In this post, we want to share some simple remedies using common Indian spices found in your kitchen. These illness listed below are commonly found in Indian children. Many of you may be knowing these remedies known as Grand mother’s medicine. Do try them and as always, please remember that these are just home remedies and a trained Doctor/ Peadiatrician knows best when it comes to your baby.
COLDS
Mix a gram of dalchini/cinnamon powder with a teaspoon of honey and consume. Prepare a cup of tea to which you should add ginger, clove, bay leaf and black pepper.. This should be consumed twice a day. Reduce the intake as the cold disappears.
DRY COUGHS.
Add a gram of turmeric (haldi) powder to a teaspoon of honey for curing dry cough. Also chew a cardamom for a long time.
BLOCKED NOSE.
For blocked nose or to relieve congestion, take a table spoon of crushed carom seeds (ajwain), tie it in a cloth and inhale it.
SORE THROAT.
Add a tea spoon of cumin seeds (jeera) and a few small pieces of dry ginger to a glass of boiling water. Simmer it for a few minutes, and then let it cool. Drink it twice daily. This will cure cold as well as sore throat.
MIGRAINE.
For the cure of migraine or acute cold in the head; boil a tablespoon of pepper powder, and a pinch of turmeric in a cup of milk, and have it daily for a few couple of days.
CUT AND WOUNDS
For small cuts or wounds, apply turmeric powder to the injured portion to stop the bleeding. It also works as an antiseptic. You can tie a bandage after applying haldi/turmeric.
INDIGESTION
Turmeric can be used to relieve digestive problems like ulcers, dysentery. Turmeric can be taken as a drink other than adding to dishes to help prevent all problems. Use one teaspoon of turmeric powder per cup of warm milk every day. It is also used as a paste for local action.
VOMITING
Take 2 cardamoms/ elachi and roast them on a dry pan (tava). Powder the cardamoms and thereafter add a tsp of honey in it. Consume it frequently. It serves as a fabulous home remedy for vomiting.

how and also why it’s may work. The things you shared in the post actually made me understand and adjust a few of my patterns.
