"When our mother teaches us to walk when we are kids, we never imagine having to do it all over again as an adult, so painfully. But I was blessed to find my true mother – Mother Nature – who held my hand and helped me not just walk, but dance again.”

What led to the beginning of your Satvic Lifestyle Journey? 

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was only 22 years old. I spent 10 years in the dark doing nothing but calculating the risks and measuring the pain of every little activity. My lifelong love of dancing was now a distant dream. But forget dancing, I could barely even walk. I could barely close my hands or knead the dough in the kitchen. Most heart-breaking of all, I could not even hold my baby properly.

In December 2019, I was also diagnosed with a gap reduction between my knees (grade 3) and ACL (ligament tear, grade 3).  My body was collapsing in on itself and living hopelessly was turning into a new normal as all my treatments continued to fail me.

October 2020, while browsing through YouTube, I came across the healing story of Seema Umashankar on Satvic Movement's channel. Amazingly, she had also struggled with rheumatoid arthritis for 10 years like me before turning her life around completely. So now I was hooked, inspired & ready to follow the lifestyle from the very next day.

What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.

It has been 4 months since I have started following the Satvic Lifestyle and the results have been simply miraculous. After the first few days of understanding the difference between psychological hunger and biological hunger, transitioning to this plan became a lot easier.

Initially I started with 16 hour fasting, sunbathing, morning detox juice, eating my favourite papayas for breakfast and having a Satvic soup for dinner. In the 3rd week of starting this plan, I completed a 3-day juice fast with my husband.

By now, the life sentence of medication my doctors had given me was already falling apart. I realized Mother Nature was healing me from within. And since the end of October, I’ve been free from all medication. So my faith was renewed and I was inspired to start following the rest of the steps, including enema, wet pack, and pranayama as well.

What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?

 I understood the potential of this lifestyle logically, but I never anticipated how quickly the healing would start manifesting once I actually implemented it. Within the first 2 weeks, I lost 2-4 kg of weight and experienced a huge reduction in joint pain. All the lines in my fingers that were barely visible because they were tight and swollen were now visible again. The swellings in my hands and feet had completely disappeared as the toxins that had accumulated there were flushed out. 

When our mother teaches us to walk when we are kids, we never imagine having to do it all over again as an adult, so painfully. But I was blessed to find my true mother – Mother Nature – who held my hand and helped me not just walk, but dance again. All the anxiety and sleeplessness that had haunted me for years faded away along with the rest of my symptoms. 

I recently visited a temple where I sat on the floor for 2 hours. For almost a year, I had not been able to sit on the floor. If I would try to sit on the floor, the next day I would get severe pain in my back and legs, which would take a week to settle down after popping one painkiller after another.

After 4 months of embracing this lifestyle, I’m leading a pain-free, disease-free, and medicine-free life today and have fully reversed my rheumatoid arthritis.
