Haldi, also known as Turmeric, is known in India for its healing properties. The practice of Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine) regards Turmeric as one of its best wonder-healing herb. Turmeric is also famous for its anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. Combined properly with other ingredients, we can have a home-made remedy effective in overcoming cough, cold and sore throat. The mixture that I am about to introduce you is also good for strengthening the body immune system.
What you need is:
A cup of boiled milk
1 tsp of Turmeric powder
Few slices of ginger / ginger powder
1 Tbsp of honey (optional)
Method:
1) Boil the milk.
2) Add the Turmeric powder and ginger. Stir thoroughly.
3) You can also add honey to improve the taste if you cannot stand the bitterness. Alternatively, you may add sugar.
NOTE: Too much sugar is bad for health!
Direction:
Drink this mixture whilst it is hot. It is best consumed before going to bed. Repeat the procedure for 3-5 days for best results.
