Herbal kadha to increase immunity

Add one cardamom, 2 – 3 coarsely ground black pepper, 2 – 3 a small piece of cinnamon (dalchini), 4 – 5 tulsi leaves and dried ginger (sonth) to a glass of boiling water.

Let it boil for 10 minutes and remove it from the flame.

Allow it to cool for some time, strain and drink while warm.

If you don’t like the taste, you can add a few drops of honey. Don’t add sugar.

Drink it daily to improve your immunity and prevent infections.

Relax Tired Eyes

Massaging: Gently massage your eyelids and around the eyebrows with your fingers for 20 seconds 2-3 times a day. Massaging at regular intervals not only relaxes the eye muscles but also improves blood circulation.
Palming: This technique is popular in yoga to treat eye ailments. Rub your palms to warm them. Now gently place your palms on your eyes for 2-3 minutes and relax. Palming gives your eyes and the muscles the much needed rest from bright light.
Cold milk: Strained eyes can be cooled down and relaxed by placing cotton or wash cloth soaked in cold milk over them. Place it on your eyes for 4-5 minutes and relax. If you are at work, you can use cold water instead of milk. A cold compress shrinks the blood vessels around the eyes, thereby reducing puffiness caused due to fatigue. Did you know cold milk can lighten dark circles too?

Homemade cough syrup

Hi friends,

I am back to this blog from a long break.

Today, I am going to share a recipe for homemade cough syrup (courtesy: thehealthsite.com)

Homemade cough syrup
You need:

• 4 tbsp honey
• 6 cloves
• 1 medium size cinnamon stick broken in tiny pieces

Method:

• Dry roast the cloves and cinnamon pieces for 2-3 minutes or till they start popping and become fragrant. Grind them to a fine powder.
• Now mix the powder with honey in a small bowl and stir to incorporate the taste of the spices in the honey. Eat 3 spoonfuls of this before bed.
• You can prepare this mixture for 2-3 days and keep eating it every day if you still have a cough. The remedy works for both dry or regular cough.
• Eat this twice a day for better results.
