If I were to ask whether you had any experience with traditional medicine, what would the answer be?

The splendor of mother earth is enriched with vast and different forms of beauty. The existence of the human race and the flora and fauna on the face of this earth adds in more magnificence to it. Releasing the aesthetic soul within to caress the beauty around one, one can perceive the abundance of beauty everywhere; the vast blue sky, the full moon, the flock of birds flying together, the morning sun, the green pasture, the dew on the grass, that beautiful smile of the girl, the innocent laughter of the children playing along…the list is too numerous to list down, but this testifies one fact- that beauty is everywhere around us.

It is a simple and natural act but saves our day from to the blues. It is when the corner of your mouth turns up, and when your cheeks come out round and lifted with a brush of a blush, your eyes wrinkle or disappear and your dimples come out (if you have one);we find our self-shining without making any effort.
