>>HEART

It is possible to even reverse the heart problems by not using oil or ghee at all, by taking only boiled vegetables, doing simple exercises, and by living a tension free life.

Remember all spices and dry fruits produce cardiovascular diseases.

Daily intake of a quarter tablet of Aspirin, (under medical advise/supervision) avoids chances of heart attack.

Eat ¼ teaspoon asafoetida (hing) along with one large raisin (kishmish) every day.

If you suffer from heart pain, boil ½ teaspoon sandalwood powder in 1 cup water. Drink thrice daily.

For heart palpation, boil ¼ teaspoon powdered cardamom (chhoti elaichi) seeds in thin tea water and drink.

Regular intake of ripe bananas strengthens the heart.

DIET
		Have a pleasant environment at mealtime. Distribute eating over 4-5 meals rather than 3 meals. Breakfast is a very important meal, and should not be skipped.
Limit the salt and sugar intake. Reduce the amount of pickles, papads, chutneys, chocolates and large helpings of desserts.Have sweets/desserts only at the end of the meal and not during meals. Reduce the amount of spices added while cooking to prevent the risk of acidity/ulcers. Avoid the feeling of heaviness by eating small meals - avoid overeating .


COMMON COLD
		If you want to try alternative treatment for common cold, then Cumin seeds could be your answer. Add two tbspoons cumin seeds to 4 1/2 cups of water. Let it boil for a minute. Then allow the water to cool and drink a glassful, twice a day for a few days. Chicken Soup is good for common colds and getting rid of cold in winter. Preparing Chicken Soup: Pressure cook two chicken thighs (with skin) along with 4 cloves of garlic, 1 inch piece of ginger and a few sprigs of Cilantro for 10
minutes. Season with salt before cooking. Remove skin and bones from the chicken. Serve hot. Sip hot "Ginger Tea" for clearing up a cold.

CONSTIPATION
		A glass of hot tap water with a teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon/lime juice might do the trick. Eat a banana at night. Increase your dietary fibre content by eating fibre rich foods - fresh fruits and vegetables.

STOMACH ACHE
		Rub a little Asafoetida on the stomach around the navel. Use a hot-water bag on your stomach and lay on your stomach. Ajwain seeds have been known to cure or lessen a stomachache. Chew on a few ajwain seeds. Then drink a cup of hot water. Ginger also helps. Have ginger tea without milk and sugar.

FEVER

		The juice of the Sweet basil or Tulsi leaves can be used to bring down fever. Extract of tulsi leaves in fresh water should be given every 2 to 3 hours. In between one can keep giving sips of cold water.


ACIDITY

		Try chewing on a clove. Eat a piece of Jaggery or Gur after lunch/dinner.


SMALL CUTS

		Turmeric powder has been used as an antiseptic for years. Use clean turmeric powder (not one that is in a frequently used spice box) to heal a small cut.


TOOTHACHE

		Chew on a piece of clove to relieve a toothache temporarily.
