Dr. Mukesh Batra Launches Book 'Toxic' with Amish Tripathi
Renowned homeopath Dr. Mukesh Batra launches new book. Explores toxicity beyond pollution.

Renowned homeopath and wellness pioneer Dr. Mukesh Batra officially launched his latest book, 'Toxic: Stories, Science and Remedies for a Cleaner Mind, Body and Spirit', in conversation with bestselling author Amish Tripathi. The book launch took place in an evening marked by profound reflection and compelling dialogue.
The book, published by Bloomsbury India, expands the understanding of toxicity beyond environmental pollution to include the invisible yet pervasive toxins of the mind, emotions, relationships, and spirit. Dr. Batra reflected on what inspired him to broaden the conventional understanding of toxicity, stating that toxicity is also present in thoughts, emotions, relationships, and belief systems.
Amish Tripathi echoed this sentiment, observing that Indic civilisation has long emphasised inner purification as the foundation of well-being. He noted that material progress is important, but civilisations endure because of inner balance. The conversation then turned to one of the book's most resonant themes—relationship toxicity. Dr. Batra emphasised the importance of distinguishing between difficult relationships and genuinely toxic ones.
The speakers explored how love itself can sometimes become unhealthy when care transforms into control, possessiveness, or dependency. Drawing on examples from Indian epics, Amish reflected on the timeless lessons embedded within relationships. A particularly moving segment focused on family dynamics and the challenge of recognising toxicity within families. Dr. Batra stated that boundaries are not acts of rebellion, but acts of self-respect.
The book examines how anxiety, fear, unhealthy relationships, rigid beliefs, and unchecked ego can quietly erode well-being, while also offering practical pathways towards healing and inner transformation. The launch event featured a discussion between Dr. Batra and Amish Tripathi, with other notable guests in attendance, including Sam Balsara, founder and chairperson of Maddison Group, and Nandita Puri, author and wife of late actor Om Puri.
The book 'Toxic' is expected to resonate with readers seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of toxicity and its impact on overall well-being. With its thought-provoking themes and practical remedies, the book is poised to become a valuable resource for those seeking to cultivate a cleaner mind, body, and spirit.
As the conversation came to a close, Dr. Batra and Amish Tripathi left the audience with a profound message: that true healing requires a holistic approach, one that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. The book 'Toxic' is a testament to the power of this approach, offering readers a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of toxicity and emerging stronger, wiser, and more resilient.
In the coming weeks, Dr. Batra is expected to engage in a series of discussions and workshops, further exploring the themes and ideas presented in 'Toxic'. These events will provide readers with an opportunity to delve deeper into the book's concepts and apply its practical remedies to their own lives. With its launch, 'Toxic' is set to become a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation about wellness, toxicity, and the human experience.
The book's release is timely, given the growing awareness of the importance of mental and emotional well-being. As readers navigate the complexities of modern life, 'Toxic' offers a valuable resource for cultivating greater self-awareness, recognizing the signs of toxicity, and developing strategies for healing and growth. With its unique blend of storytelling, science, and practical wisdom, 'Toxic' is poised to become a trusted companion for those seeking to create a more balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling life.
