Dr Mukesh Batra's 'Toxic' Calls for National Conversation on Hidden Poisons in Modern Life
Dr Mukesh Batra's 'Toxic' Calls for National Conversation on Hidden Poisons

Renowned homeopath Dr Mukesh Batra, in collaboration with Swami Shailendra Saraswati, has released a new book titled Toxic: Stories, Science and Remedies for a Cleaner Mind, Body and Spirit, published by Bloomsbury India. The book argues that modern life is shaped by poisons extending far beyond the physical environment, including air pollution, contaminated water, processed food, plastic exposure, anxiety, anger, digital overload, and spiritual disconnection.

Four Dimensions of Toxicity

Structured across four dimensions—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual toxicity—the book combines evidence-based insights with practical exercises, lifestyle interventions, and homeopathic perspectives. It encourages readers to recognise hidden influences and make small but meaningful changes to transform personal wellbeing and collective health.

Author's Perspective

Padma Shri Dr Mukesh Batra, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Dr Batra’s Healthcare, stated: 'We often think of pollution as something outside us—in the air, water or soil. But some of the most damaging toxins are the ones we carry within: chronic stress, fear, anger and unhealthy patterns of living. Toxic is an invitation to recognise these hidden poisons and to discover practical ways of restoring balance to the mind, body and spirit. My hope is that readers come away not with fear, but with awareness, empowerment and hope.'
