here is another amma's remedy for cough. Amma has this great knowledge of medicinal plants. This one is using 'sambarballi' or 'ajwain ka patta'. The thick pulpy leaves of this medicinal plant are known to be of great medicinal value. The following remedy is very effective.
Take a couple of medium sized leaves of sambarballi and dry roast it on a tawa. As you see the leaves starting to give out moisture (small droplets start forming on the top side) take it off the tawa and squeeze it with the fingers to get a little juice (approx 1-2 tsp). Now mix this with an equal measure of honey and give it to the kid.
Adu was first given this when he was around 8 months old.
The dosage was once in the morning.
Every time one of us fell ill or was down with some minor ailment, amma would give us one of these kashayas and within no time we would be up and running. So i thought why not record these for our future reference and for all of you. Of course these are only home remedies and I suggest that a doctor be visited whenever the mother feels the need. Of all the things i have come to rely on the mothers instinct as regards to the baby's / kids health as the best. Have a healthy family.
