Indian natural remedies
Winter settles throughout the territory and with it sore throats, colds and tonsillitis. Small diseases that can be treated with traditional Indian medicine. Our colleagues from LCI were able to preview the book From India, the remedies that heal by Éditions Mosaïque-Santé. A book that lists a number of remedies that can cure naturally.
The authors advise in particular to overcome the sore throat which very often accompanies the common cold with Chukku Kappi, a traditional drink made with boiling water, Himalayan salt and turmeric. In case of fever, add cumin seeds and a few pieces of root ginger to your drink.
Self-medication to be used with caution
To declutter the bronchi, Bénédicte Bonnet and Jean-Christophe Toillon recommend the consumption of long Java pepper. Its sweetness allows it to be associated with sweet and savory. It will give flavor to your salads, your meats but can also be consumed in a cup of hot milk for a three-day cure.
The authors point out, however, that However, these natural remedies are not harmless. Before starting to self-medicate, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The doses prescribed in the book must also be scrupulously observed. To find these rare foods, go to an organic store, so you can ask the seller for advice.
