Thanks sir for this wonderful post. For some minor ailments i still rely on Grandmothers remedy. I feel that these natural remedies are indeed very helpful. I still remember my school days that when for a congested chest due to cold my mom used to follow an o9ld grandmothers remedy of strapping trapped a warm mustard pack to my congested chests. I still do this whenever i catch a cold.

An age old grandmother s recipe for Asthma is fresh ginger juice. A teaspoon full of fresh ginger juice mixed with a cup of fenugreek decoction and honey is very useful to treat asthama. This mixture acts as an excellent treatment of asthma.

Another of those grandmother s remedy is for the cure of boil on the inner side of the eye lid. When someone has this, they are to rub the index finger against the palm of the other hand until it becomes hot and place the hot index finger on the top lid of the eyes. If this is done a couple of times, the boil will disappear.

Quickest cure for Diarrhoea. When someone gets diarrhoea, the cure is in rice water. You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan or pot with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water.When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it. You have to tell yourself that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 metres of it.
Here are few: To remove bad breath chew Eliachi green cardamom / Sanuf fennel /Laung Cloves so as to removes strong odors. An apple cures Constipation. Sucking a piece of Laung clove after meal helps in reducing acidity problem. Soak seven almonds in water overnight. Remove the skin and boil it with a glass of milk and sugar. Repeat this for 20-25 days. It helps in enhancing memory. Even chewing 7 almonds daily also helps. One or two drops of Eucalyptus oil in hanky works as a good inhaler during running nose. A few drops of Eucalyptus oil if added to hot water, its steam provides relief during cold. A mixture of ginger juice & honey warmed ,if taken before going to bed brings great relief to severe cough. A mixture of carom seeds Ajwain ,a pinch of black salt & a few drops of lemon taken with Luke warm water , provides relief to stomach ache. A 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder in a cup of hot milk can bring relief in cuts, wounds, cold & Coughs. Biting a clove provides relief in toothache. Keep a piece of mulathi in the mouth, for relief from persistent cough. Take a teaspoon of table salt and mix with a glass of hot water. Gargling 3 - 4 times a day is helpful in giving relief to throat irritation. Roast Carom seeds Ajwain and make powder. Apply this on your Gums, if having gum problem, it will help.
