The kitchen clinic
Cold weather and pollution are a deadly combination for young asthmatics. Since Ayurveda classifies asthma as an acutely kaphic disorder brought on by excessive mucous and phlegm, the best prescription is honey.
Packed with subtle alcohols and ethereal oils, honey drains mucous from the respiratory passages and eliminates it from the lungs.
In fact, the ancient vaids actually believed that when an asthmatic child so much as inhales the air above a pot of honey, his breathing becomes easier. Hot garlic milk with a dash of turmeric, and ajwain tea are also traditional remedies for asthma. Avoid mucous forming foods like rice, wheat, yogurt, bananas, nuts and all dairy products, especially ice-cream and cheese.

Are Your Personal and Skin Care Products Safe?
ABC announced a study that was recently conducted on 72 name brand products. Of these 72 products, 52 contained at least one kind of phthalate. What is even more perplexing is that only 1 of the products tested lists it as an ingredient on the label - another cosmetic conspiracy! Did you know that studies conducted on animals show that phthalates can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system?
According to Ayurveda, you should put on your skin only products that are completely natural and chemically free. 100x washed ghruta Cream is made from an organic ghee that is used for gourmet cooking. This ghruta is washed 100 times in a copper bowl while reciting mantras. This process completely transforms the ghruta into cooling, nourishing, silky cream.
100x washed ghruta Cream is very well absorbed by the skin and leaves the skin feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing.
It is an excellent Astringent, Moisturiser, Anti-wrinkle & Cleansing cream. Can be used as a daily moisturizer on the face (or whole body) or for facial massage. Also, has calming effect on reddish or burned skin, and on eczema and rosacea.
