Online Magazine Reading Innovated and Resurrected
Something was lost when print magazines progressed to digital. But what? The words remain the same? What was lost: the artistic impact of the magazine’s art director – the visuals, the layout, the emotional tagging.
Sure; – everybody sticks a photo at the top of a web article; but that just doesn’t cut it. The magazine experience is lost. Many have tried to recreate this with flip book apps – but these are really just photographs of the entire page, and one has to zoom in and out just to read the text. This is an altogether unsatisfactory and unsatisfying experience.
We at Natural Medicine World created an innovative new experience, regardless of the device used to view it on, and retained the joy of magazine browsing – the visual impact and emotional tagging remains the same. No more zooming in and out!
Thus, the rich and luxurious experience of browsing a quality magazine, is resurrected digitally. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have putting it all together!

Women’s Diseases – Men Can Get These Too!
Table of Contents ↑|Men often think that their bodies should work like a well-oiled machine, and thus find it difficult to cope when they malfunction - even more so when they discover they are suffering from a ‘women’s disease’.
The A to Z of Nutrition can Calm our Anxiety
Table of Contents ↑|The link between nutrition and our physical health is well established. Along with a host of nutritional deficiency diseases like rickets or beriberi, it’s common knowledge that, for example, excess salt can lead to hypertension. However, the link between nutrition and our mental wellbeing is not nearly as widely accepted or understood.
Lunch box Staples Unpacked
Table of Contents ↑|Add these to any lunch box and your child will be good to go: cheese, protein, nuts, fats and oils, vegetables, protein and nothing in crinkly paper! Say no to sweets and chocolates.
The Chakras and Energy Healing
Table of Contents ↑|The origins of the ancient science of energy healing are rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism, and date back to the time of the Vedas, four holy books that Hindus believe emerged between 1500 and 1200 BC. All matter is made up of energy, and any deviation from the normal frequency will change the energy levels of the organ or part of the body.
Joint Health – the natural way
Table of Contents ↑|The basic function of any joint is to allow for movement. When joints swell, it’s because fluid has accumulated in the joint. Bleeding in the joints usually follows some form of trauma and micro-trauma can occur due to repeated action of a joint, most frequently the wrist, fingers or elbow.
