Turmeric for Sore Throat {DIY}

Swathy · July 30, 2011 · 2 Comments

Ok, so this is such an awesome and super quick remedy that I have become a big fan of turmeric now. As I told you that I am suffering from cold and I had this sore throat a few days back which I had to treat super quick, so I was just googling for remedies and then I came across this and tried out. And, it worked like a charm!!! So, if you get a sore throat ever, you should definitely try out this remedy before you go to anything else (even medicines and a doc). We have been trying out turmeric for skin, now try for sore throats.
Ingredients
  • Hot water (preferably as hot as you can drink without burning your throat and blistering your tongue)
  • Table spoon of Turmeric
  • Honey (optional)
Mix all the three and drink as fast a possible. Or, better, take large gulps of the drink. Trust me, its not very tasty so I had put honey too and honey is also said to be good for throat. I had taken it twice – once in the night and another in the morning and I was sweating all night and in the morning, my throat pain was considerably better. I think this drink helps with fever too but I am not very sure but I was sweating really badly so guess you can try this for fever too.
If you take my advise, I think one should take this drink the moment person feels the irritation in the throat which comes as a sign of cold. I think that would stop the cold then and there coz bearing full cold is really tedious.

Swathy · July 29, 2011 · 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}

Swathy · July 27, 2011 · 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.
