Home Remedies -- Today's topic is Acne, this is the most chronic skin disorder, cause great deal of embarrassment among younger generations and even for some mid age adults. Pls share simple home remedies to treat and cure. Do not post content from other sites, links... pls write in your own words and reply under this thread. Thank you.

Many internet searches says

Many internet searches says ,applying a little bit of white toothpaste on acne and letting it on overnight ,makes the pimple disapper the next morning. It certainly is gross ,my skin is so sensitive to dust and dirt and so I get some occasional pimples on face. I tried over the counter,cosmetics like acne free,neutrogena etc..nothing worked. I decide to test this toothpate experiment on my face and it worked! Eventhough the acne didn't disappear the next morning,it has stopped getting bigger and it disappered the next day. No marks on the spot where I used toothpaste so far ..If you really want to take risk and give it a try,apply a very little ,a tiny drop of paste and donot smear a lot on the acne. Read many more reviews on this and do internet search before trying and pls don't blame me if something goes wrong,it certainly depends on the brand and the contents in the toothpaste which is used.Mine doesnot give any burning feeling when applied. acne.org is a non-profit organisation where you find more info about acne.

1) For Regular Menses: Take

1) For Regular Menses: Take a Mango everyday. Can also take dates. ( LION Dates is what we get in India whole or syrup form.) Will regulate menses. Pottukadalai will postpone the menses. In cases when you don’t get the menses properly, make ladoos of TIL (white sesame) and Jaggery and eat 1 everyday.

 2) For Stomach Ulcers: It is due to excessive heat in the body. Take cooling agents through food everyday. Eg: take Moong dal ( paasi paruppu) everyday. Can take it with spinach in masiyal, Make Kosumbari. Take ½ cup moong dal, soak in water for ½ hour. Add finely chopped cucumber, 2-3 Tbsp grated coconut and give tadka of mustard seeds in little oil. Add salt and serve. Very cooling for the body. Preferably have it on empty stomach. Can have coconut water everyday.

3) For cough and sore throat: Heat 1 tsp ghee in a pan, add little crushed black pepper and ½ tsp sugar. Heat and eat it just like that. Grind 1 inch ginger in a mixie with little water, sieve and take out the juice. Add little honey and have before going to bed. Do not drink anything after taking this. Helps relieve excessive coughing.

4) For Diarrhoea: Have 2 tbsp whole methi seeds with curd. Don’t bite but swallow slowly. Will arrest diarrhea immediately. Can also have dry toasted bread with honey.

Hope its of use to u guys.....

For Diarrhoea--- It would

For Diarrhoea--- It would be better if u grind those methi seeds and then mix with curd.

Today's topic is Insomnia,

Today's topic is Insomnia, its quite alarming that its becoming very common these days due to excess stress. Are they any fruit or vegetable which can taken to put a stop or atleast control this to some extent. Pls share simple home remedies to treat and cure. Do not post content from other sites, links... pls write in your own words. Thank you.

Honey is a very good

Honey is a very good tranquilizer.Consuming 2 tsps of honey everyday cures most of our health disorders. I heard our ancestors had long life becos of consuming honey everyday.Its is good to take just honey(no mixing of water or milk) in empty stomach which makes us a gud physic(not too fat or lean).Consuming honey with milk at night put us into a deep sleep.

Having meal 2 hrs before

Having meal 2 hrs before bedtime also helps, no caffeine atleast 4 hrs before sleep. Dim your lights to get into that feel.  A good relaxing bath in warm water will drag you to sleep. Of all try skipping mid day nap.Going to bed on time everyday makes it a routine.

If you still dont fall asleep, dont stroll on the bed. get out of it and do something that soothes you say listening to music or reading, dont do things that increases your energy level.  Sleep after that, night night!!

hi,

Anyone suggest me a home remedy for absents of menses-Lack of periods...

For mouth sores, ulcers,

For mouth sores, ulcers, stomach pain ulcers. In empty stomach drink white pumpkin juice(grind pumpkin pulp in mixie and filter in cloth. Stomach ulcer will be fully cured. Also Aloe vera juice heels ulcers. This is my mom's tip. Very useful, my mom has practically experienced the benefits. For pimple free, clear skin: spread aloe vera paste all over face with/without kadalaimaava and keep for 10 minutes and wash. smooth silky skin. do regularly every week. Creams are artificial and it says aloe vera cream but the percen of aloe vera is very less and most of them has side effects. To remove facial hair for babies, children and adults apply turmeric at night and wash. the facial hair will be removed gradually and turmeric is also a good face scrub. For thick hair and to reduce heat from body, heat seseme oil in kadai and put 5 black pepper corns, crushed garlic with skin, one red chilly in oil let it splutter and then allow to cool and apply over hair and massage,wait for 30 minutes and take head bath. All body heat will disappear. you will feel heat coming out from eyes and it is ver relaxing for the body. Practice this every week. My moms tip. When I was growing up my mom used to do this every week for me and my sisters and I am very proud to say that I have thick hair even now ;-)

If you have stomach ache

If you have stomach ache due to body heat

Soak fenugreek seeds in sour buttermilk or curd or water for an hour and drink and eat the softened fenugreek seeds. this works if body is heated up.

If you have stomach ache due to excess gas or bloating

lie on your back with a pillow. spread a towel with medium thickness on your upper /lower stomach or which part is paining, and keep a bowl full of hot water and keep moving it all over. this moves and dissolves the excess gas and gives relief. it would be good if someone else does the activity of moving the hot water bowl or vessel.

also to get rid of any gastic problems atleast once in a week massage some oil all over the body , leave it for 20mins and then have bath. this helps to permanently get rid of gastic problems.
you can use gingely oil, olive oil or coconut oil for massaging.slight warm oil is perfect.also this is very distressing and so rejuvenating.

For Tooth ache: Keep a

For Tooth ache:
Keep a clove on the affected area.

For Menstural disorders:

Girls was bit worried as this thread for looking empty intially but now very glad to see many posting valuable tips. My sincere thanks to all members.

To stop nighttime coughing

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

Asthmatic:
