Feeling heavy in the tummy?...pop in a pill. Got a cough?...drink that syrup. A cut from the knife?...smear that antiseptic endlessly. STOP!!
Reach out to that jar in your kitchen, connect with the bounties of nature
and see it nurture you back to health, with no side effects! We tell you how.
Common cuts: Aloe vera has more benefits than we know of.
Got a knick or a cut or a bruise? Simply wash the area with water and soap and
head out to the garden. Smear some fresh Aloe Vera pulp and your wound is taken
care of! The bleeding refuses to stop? Aloe Vera takes a minute to fix this.
Known to work wonders on the skin, Aloe Vera is great for taking care of excess
dryness, pigmentation and even breakouts. Access it super easy. Buy a potted
plant and keep it in your balcony or garden. It's pretty much like a must have!
Cough & Colds: This is more like a hand down potion
recipe of sorts, to be used as a quick remedy if you have cough & phlegm.
All you need is Turmeric, Honey & Milk. Three simple steps:
1) Take a saucepan and heat turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon) in it till it
turns dark brown (it should be on the verge of burning).
2) Just then add half cup milk and bring to boil.
3) Take off heat after a single boil & add 1 teaspoon Honey.
Have this “burnt turmeric shot” or “Golden Milk” once before bedtime or
twice a day if the cough is severe. You can have this till the phlegm and
coughing disappear.
Raising metabolism: Started off on a new diet? Or are you unable to follow one right now? Let cinnamon and ginger do the hard work on your behalf; both are known to be big metabolism boosters.
Make a simple habit of boiling cinnamon sticks in water. Let it cool down
and sip on this the whole day. There is no taste as such so it's not a bother.
Plus you do not have to set aside a separate schedule to have this water. Make
this a part of the daily intake of water that you have. It will keep your
metabolism kicked throughout the day.
Note: Pursue this only for a week and come back to your normal consumption of water.
Ginger also is a huge metabolism booster. Include it in your salads – dipped
in vinegar or simply plain. Boil some grated ginger in a glass of water. Add a
teaspoon of honey and drink when lukewarm. This will give you a good booster
dose right at the start of your day.
Here is to a happy figure!
Digestion: So it's Saturday night and you went overboard with the
curries and the meats. The tummy feels like a wrecking ball now! Pluck some
mint leaves, boil in a cup of water, drink this wonder potion and feel lighter
in 15 mins flat!
No mint? No worries! It's that jar
in the kitchen...the one with the fennel seeds. A spoonful in your mouth and
you are good to go!
Reflux acting up again? Gulp in 2
spoons of Aloe Vera juice or eat 2 spoonfuls of fresh Aloe Vera pulp and see it
die out in 60 seconds.
Long before medicines were invented,
mother nature revealed to us, the wonders of its various herbs and their healing
properties. Stop the artificial overload today.
Note: Please check with your doctor
if you have any medical conditions. Never make a therapy permanent. Do it for a
week or two and give it a break. Natural products are potent; do not go
overboard.
