    Re: could u give me a name of readymade herbal powder which i can use for bath

    Hi,
    Plain besan is very good as a bhath powder. Since I do not know the appropriate hindi words, I am not able to help you any further. In tamil shops, ask for "vasanai podi" or "Kasthuri turmeric powder", mix with besan & use.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Hi,
    One can start drinking from the 6th month itself, no problem. It does not create any adverse effect at all.
    Delivery overdue by a week is a normal thing, possible reason can be late conception. Do not think, this kashayam will help early delivery etc. This eases out all odd pains & acts as a diuretic, thats' all.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Remedy for Corn in Feet

    I had very painful corns in my feet with inflammation & swelling around.
    I applied the following treatment which has given me very good relief.

    Grind fine to a paste, adding minimum water:

    Fresh mehendi leaves (maruthani ilai) - 1/2 cup

    Vasambu - 1 " (available in nattu marundu sops)

    Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

    Keep it airtight in the fridge. Put a little in gauze, keep on the corn & apply plaster criss-cross to prevent it from moving away. Do this every night. Slowly it improves & becomes normal.

    The thickened layers start peeling away, gradually. In 10 days or even earlier, there is very good relief.
    If you cannot get fresh leaves, try with mehendi powder. But vasambu is a must.

    How to make barley water at home?

    Barley nourishes the kidney at times of stress and cleanses the kidney. It produces over all benefits to our system. Regular intake of barley water is recommended for people who have urinary problems.

    Barley in the form of grains is definitelt preferable to flour.

    Barley grains - 1 tbsp

    Water - 500ml

    Jeera - 1 tsp (optional, but recommended!)

    Wash the barley very well changing water several times.

    Mix with jeera & 500 ml water in a vessel.

    Keep inside a pressure cooker.

    After the first whistle comes, simmer & cook for 15 mtes.

    Allow to stand for minimum one hour.

    Adding a tsp of lime juice is good; salt or saugar can be optionally added.

    Strained, cooked barley makes good dietary fibre.
