but do take the buttermilk without fail during the day time.

this works wonders .initially u will not like the taste but once u get the practice it is very easy.

even drinking during menses time will help in regularisation of flow.

hope this helps

hi latha,

you elaborated well the importance of kollu. it is 100% true reg kollu and its benefits.

This is what my vaithiyar (siddha doctor) asked me to do :-

1 tablespoon kollu powder. 1 tablespoon small zeera(cummin seed). Boil in 4 glass of water to 1 glass. Drink in empty stomach every morning and evening.

I drink it for 1 month..it was very effective but i got purging 2-3 times in a day. so i stop it !
you will see the result in two weeks, i lost almost 3 kgs in 2 weeks.

hi Bambli,

asking so much questions .........actually i have told my DH to bring it frm India so......

Dear,

total weight lost of that month was 5 kgs. first 2 weeks i took the kollu in the morning and evening... no exercise, and no diet (but i don't take any fried foods).

next 2 weeks, i took kollu once in a day (sometimes in the morning & sometimes in the evening)... same no exercise and no diet, i lost another 2 kgs.

i can't take the purging, so i stop it and i start my diet and exercise..
once in a while during weekends (if i'm at home), then i will take kollu now...sometimes do kollu rasam and drink it.
