Hi Can you pls elaborate for how long it needs to be given. My daughter is going to be seven. Is it advisable? Whcih doc did you see?

Apart from the Vicks on the feet, I'm also applying turmeric powder [just make a paste with water] on the chest region. Gives good relief from the congestion.
Also, heat up some coconut oil in a ladle & add few small pieces of camphor [ karpooram ] , it will dissolve. When oil is warm, apply on the forehead, temples [ sinus points ] , will relieve the runny nose, watery eyes sensation.
Include pepper/jeera powder in the daily diet & also ginger, honey & lemon juice. Giving warm 'sukku water' [ boiling water to which dried ginger is added ] throughout the day also heats up the body & relieves the symptoms.

Both my daughter & myself, are suffering from severe cold/cough for past few days . The tips above can be used for adults also .

hi

best remedy for cold is turmeric poweder in hot milk with pinch of pepper powder.

for cough ginger juice with honey . take one tsp every 1 hour .

steam inhalation also helps a lot for the phlegm to come out .


bharathy.g.

Clean ajwain-1tblsp (I just run it in mixie and keepit so that it steeps into the extract well)
Pepper corn -10numbers
Clove (laung) - 7numbers
dry raisins - 10 numbers
indian basil - 10/15leaves (if available very good)
betel leaves - 1 leaf.
sugar candy - 1tsp.
ginger- 1/2 inch piece crushed.
jeera - 1/2tsp

Take 2/3 cups of water and boil all the above ingredients till it comes to almost half the quanity. leave it to cool. crush everything and strain it.
add a little honey and give it to the child. if it is a 5+ you can add little lime juice and honey when it is a little warm.

the same can be prepared and left in the fridge and given in the night, when the cough tends to become severe, a little warm the child sleeps well.

In infants the mucus comes out in the form of vomit/lose motions too. but this has a balance of all the ingredients..so no heat.


try it..

A couple of days back, my throat started to sore and other symptoms for cold. Immediately, started steaming 2 to 3 times in a day, had milk with haldi & pannai vellam powder and what a effect; had lots of garlic in rasam and ate raw onions too. MY friend also suggested to chew fresh pepper or pepper with honey for a better throat. Also, had hot milk with honey in the night. Of course, gargles too, somehow, feeling much better or almost gone..Not sure, it will happen everytime, but, atleast, worked out this time.
