Loose motion - ઝાડા

 વરીઆળી  અને જીરુ  સરખે ભાગે લઈને બરાબર શેકી અને તેને ખાંડી તેનો પાવડર કરીને ભરી રાખવો।

ખુબ પાતળા ઝાડા થાય ત્યારે દર  2-3 કલાકે 1 ચમચો પાવડર સદા પાણી સાથે લેવું

આ પ્રયોગ થી તુરંત રાહત થઇ જશે. જો બે ત્રણ વાર પાવડર લેવાથી ના મટે તો વૈદ કે ડોક્ટર ની સલાહ લેવી।

Dr. દાદી

stomach cramps can be quite uncomfortable and add to complications from constipation.
This may be cured by swallowing two teaspoons of fengruk (methi) followed by few spoons of water.
Generally pain vanishes in 10-15 minutes. this method has been used for five generations.

swallowing two poons of ajwain with water is also an effective remedy for acute stomach pain


needless to say that people having allergy to methi need to avoid this.
