· · 2 Comments

Hey All!!! I thought I would be doing an MIA silently but it seems I can’t stay away from this platform long enough 🙂 So, today, I am posting a recipe for glowing skin from Puspendu from Kolkata.

Use 2tbsp full of ata(wheat flour)+ 1-2tsp full of lemon juice + raw milk (as much required to make a paste) and 2tsp beetroot paste (boil the beetroot and smash it) now make a fine paste using all these ingredients and apply it on your face and neck, keep it for 5-10 minutes and wash off…do it everyday…after 7 days you will feel the difference….hope to hear from you guys……see you!!!

Thanks a lot Puspendu for your kind words. They have made my really bad day and trust me, bad was worse than horrible today 🙂 So, thanks a lot!!! And, I would try to try out this recipe soon.

Eucalyptus Oil for Cold {DIY}

· · 7 Comments

Oh yes, I am most definitely ad very uncomfortably suffering from cold so you are suffering from a barrage of cold related posts. Yeah, I stick to Eucalyptus Oil during cold but I didn’t try taking bath with it ever. So, try this out. Let out really hot water (which might make your skin dry), add a tablespoon of eucalyptus oil to a bucket of water (change the proportions accordingly) and take bath with it. Make sure you bathe in really hot water. It will give immense relief and the experience is even better when the water is steaming hot so it releases eucalyptus oil vapors. Your bathroom will smell of the oil for hours later on and it will give a little bit of relief surely. Otherwise, taking bath while having cold feels really tiring.

Well, the season is changing and many of you might be suffering from cold, cough and fever. So, what is the best way to get rid of it. Ok, I am just prescribing something which might help along with your medicines and other things. So, what do you need?
Ingredients
  • Lemon
  • Honey
  • Warm – Hot Water
Method
Squeeze lemon in the hot or warm water (enough warm that it should feel good while going down your throat) and add a table spoon of honey or to taste (depending on your preference). Keep drinking it in intervals.
Notes
I always felt that lemon aggravates the bad condition of the throat but nope, it in fact helps to improve the condition and get rid of the irritation which you feel while you have bad cough and cold. So, next time you get a cold, don’t be afraid of lemons 🙂
