A Cuppa Tea!

Tea is drunk throughout the world in almost endless variations - black, green, white, with milk, with lemon and in combination with any number of herbs and spices. Its antioxidant properties are well known but today we'll look at other health benefits in the form of a few simple home remedies.

For treating diarrhoea- loose motions

Take a cup of hot black tea, add a tsp of sugar and a half a tsp of ghee/clarified butter. Repeat in 3 hrs. 2-3 doses are normally enough. Can be used in a half dose for children above 3 as well. 

I have used this remedy and it always helps. 

For relief of cough and throat pain

Boil a cup of water with a bayleaf, add some black tea when the water starts boiling. Sieve after the tea has boiled for 30 seconds. Gargle when lukewarm. Repeat 2-3 times a day. 

Hair Conditioner 

Take a cup of cooled black tea. Use it as a last rinse after washing your hair. Softens the hair and gives it a glow.

For dark circles 

Take used tea bags. When cool, place on your eyes for 4-5 minutes. Very helpful against dark circles.
