Feeling off color?

Many of us in IT or for that matter all working people tend to take a lot of tea or coffee. This leads to build up of a lot of poison into the system leading to headache, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. A simple home remedy for this is to drink Ginger juice. Let me share with you the recipe for making fresh ginger juice at home. Take 50 gms of fresh ginger and try to shave off the skin. Cut it into small pieces and grind it along with water and required sugar say 1 - 2 tsp to get the Ginger juice. Strain the juice and allow the juice to stand for 5 mts. The heavy portion will settle down and you can take out only the lighter portion. Add lime juice (half lime is enough) and drink it fresh. This is best when taken on a empty stomach. But you can also take it before food. Allow at least half an hour to one hour before consuming food. This will help the digestive system to clean itself properly. This can be done in a regular basis say once a month. Wishing a healthy living with nature

Have a full glass of buttermilk( add a lot of water and make it thin) with salt. All these work very well during summer In earlier times, taking oil bath once a week was helping the body to cool a
