Are you new to Chennai Moms?

To arrest Vomit sensation:

If u have vomiting sensation if u take jeeragam one spoon immediately it will arrest the sensation.If u dont like to take it raw we can have "arisi mittai" which actually jeeragam coated with sugar syrup. Else u can have cardamom one piece and keep it in mouth itself

If we have vomiting sensation during pregnancy we can chew little bit of dry citrus pickle (without spicy) immediately vomiting gets arrested and good hunger feeling will start. 

Home-made vaporub for infants :

When new borns suffer from cold and congestion, don't apply comemrcially available vaporubs on their tender skin! Instead take 1-2 spoonfuls of pure coconut oil and heat it. When it starts emiting vapour, add powdered camphor to it and immediately remove from fire.

Let the hot oil to cool down and gently apply this aromatic home-made vaporub on their fore head, chest, back and on the sides over the ribs below the arm pits.

The babies get instant relief and will sleep well in that pleasant aroma just to wake up fresh the next day!

To control gastro related problems like pitham and all.

Paste ginger, coriander and garlic.Put these into warm water or u can use sourless buttermilk.Stir it well and drink.

For Cold and Cough :

You can take some beetel leaves and add it with rock salt and rub together with ur hands..in a such a way u get some juice extract..U can give 5ml extract to the kid...this would reduce the cold ...The same can be done with Murungai keerai also.

I dunno the exact name of the leaves - MUSUMUSUKU...this leaves can be eaten raw by kids..sure to reduce cold.

For throat pain and dry cough:

You can just apply sunambu on ur throat.

You can mix kupameni leaves (ground) with sunambu and apply on ur throat..The kupameni leaves can be substituted with murungai keerai also.

For stomachpain,ulcer and mouth ulcer:

Try to eat the modakithan leaves fresh.If you dont like them raw..you can grind it and add to dosai batter and can eat like dosa.Kids love eating the green dosa.This can be had on regular basis also.

Defntly good idea

All i know is

for stomachache to eat  vendaiyam with 1 glass of water or buttermilk

for cold - take karpooravalli leaves and just heat it in a dry kadai and extract the juice  by pressing it with twohands, give that juice.

and as mom jr said coconut oil with camphor is a best treatment

 Good response moms............ enakey konjam tips dhan theriyum... neenga elarum ipadi add pannita what will i do?!!!  hmm i will gather some more other than given here and update it ...

Hi Al,

For feeling like indigestion Seeragam, some cut small pieces of ginger, and some curry leaves added to the water and get it boiled till the ras of them get into the water.

If it is drunk as hot indigestion or the pain due to it would definitely be gone.

Methi being soaked for one night and getting it dried. And after that to be tied up in a light weight cloth and to be hanged for a day. Shoots would be coming in a day or 2.

Untie it and get it powdered and if it is taken daily in an empty stomach it could do gud both for the sugar patients and for the ache comes to women during dates.

For the back pain, Urad dal has to be fried and get it powdered and add milk with water put it into the cooker and get it whistled.

Once it is cooked it will be solid like or semi solid. U can either add more milk or as it is.

It does good to women as well as for men 2.

That can be taken once or twice in a week.

With the same urad dall 'Kali' can also be made which supports Strength for both.

If u r to take juices like orange or carrot etc instead of adding sugar add honey and drink it adds vitamins and makes active.

Will come with more suggestions.

Regards,

Jeyalakshmi.A

thats is really a smart idea bhavani.wishing u in advance.

even tender ginger dipped  in honey and karupatti is good for cold for both children and elder.only small amount for children .

fry in the pan black pepper without oil for two minutes. Then powder it in the mixie.  Take 1/2 glass of water boil it then pour the powdered pepper.  After one two minutes of boiling, filter it and give the kashayam for those who have cold.  In two days time, you will see d results.  from Kirupaganesh,Nanganallur

weekly two days, after you get up from the bed, before taking anything, give this juice to your family members.  peel off outer skin of ginger then cut into small pieces, with this add coriander little quanity, jeergam little  grind the above 3 nicely, add water and then filter the juice. Squeeze one lemon into the above juice add sugar then drink.  Your stomach will be cleaned and your appetite will be increased. - experience the results-kirupaganesh,Nanganallur

Gr8 idea !!! it would be easier if we could list out the common diseases first  and then add the home remedies to them...

• For Dandruff : Immerse two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. Grind them the next morning to form a paste. Keep it for half an hour before washing it with a ritha solution or shikakai.


• People who are prone to acidity, intake of milk or other dairy products will prove to be helpful.

Very good idea. Instead of taking medicines for each and every problem we can try these home remedies. some of my ideas has been already mentioned here.

For dry cough and bad throat:

take half glass warm water mix half spoon ghee and sugar and drink.. u will get immediate reaction..

hi bhavani,

  thats nice idea.. hope others have told everything what i know.. but will try to collect if something else is there

Hi all for continous cough, heat some beetal leaves (Not very hot) using thava and keep that in the childrens chest, cough tends to reduce.

For mouth ulcer gopparai and kasakasa mixed together can be taken in empty stomach. this is good for stomach also as my grnamother used to say ' Vayathile punnu iruntha vayila varum nnu'

Camphor should be avoided in infants as doctors say it would cause fits in children. For children who are exclusively breast fed the cold would go away on its own. For others best medicine is water. Drinking plenty of water would not cause dehydration which otherwise would result in fever.

Horse gram (kollu) is very good for cold.

Moong dhal( pasi paruppu) when taken in empty stomach along with coconut and jaggary like paayasam would help to heal the mouth ulcer and stomach ulcer.
