Day seven of #30dayscleansingchallenge

After all the hard work yesterday under the blazing summer sky and constant coastal breeze, I felt some itch in my throat. It resembled like the onset of a sore throat. I hate getting flu. Also with some business orders today, I would have definitely found it impossible. It is just annoying. I always take preventive measures like a good child. So it was time I tried this new country medicine I got. Yes, I am anti-allopathy, because I don't like to damage my organs just for temporary convenience. I would rather suffer a week long cold and flu than a life long kidney failure :P

This small sachet of ‘Mooligai paanam’ or ‘Herbal drink’ has some peculiar medicinal herbs — some of it is so new to me. But I was able to figure out it had long pepper, dried ginger, carom seeds, black cumin, licorisce, cardamom, piper, and so on. All of these are excellent herbal remedies for various ailments prescribed in the ancient texts. Somewhere something went wrong and everyone got addicted to the poisonous allopathic drugs.

So what I did was, boiled some water with this content and bottoms up! It was strong, but gave relief from that prickly (refer image with a cacti) throat and other physical discomforts. It left me feeling refreshed to do this blog post. I was forecasting myself to be down with infection but voila! Always rely on nature and you will be taken care.
