COLD

Home Remedy For Cold • A lemon a day keeps the cold away. For a bad cold, the juice of two lemons in ½ a litre (2½ cups) of boiling water sweetened with honey, taken at bed time, is a very effective remedy. • Have ginger (adrak) tea. • Cut ginger (adrak) into 1" _ 1½" pieces and boil with a cup of water. Give 8-10 boils. Strain, sweeten with ½ teaspoon sugar and drink hot. • A tablespoon of carom seeds (ajwain) crushed and tied up in a muslin cloth can be used for inhalation to relieve congestion/blocked nose. • A similar small bundle placed near the pillow of sleeping children relieves congestion.
