Blocked nose
If your lil one is down with cold and has a blocked nose making it difficult for him/her to breathe, try the 'ajwain ki potli' from our naani's remedies.
Take a clean muslin cloth about the size of half a handkerchief. Heat up a tawa in you kitchen and add the following:
- One teaspoon of ajwain seeds
- 3-4 garlic cloves
Heat these together on sim flame until the garlic cloves start turning reddish in colour.
Put these in the muslin cloth (malmal ka kapda) and tie it up like a potli. Put this potli in your lil ones' tshirt on the chest while they are sleeping.
This acts as a remedy as well as a preventive nushka during winters. Best if done just before the 'after bath' nap :)
Do ensure that the potli has cooled down before placing it.
*We'll keep adding more nuskhas to this blog. If you have a trick up your sleeve from your house, we would love to hear it! Leave us your remedies in the comments below :)
