Simple remedy for cough n cold: Jaggery & Turmeric
Powder Tablets
This year we faced extreme weather conditions. In
Nagpur, we had summer till almost July and monsoon till Diwali. Now it's
December and yet winter is not like usual. It's bit cloudy during daytime and
cold during nights. Making it difficult for our bodies to adjust to changing
temperature. And if your city is under construction mode, you are exposed to
dust and dirt. Obviously under such scenario, getting cold and cough is very
much natural. But every time popping pills is not a healthy solution.
My son and hubby both are allergic to dust. Plus, my kiddo has joined cricket.
That means on the field facing dust and dirt day in and day out. That makes him
susceptible to cough and cold. To prevent this, my son has a special bedtime
routine. I have made jaggery - turmeric balls which he must eat along with
lukewarm water before bedtime. Turmeric has great medicinal properties. But you
cannot have it spoonful due to strong flavour. So, combining it with jaggery,
it becomes easier to consume. Alternatively, you can have turmeric powder in
the warm milk. But since my kid doesn't like milk, I have started giving this
laddoes. To make them you need:
Ingredients:
1. Jaggery (grated): 2 teaspoons
2. Turmeric Powder: ¼ teaspoon
(I always use homemade)
3. Lukewarm water: 1
Glass
Method:
1. Take jaggery in a plate. Soften it. Make sure to
use soft variety of jaggery.
2. Add turmeric powder to it. Mix well. Knead the mixture well.
3. Make small balls. With the above proportion you will get 4 tablets enough
for two persons.
4. Have it just before bedtime with lukewarm water.
In my family we are following this remedy for
generations now for the basic cold n cough.
Follow this routine for this winter and see the
good result.....
