Donation as an Upaya
One of the most effective remedial measures is donation. The classical texts suggest , for example, that if a person is sick and wishes to quickly shed the karmas producing the illness, he can make a donation to a hospital or to a sick person. The concept is quite simple and direct. The theory of karma suggests that if we are experiencing ill health, it is because of some negative "papa karma" from the past that is specifically related to health. The obvious couter measure would be to spend our time and energy promoting good health for ourselves and others.
Donating money to a sick person or to a hospital or to an organization that is devoted to healing is a very easy and effective way to produce "positive health karma". My favorite place to make such donations is to the Sri Onkar Singh Memorial Trust in india. This as a non profit organization that was started by a group of Doctors in India who decided to donate their services several times a year to do free medical camps. One of the founders of this organization was Dr. K.S. Charak. Dr. Charak is surgeon, long time friend and fellow astrologer. He is also one of the leading authorities on medical astrology in the world. Since this is a small organization it is unincumbered by administrative costs and red tape. Literally every cent you donate goes to directly help poor villagers in India receive free medical care and urgently needed surgeries. I can't think of a better way to work out health karma than by making a donation.
