Re: Food and health Totka's

i have one more totka to add :

Methi seeds ( fenugreek ) are really really good to relieve body pains during fever and period pains .. in olden times women used to give the girls the following drink for the first two weeks in their cycle :

boil half tsp methi seeds in three cups water .. cover the lid and keep it on low heat ... the seeds give out maximum essense in about 30 minutes time ... then add half tsp of butter ... cool it and add sugar or honey and its all set to enjoyed as a hot drink.

Wow, that sounds amazing. So does this work for wheezing? My sons has mild asthma and with colds and coughs gets wheezy. How much turmeric should I put on the tawa?

Re: Food and health Totka's

This works for wheezing as well.

I put about two teaspoons of turmeric powder on a tawa and let it get hot. I move it around until it starts to smoke up. Once that happens, I stand over the tawa and inhale the smoke.

It sounds crazy but it helped me much more than any of my meds did. My mom told me to do it twice everyday...even on the days when I don't feel anything because according to her...this is a way to actually eventually cure asthma over a period of time. I personally didn't stay very consistent but when I did, it helped a lot.

I do not believe in any of desi totkas. I do believe in some Hakimee recipes though.

For blood pressure, I have heard ginkgo biloba is really good.
