Turmeric helps from cold to dandruff to keep pests away !
Turmeric is one ingredient which Indians can't do without. We add it in all our curries, gravies, snacks. Unlike artificial colours, it is the best to get the golden colour in any food that you want.
During monsoon, one tends to get cold, cough and immunity is low. By mixing turmeric powder with jaggery and having those little balls, daily before monsoon starts, it will boost your immunity and you wouldn't need any medicines to swallow ! About 1-2 tsp of jaggery mixed with 2-3 pinch of turmeric, roll into small balls and enjoy !
Ants- You know that ants gather foods before monsoon and they make their ways into your homes. By sprinkling turmeric powder around the places from where they make their way into your homes. It will keep the ants away, it will not kill them, it isn't a permanent solution, but works well.
Whitening teeth and strengthen your gums- It may sound counter-intuitive, but turmeric—notorious though it is for leaving stains—helps in whitening teeth. Mix a pinch (or less) of it with coconut oil and use the mixture as a toothpaste. You can also rinse your mouth with water and a bit of turmeric to strengthen your gums. Don’t do this every day though, as it does have some side effects.
Dark circles under the eyes- If dark circles bother you, turmeric is the solution yet again! Mix a bit of the spice with honey and apply a thick layer under the eye. Leave it on for about 30 minutes and rinse with water.
Dandruff- I know most people are troubled with dandruff and would have tried umpteen different shampoos. Try this simple remedy- mix about 1/8 tsp of turmeric with coconut oil, massage into your scalp, wait for 15 minutes, before washing off with shampoo or shikaki powder.
Nose bleeds- Nosebleeds can be a sudden emergency in blazing summers. If that happens, and once you get the bleeding under control, drink water with a pinch of turmeric. (Pro tip: Rubbing an onion on your forehead also cools you down).
White discharge- For girls and women who frequently experience white discharges, turmeric is a wonderful solution. Start consuming more quantities in your meals and milk. You’ll see the difference soon enough.
Facial hair- It is most disturbing for girls and women to be bothered with facial hair. A simple remedy, mix about 1/2 tsp of turmeric pdr. with 1 tsp of rice flour and little milk to get a paste. Rub against the direction of hair growth well for 2-3 minutes, then spread all over your face, wait for 15 minutes to wash it off. You'll find your face is soft, blemish free and soon all the unwanted hair will disappear. ( you may add more of turmeric and rice flour, mix and keep in the fridge).
Cough and wheezing- I've severe asthma. On most days, I drink a big glass of milk with 1/4 tsp of turmeric + 3 cloves garlic chopped fine, simmer for about 20-25 minutes, add little sugar and drink as hot as possible before going to bed. You will find that your cough, phlegm reduces a lot. ( don't worry, garlic smell won't be that bad, drink it as a medicine).
