The Vichy Shower is a memoir of my healing journey thus far... my journey to love. It is a story of my life experiences, challenges and lessons, which have been my greatest blessings. While it is an intimate and personal story, it is just a story of being human a story about birth and death, joy and sorrow, love and fear. It spans the range of human emotions, from fear, guilt, shame, anger, self-doubt and grief to forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, peace, joy and unconditional love. It traverses from the darkness of the constricted realm of fear to the light of the expanded realm of love. Forgiveness, compassion and gratitude opened the doorway to my deep healing and led to trust, acceptance, love and freedom. Ultimately, it is the most profound love story of my life!

This book delves deeply and with a strong scientific emphasis into the theories, philosophies, and principles of naturopathy. The book is the first of its kind in making naturopathy's intricacies easier to understand in a simplified form. We have attempted to support each paragraph with evidence in order to convince learning students that naturopathy is a real science and not just a philosophical practice. This book will help the reader comprehend naturopathy notions such as vitality, holism, the body's capacity for healing, toxemia, and the unity of disease and cure. This is a must-read book, and we advise all naturopathic undergraduate and postgraduate students, clinicians, as well as health enthusiasts to read it and broaden their understanding of the beauty of naturopathy. Strengthening the idea will aid learners in understanding the patient and developing treatment strategies, which will finally mold them into competent medical professionals and confident naturopaths.
