21 Kitchen Remedies For Common Problems

1. Acne [Pimples]: grated Cucumber. Apply grated cucumber on the face, eyes, and neck, for 20 minutes. Rinse with water. Cucumber tones the skin and also prevents pimples and blackheads.

2. Allergies: Carrot Juice. Carrot juice [with beet and cucumber juice] is effective for allergies. Mix 300ml of carrot juice with 100ml [each] of beet and cucumber juice. This makes 500ml of mixed juice. Take the concoction, once daily.

3. Bad Breath: Fenugreek Tea. Fenugreek [methi] tea made from the seeds taken regularly is a safe and effective remedy for bad breath [halitosis]. Add 2 tsp of methi seeds in half-alitre of water. Allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes over a low flame. Strain, and drink the liquid.

4. Boils: garlic Juice. Apply garlic or onion juice/extract externally on boils. It will help ripen them, break them, and also drain the pus. Eat 2-3 pods of garlic — or, take a garlic capsule — during meals.

5. Common Cold: ginger. Boil 10gm of ginger slices in water. Strain, and take two cups daily.

6. Constipation: ginger Tea. Ginger tea is an excellent home remedy for treating constipation. It promotes good bowel movement.
