Our mental  stability and peace is also very important  for  our wellbeing because our discomfort  in our mind is responsible  for so many diseases.

  For our trifle ailments like colds, headaches  and bodily  pains,we needn't rush up to the doctor.After a day or two they  will automatically  vanish, because our body produces  toxins in itself  and immunity developsand it works as an antidote.That is why they say,"The colds  cured after taking a medication  in 7 days or in a week without taking any medication.
