Magic Medicine

Magic Medicine for Cough and Cold

This Magic Medicine(we usually call) can be available in stores but what I am going to detail here is our own home made Choorna which has many medicinal uses. (The ingredients described are slightly different than the store bought).

I am going to detail you some of the health benefits of herbs in India which we have forgotten about a decade and I came to know from my Grandmother who used to tell home remedies using the available things at home. I especially liked this medicine which she used to to prepare by herself and supply it to friends and relatives. We call it as "Magic Medicine". This magic medicine consists of three ingredients well dried, powdered and mixed in equal ratio.It should be stored in air tight container. Come lets get into the blog to know amazing properties it has.

Three Ingredients: (In Tamil)

1.Thippili

2.Chitharathai

3.Athimadhuram

Thippili:

Thippili or Arisi Thippili in Tamil known as Long pepper or pipili in English. It has many useful and medicinal properties.The fruit is dried well and used. Long pepper is similar to our normal pepper but is more spicier than it. It is extensively used in home remedies.

Thippili rasam is very famous in South India to cure cough for any age groups.The study shows that it act as an antioxidant and kill cancer cells.This herb is used to treat gastrointestinal problems, lung problems,arthritis, problems during mensturation and many other medical conditions.

Chitharathai:

Chitharathai in Tamil known as Lesser galangal (not sure of). Botanical name is Alpinia Calcarata. This is  basically a Ginger family. It is a very good home remedy for common cough and cold.I have tried myself too. It is so effective. I thought it is a very good remedy for cold and cough which is worth sharing with you all.Regular intake of Sitharathai during a cold can easily make the phlegm come out and help you to free from chest congestion. It is also used for stomach complaints.

Mix Chitharathai with honey and give it to kids(above 3 yrs old). They do not complain to eat it if you add more honey.

Ahimathuram:

Athimadhuram in Tamil known as Licorice in English has equal benefits as above two. Its extracts used as traditionl medicine.It is an antiseptic that helps to calm the stomach.It is also known to be beneficial in cases of low blood pressure.
