helps to cleanse your system and fight back. Moreover, increased intake of Natural Vitamin C guards
against Cancer and Heart ailments...

breathe polluted air.
For best results, soaked Fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) seeds and solution can be consumed.
Add one level teaspoon of Fenugreek in one cup of boiling water in the morning. Switch off

such as Pankaj Kasturi, which contains many more herbs.
