                  Dear Ramya your effort is praise worthy. My cook says that it is possible to arrest premature graying with kaiyonni leaves. It is called bhringaraj in sanskrit and keshut pata in bengali. Also can you please post something on kalmegh leaves. It grows abundantly in my part of the world.

                    Hi, If the sneezing is caused due to cold & flu, try the eucalyptus steam and also try the thirikadugam remedies from the blog. If it is caused due to allergies, try nilavembu water from the blog, it is the best for treating allergies…..

                    Hi Madhi,For regularizing periods, take iron rich food especially traditional foods like ulundhu kali that is very good for regularizing the periods. My niece who always had irregular periods started getting it regularly after she switched to a healthy traditional diet along with practicing yoga everyday…

                  Try taking sesame seeds daily, take around a tsp of sesame seeds along with jaggery, better still make sesame seed balls and have one daily, it will help regulate the periods. Along with it try yoga, it also helps regularize the periods..

                    Hi, Ask him to steam using nochi leaves, it helps both in sinus infection and in clearing the nasal passage (you can read about nochi in the blog). Also crush 2 pods of garlic, boil it in a cup of water, sweeten with honey (if he is not diabetic) and give it to him. Garlic opens up the nasal passage and prevents cold & cough too. Hope these remedies will help your father….

                    Scrub your feet gently using a pumice stone to remove the dead cells and then apply melted paraffin wax all over the feet and cover with aluminum foil. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes before removing the foil, this will greatly help in treating cracked heels. I have a video on paraffin wax please check it out…

For high BP, you can try hibiscus tea (recipe in the blog) as it has been proven to lower blood pressure but I would suggest monitoring your BP regularly while taking the tea. Also the herb ashwagandha can be taken for thyroid issues but I would kindly suggest consulting an ayurvedic physician for the correct dosage…..

Turmeric milk made with pure turmeric as it treats inflammation well.3. If he has a cold, give him thirikadugam preparation, you can read about it in the blog.4. You can also give him betel leaf juice (few drops) as it treats throat inflammations well…

                    As far as I know there is no home remedy for treating myopia but I would suggest you try eye exercises, it greatly helps relieve eye strain and reduces eye power if done regularly…

                    I would suggest a homemade bath powder by mixing neem powder along with green gram dal powder and vetiver root powder and using as a body wash daily. This mixture will treat the infection well too. Also I would suggest rubbing the skin with a piece of alum (shaving alum), it will help shrink pores and reduce sweating.

I just stumbled upon your blog two days back and must say it is just simply amazing.I live in London and should definitely say your blog is like having an elder person at home,a real blessing. I just have some requests. Can you add some healthy recipes for young teenage girls like ulunthu Kali for example? I have two girls and it will be really helpful if you can do this big favour. And for making besan and methi powder can I dry roast kadalaiparuppu and methi seeds and make powder at home as I don't get sunlight here? I really don't want to buy from shops as I would like to use these on my girls.

What is the necessity of giving these herbs to the baby?2. how often these to be given? ex., everyday or alternate days or once in a week3. how many drops are required per time?4. Why oil bath is required? how often this to be given?5. From how many months or weeks, these can be given?today's girls are too much educated(really) ? they dont believe whatever comes from grandma. but they believe internet. P.S – when i was a child 30 years before, i was administered with these herbs and oil bath every alternate days each respectively. I heard that in kerala, they administer 10 herbs for a baby including above herbs.Could you please help to shed some light..

I visited doctor and got some prescribed medicines (contraceptives usually) and took it for two to three months. And it became regular once again. After 1 year the same problem started happening, and I would like to go for home remedies natural way and not the medicines.

                  Hello RAMYA JI, I am an yoga instructor by profession…I have a student who has a strange problem. She is around 50 heavily built. She sweats profusely throughout the day especially from her head. Sweat keeps dropping down her face and she keeps wiping it. Because of this she keeps locked herself in an air-conditioned room throughout the day. Even in that room she sweats. She doesn't go out anywhere, doesn't mingle with anyone. She says she is been like that right from her childhood. One cannot help feeling sorry for her and personally as her yoga teacher I am trying my best to help her.My request to you is, as a person well versed in herbs and their benefits, is there any herb which can give some relief to her condition? If so pls enlighten me and I shall be grateful to you. Regards gopal

                    Hi Gopal, Before Ramya comes up with some amazing herbal solution, hope you don't mind if I share my thoughts here.Probabaly she doesn't do any another physical activity hence she sweats when she does yoga. Its okay to sweat when doing any form of physical excercise. I go for kathak dance and when I dance I generally sweat 2 3 times more than other students. (I am mother of two with 55 kgs weight and lots of tummy fat and my fellow dancers are my kids age !) You can ask her to carry 2-3 fresh handkerchiefs for the class and water bottle. If she continues yoga for few months automatically this will subside and she can gain confidence too. Just please continue accepting her as your student, or else she might lose her self confidence.A well wisher,Rashmi

What amazes me is the simplicity in your explation and yet so powerful.For past 2 years I am trying to minimize chemicals from our daily usage (soaps, lip balms etc). and this is a site which is like a blessing to me that I came to know about it. :)Anyways, thought of sharing one olden days home remedy for increasing the hemoglobin. I come from eastern UP where during pregnancies our prev generations aunts and mothers suggest this.Ingredients:**********************Few horse gram (kala chana) (10-12 in numbers)few raisins (6-7 in numbers)Receipe **********************Wash it and soak it overnight in a small bowl with good amount of water. The next morning one can eat this preferbaly empty stomach. its good to have the same water too. Both these ingredients are rich in fatty acid and natural antioxidants. This home remeady helps in constipation, and maintains hemoglobin level too. This can be continued for 3-4 months or may be more. Thanks,Rashmi

I soaked triphala powder in water in morning and had it in the evening leaving the residue. I had it for only 12 days immediately after my periods. At first I had bloating and then body heat. But later nothing abnormal. But I didn't get my periods this month. Never happened before like this. Could this be because of Triphala? Can you suggest me some remedy?

                  Hi Ramya,
                  I’ve been following your blog and YouTube channel for sometime. You are doing a great job collecting such vast information and supplementing them with scientific studies.
                  I’ve tried few of your health remedies and they’ve worked like magic.
                  I’ve also tried few of your hair care recipes (fenugreek-castile soap shampoo, coconut oil, castor oil hair massage oil & banana hair pack).
                  But my hair fall has drastically increased after the oil usage and my hair feels strange after the shampoo use. Also my hair is so dry after the rice water rinse.
                  Please suggest how to select hair oils/ hair packs.
                  Thank you!
