Praise
I was introduced to Charmaine D Souza and the benefits of naturopathy by a friend who vouched for its positive effects on our health. I believe in the holistic approach of healthy living as my philosophy is Love Yourself . The best way to treat all root causes and symptoms of any illness even as common as cough, cold, headache, fatigue, and flu is available easily in our kitchen in its most unadulterated form and Charmaine s naturopathy remedies introduced me to that.
I love it as it is a totally natural and drug-free treatment method, safe and effective for both adults and children. And now that it is a regular part of my life, I truly recommend it to all. Charmaine is an ever-smiling, easily accessible angel ready with her list of magical mixes and I am happy to have found her. Wishing her loads of success in all she does always -Bipasha Basu, Actor
Charmaine D Souza is a powerhouse of naturopathy -Padmini Kolhapure, Actor
Charmaine is a magician. Her scientific approach in treating every morsel of food one eats towards healing an ailment or losing weight works wonders. Results are seen within two days of following the diet by even around 80 per cent. She even has a solution to a cheat meal! I am thankful to her for keeping me and my family healthy -Kavita Barjatya, Director, Film and TV Producer, Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd
Being a mum to two little boys who are so full of energy, I have to constantly be at my fittest best. I started Charmaine s programme even before the birth of my second son and I m glad to say I have been able to stay healthy and active despite my hectic schedule. I want to continue Charmaine s magical powders as not only do they help in weight loss but also with overall detoxification and cleansing of the system -Kaykasshan A Patel, Actor
We always believed in the benefit of natural elements, but discovered the magic of herbs and spices when we met Charmaine two years back in Mumbai. The mix prescribed is now one vital part of our life and keeps us happy and healthy in more ways than one. Thank you, Charmaine. -Promita and Sanjay Thapar, CEO, Living Media-Hearst Corp Joint Venture
I have been interacting with Charmaine for the last 10 years. I have found her diet extremely effective-it keeps my body light and energetic through the day. She is a wonderful person and has a remedy for all health matters -Rajesh Jaggi, Partner, Everstone Capital
We live in a superfast, advanced environment and have surrendered to artificial methods of survival with multiple side effects. It is high time we return to our traditional Indian methods of treatment. This is exactly what Charmaine does. She guides us to regain the natural immune system of the body so that we are able to fight disease through common herbs and spices found in our very own kitchen. I congratulate Charmaine D Souza for her in-depth and extensive study on Indian herbs. I recommend her books to all those who are interested in a healthy body and long life. Wishing all the readers great health in abundance -Dr Atta F Khatri, Family Physician
Coming from a healthcare empire, it is easy for me to pop pills any time, but Charmaine has changed my outlook. I go to her book Kitchen Clinic for remedies before popping that paracetamol for common illness. I also recommend her water therapies to all our gym members -Upasna Kamineni, Vice President, Apollo Philanthropy and Managing Director, Apollo Life, Hyderabad
Meeting Charmaine was just by chance. I read her book Kitchen Clinic and threw the desire out into the universe- I want Charmaine to take care of my health . I am a practising homeopath from Mumbai. Nature cure and natural remedies have always attracted me. Trust me, I don t take to homeopath medicines very easily.
In 2013, my metabolism slowed down, I lost lateral one-third of my eyebrows and on investigation, my thyroid hormones were low. According to conventional medicine, I was advised thyronorm, but I refused to give in. I contacted Charmaine and expressed my desire to put myself on the road to recovery with the help of her treatment. Charmaine checked my reports thoroughly and after a good history taking, whispered a quick prayer and immediately penned down a few herbs and spices on paper. What I appreciate about her approach is transparency. My health was literally in my hands! I had a doubt to begin with but I had no choice. I had to go with this treatment as I was against taking hormone replacement.
Charmaine opened doors of knowledge to many subjects just by incorporating herbs and spices and their powders in my diet. I was feeling much more energetic and good, but I still had a doubt as to whether these things would help improve my hormone levels. My doubts and anxiety were relieved at the end of two-and-a-half months, when I re-tested for the hormone. I was relieved to see the hormone levels more towards normal-I cannot speak of it enough! These levels have remained in the normal range even after I stopped regular treatment. I only have to take an on-and-off dose of the powder I prepare by myself in my kitchen.
What I appreciate about Charmaine is that she guides us to handle our bodies all by ourselves, with no apprehension. I can only sum up: Charmaine is helping mankind to go closer to their roots, yes, closer to Mother Nature -Dr Payal Advani, BHMS, Mumbai; Access Consciousness Practitioner, Australia; and Mindscape Healer, Singapore
I call Charmaine my earth angel. In spite of not having a genetic history or any serious health problems, my erratic work schedule had affected my overall health and well-being. Allopathy could not cure my deficiencies or take care of the root cause of my hormonal imbalance which had altered my personality. Charmaine helped me get back my energy levels and restore my imbalances which were causing an upheaval in my whole system. I can actually feel and see the dramatic changes as I keep following her instructions as she fine-tunes my health back to its ideal condition. Her genuine interest and enthusiasm in me and all her clients getting well is touching and I have absolute faith that I will achieve all my health parameters with her gentle, professional, and consistent guidance. She is kind, discreet, and compassionate and has a magic touch. I have absolute faith that not just me but anyone who takes her assistance will always go back with positive results. In complete gratitude of a miracle called Charmaine and of her inspiring work -Kavita Kapoor, Media Professional; Grooming, Etiquette and Communications Consultant; and Personal Development Coach
Charmaine has a natural gift of understanding the human body and using natural ingredients in balancing the body. She has been helping many of my family members and me to effectively address and heal different day-to-day ailments and even more complex ones. I am glad and grateful to have met Charmaine -Madhulika and Abhay Choksi, Director, Hindustan Platinum
Charmaine s organic and holistic process and easy-to-prepare kitchen remedies have done wonders for me by helping bring down my blood pressure, stabilize my diabetes and control water retention. She is a great listener and an astute therapist who tries to patiently understand every individual s needs, body type, and problems before designing their treatment.I am thankful for her help and wish her the very best -Shashikant Choksi, Managing Director, Hindustan Platinum
Charmaine has been helping us with our diet plans and spice mixes for many years. This has made us feel healthier, more energetic, and fit. The fact that the ingredients for the spice mix come from our own kitchen and that the spice mix is also made in our kitchen adds to the appeal of her nutrition programme. Health=Happiness=Charmaine D Souza -Naveen Agarwal, Chairman, Sesa Sterlite Limited, Chairman, Cairn India Limited, and Deputy Executive Chairman, Vedanta Resources Plc
Proper dietary advice before conception, during pregnancy, after birth and later at every stage of adulthood is an essential part of healthy living. We need more and more events to be held on nutrition science to bring about increased dietary awareness. Charmaine s dietary advice, based on her profound study of nutrition science, makes her therapy even more effective than prescribed medicines. It is remarkabl
