Vera Kaur is of Sikh Indian origin and was introduced to holistic healthcare from a young age. In her twenties she lived in ashrams in India, observing traditional energy healers at work, and later wrote the book Diagnose, Treat, and Cure All Dis-ease with Traditional Indian Holistic Therapies. She writes for YOGI TIMES, in multiple languages, about traditional and energy-based approaches to health.
Acupressure for the menstrual cycle
Her article on acupressure points to delay a period covers specific points like Spleen 6, four fingers above the inner ankle, and Large Intestine 4, in the webbing between thumb and index finger, explaining how each is traditionally used to influence hormonal balance and the menstrual cycle. She has also written about the sacral chakra’s connection to menstruation and a five-part guide to restoring adrenal health through yoga, mantras, and essential oils.
Having spent time in Indian ashrams directly observing traditional energy healers rather than learning the practices secondhand, Vera writes about acupressure and chakra work with a level of firsthand grounding that’s uncommon among writers covering the same subjects. Her sacral chakra piece has been translated into seven of YOGI TIMES’s international editions, a genuinely wide reach for content on traditional Indian women’s health practices specifically.
