He loves nature and his interest in herbs is never ending. He has been reading herbal and Homeopathy books at home for the last 10 years and has helped to cure some of his friends and relatives successfully through his God given gift of knowledge. He believes that we need all medical sciences to lead a healthy life although he has found that many Allopathy drugs have too many side effects as opposed to the alternative medicines which if prescribed with due attention and care

would bring relief without any side effects.
