How this website started

I started myplanetcure.com after spending three years dealing with a health problem that took longer to resolve than it should have — not because good information did not exist, but because finding it meant navigating through pages of content that either oversimplified everything or was clearly written to sell a product rather than help a person.

What eventually helped me most was a combination of things my grandmother’s generation would have found obvious — dietary rhythm, Ayurvedic practices, gut health basics, reducing synthetic chemicals in the home — and the modern research that explained why those things worked. That combination, where traditional Indian wisdom and contemporary evidence meet honestly, is what this site is trying to document.

I am based in Delhi, India. I am not a doctor, Ayurvedic physician or registered dietitian. I am a researcher and writer who reads the studies, consults the classical texts, tests things personally where appropriate, and writes about what I find as carefully and accurately as I can. Where I have qualifications relevant to a topic, I mention them. Where I am outside my expertise, I say so and link to better sources.

This site is independent. It is funded by Google AdSense advertising — which means ads appear on the pages, but advertisers have no influence over what I write or recommend. I have never and will never write a recommendation I do not genuinely believe is useful.

What we believe about wellness writing

A few principles guide how every article on this site is written:

How we research and write

For every topic we write about, the research process follows the same path:

1. Classical sources first. What do the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and other classical Ayurvedic texts say? How was the practice or herb traditionally understood, used and dosed?
2. Modern research review. What does the PubMed and clinical literature say? How strong is the evidence? Is it in-vitro only (test tube), animal studies, or human clinical trials? We distinguish between these consistently.
3. Authoritative source verification. We cross-reference with the Ministry of AYUSH, ICMR guidelines, WHO recommendations and peer-reviewed journals before making any specific health claims.
4. Practical application. What does this actually mean for the person reading it? What is the correct method, dose, timing, and what are the realistic limitations?
5. Honest qualification. What do we not know? What is the evidence insufficient for? What requires a doctor rather than a blog post?

All articles are reviewed before publication and updated when new research changes the picture. You will find a “Last Updated” date on every article.
