Khanak gave Shasha 'Ajwine Ka Khaadha' for her indigestion yesterday...And I loved her talk about western medicine vs desi/home rememdies... I feel both types have their uses😊...

So I wanted to know what desi/home remedies all of us sware by , when we have minor health problems...Not serious ones obviously😳...It will be interesting to see what our members post on the matter...Especially since we have many doctors on the forum😃...
Okay so I'll go first...
I feel the best remedy for a sore throat is, to gaggle with salted water or take honey with lemon juice😊...

😊ahhh how cute !! I
am a big fan of desi remedies
I have found that these al ternative systems like ayurveda/ homeopathy /chinese traditional medicine have very less side effects..
infact u can say nil...
My recommendation is for surgical cures and serious problems english medicine😊 and for other
minor ailments beauty care tips ayurveda other desi medicines😊
I have seen that just like us chinese/japanese and koreans like us value
their traditional medicines a lot ..
My dadi ma is such an expert in this..she has never gone to dr.. unless it is something emrgency or serious or troubling for long...😊 my mom also knows so many home remedies
here are some
1. If u have stomach disorder/ gas problems due to certain type of foods then make rasam out of garlic and drink..
u can also take garlic pearls.. it really works.😊
2.If u have toothache u can apply clove oil or the leaves of gauva tree can be crushed and used😊
3.If there is a boil due to pouring of hot water and all then u can apply turmeric.. so that it subsides fast ...
4.if u want to get rid of excess fat and become trim then drink a glass of warm water mixed with honey and lemon on empty stomach early in the morning..continously for some time
4.If u have period pains there is one special kind of neem tree called mountain neem...its barks can be taken and juice can be made and drank on the concluding day ..
Now a days theya re making tablets and tonics out of the same forumla 😊in ayurveda
5If u want flawless skin without marks and fairer face just shrug all those creams and face masks 😆.
.Use curd in the night regularly or u can use a mask of besan powder and see the results for ur self
all the creams may be harmful for skin in the long process
6.Best cure for controlling sugar..U have heard of karela juice and fenugreek seeds ..have not u?
7.regulary brush ur teeth with neem and banyan trees sticks if u want ur teeth to be strong..
8If u want ur wounds to heal fast just apply coconut oil daily..
9.u want to increase heamoglobin count take pomogranate and beetroot juice alot..
10 if ur voice is spoilt then have a glass of milk with turmeric and pepper powders nd a tsp of honey mixed instead of sugar see the results in a coupleof days

what she means is cure for minor ailments u cant be running to a allopathic dr everytime when u have a sore throat ... n a boil due to poring of hot water and all na😆😆
everyone does go to allopathic drs..when they feel the diesease is prolonging
but home remedies can be tried for very minor ailments and especially at
odd hours say at midnight and all before going to a dr.😊
Now a days I am seeing may hospitals of bigger stature are combining
traditional and modern medicnies for some chronic ailments..like asthma
arthritis etc.,
In fact big corporate hospitals have a separate wing for this 😊
sometimes unncessary CT scans and raditation exposure by Drs can cause
cancer after many years .,,
many allopathic drs themselves have agreed many times CTscans are
prescribed unwantedly leading to wastage of money /time and increased
exposure to radiation...
.some drs do that for even small things and put the patient to cancer risk later in life
and some drs they write a request for long tests and many patients may not be able to afford it..
I think so..for very minor ailments no need for rushing to drs..
Ofcourse if one feels something is wrong /serious and requires investigation they need to get things probed ,,,,,no doubts...😃and that should be done without wasting time 😊
