Healthy children means a happy family


 Healthy children means a happy family

The music, the joys and giggle, the shouts and fights between two sisters could not be heard. Nor did my neighbors hear my mother's voice either playing or scolding us. The house had fallen into deep silence. Tension and fear prevailed everywhere. My sister was bitten by a snake. She was hospitalized and anti-venom injections were pushed every hour. My mother’s shouts had melted into sobs all of a sudden. My fearless father had withdrawn in the corner praying to God. I was very young probably seven or eight. My sister was just a year elder. Relatives and neighbors rushed in. Words of consolation were heard from every corner. But at that age also I knew no word could console my parents wounded heart. No balm could soothe their pain unless and until my sister got well.  Mischievous by nature, I had always brought smile on my parent’s faces with my harmless pranks. I still remember the helpless me putting my head in my mothers lap and crying. That was the first day in my life i realized how a child health or well being becomes the integral part of family's happiness. I only wanted some miracle to happen so that my sister got revived. I remember promising God that I would not ever fight with my sister if He cures my sister.

My sister got cured. But the anti-venom injections had tremendous side-effects. She got severe allergy with high temperature. Some termed the allergy as measles. I was not permitted to get in my sister’s because measles was contagious by nature. But the fever took toll on my health also. But I had no one to take care of me. I had to measure my own temperature. My uncle gave me a bottle of Dabur Chywanprash. I dipped a piece of cloth in water and put in on my forehead. I took spoonful of Dabur Chywanprash and had it. Luckily I had learned from my uncle to read a thermometer so that really proved handy. Ignored, sick and alone I never complained because I knew my sister needed more attention than me. Slowly my sister recovered. I had recovered much faster and my fever was just a two to three days affair. Slowly the house resumed to the older music.

A family is never complete without children.  They are the source of joy and happiness for parents. A child health thus plays a very important role to keep the house happy. I am thankful to https://www.liveveda.com/daburchyawanprash/ even today. The natural ingredients really help in keeping a child immune from various diseases. The advancement of science has opened the doors for various kinds of medicine. But Ayurvedic treatment which is the age old method of treatment still remains undefeated.
