Ever wondered why some home remedies sound like old wives’ tales and have yet remained with you for centuriesIJ That’s simply because they have worked. Here are some from ROSHANI DEVI
Yes, oats are an iron+protein rich antioxidants powerhouse good for your health if include them in your diet. But did you know that even doctors agree they are a good healer for skin ailments like eczyma, sunburn and hivesIJ
Wondering howIJ Just powder the oats, dissolve it in a glass of water and pour it in your bath-tub for a long therapeutic dip. A 15 minute soak is good to go. The pytochemicals which come with anti-inflammatory properties in the oats relieve you of itchiness and burning sensation in the skin.
Saltless, we all know, means tasteless. But salt is a powerhouse to tackle sinus congestion and sore throat. My granny used on us for ages but modern doctors have finally explained that when you mix salt into water at a stronger concentration than the salt water in our bodies, it helps draw fluids out of tissues. That’s for cold relief. Non-iodised salt is best mixed in warm water for simple gargles.
