REMEDIES FOR MINOR AILMENTS-part 2
Constipation
• Take a hot glass of water with 1 teaspoon honey and juice of ½ a lemon first thing in the morning.
• Drink one litre of water first thing in the morning.
• Soak 6-8 dates (khajoor) in a cup of water at night. Churn in the mixer in the morning & drink first thing in the morning.
•
Constipation in small children:
• Soak 6-8 raisins (kishmish) in hot water (depending on the age). When cool, crush well and strain. When given routinely even to little infants, it helps to regulate bowel movement (however care should be taken - so as not to give too much otherwise the child will get loose motions.)
• Consumption of 6-8 apricots (khumani) a day or 2-3 cucumbers (kheera) a day or 1-2 bananas a day is also very useful.
• Bulk forming vegetables like carrots, radish, spinach, cabbage or roughage creating things should be consumed. Instead of juice always opt for eating the fruit.
• Whole wheat flour should be used and processed foods (maida, cheese, confectionery) should be avoided.
Eyes strain due to TV watching
• Boil ½ teaspoon fennel seeds (saunf) in a cup of water till it is reduced to half. Cool. Use as eye drops (Caution: Beware of contamination) .
Ear infection
• Extract 1 teaspoon juice from mango leaves. Warm it slightly and use as ear drops. Take care that it should be bearable and not too hot otherwise it might scald the ear.
Cholesterol (High)
• Finely dice an onion and mix it with 1 cup buttermilk along with ¼ teaspoon black pepper (kali mirch) and drink.
• Regularly intake garlic (lahsun) cloves for a few days.
• Regularly intake coriander (dhania) decoction made by boiling 2 teaspoon dry seed powder in 1 cup water. (Milk and sugar can be added to improve its taste. This could be a welcome substitute for tea or coffee.)
Gastroenteritis
• A decoction of 15-20 tulsi leaves taken along with a pinch of rock salt (kala namak) helps in the cure.
Giddiness
• Soak cumin seeds (jeera) in lime juice overnight. Keep this mixture under the sun till completely dry. Bottle it. Chew ½ teaspoon of this mixture and drink with a glass of warm water.
• Giddiness due to blood pressure
• Soak 1 teaspoon each of powdered amla, coriander seeds (saboot dhania) and sandalwood in a cup of water overnight. Strain and drink the next day. Continue this for the next few days
Insect bites
