    1. Hi Tina, First of all thanks for visiting my blog.

      Please let me know your native language (hindi or any other).

      1. Do not use regular ginger. You can get dry ginger(chukku in Tamil, Soonth in Hindi, I believe) in small grocery shops or in super markets. It may not be available everywhere. But you should be able to get it if you check in several shops. Dry ginger is different from fresh ginger.

      2. Prepare it freshly and give.

      3. Omam is Carom Seeds in English and Ajwain in Hindi.

      Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

    2. Note : 2nd point in the above answer- I meant you have to prepare the health tonic fresh every time you give.

  4. Hi, do you have any suggestions for treating cough in infant under a year?

  5. Hi Mansi, you can crush tulsi leaves and take little little juice. Mix it with milk and give. Give only small quantity. I used to boil little coconut oil and put camphor in it and switch off. I apply this oil over chest and backside. I also apply little vicks in the feet. These things will give comfort to babies and this will stop coughing only if we do in early stage itself. If cough is worse, consult doctor immediately.

    1. @ADI, You can add some honey or any other sweeteners and give him. If you cannot really make him to have, you can ignore them and gives the tonic with rest of the items.
