m having dificulty sleeping...got cold ,body ache, nose blocked and above all everyone at home seems to me so safely enjoying the sleep without any flu bothering them' NOT THAT I MIND THEIR SOUND SLEEP'...i tossed and turned almost for about an hour...damm..still no sleep..... though i know first two days are real bad when u get cold..but after that u get better by each day...'m hoping it to be true in my case as well'..see m not even sounding humorous anymore...
i think i got the flu from DLF promonade mall in vasant kunj...as i was there yesterday whole evening....i was pretty good when i left home but by the time i returned i was bit uneasy..and when i woke up today...i knew i had a bad day ahead of me..!
i couldnt even enjoy unpacking my shopping bags...oh ..the min.i recall all my goodies i grabbed yesterday at discounted prices it does brings a smile on my face..:)
i picked a beautiful top in blue from biba....a dress from w and a long shirt from mango...m so happy as m gonna wear each one of them and go out with my friends for a movie or a lunch when m ok and get rid of this flu..
m going to make a cup of hot herbal tea for myself which i learned from my mother..its a wonderful mixture full of all medicinal properties of herbs we generally happen to have in our kitchen self..when i return with that cup for myself m gonna share that miracle recipe with u all...so hold on till i come back.....
hmm...m back with the cup of my tea....its a simple but very helpfull concoction...m not a allopathy person so i prefer these handy and usefull remedies..and believe in putting that extra effort if it saves me from administering those..bitter pills..
the recipe for tea....take a big cup of water in a pan and put it on gas stove....while the water comes to boil put in basil leaves(tulsi),cinnamom stick(dal chini),1 sp sauf, 2 clove , 2 blackpepper, 2 green cardamom (choti elaychi), single piece black cardamom(badi elaychi)...tea leaves sml spoon..bring it to boil ,add sugar and pour it through the strainer...sip it slowely while its still hot....i bet that u get an intant relief by the time ur cup is not even empty....!
that is what i do evertime i suffer from cold....and ya u may thank me later on for this ;)
heat a pan on medium flame and put a small sp of black gram powder(besan) ,add little pure ghee(butter) and fry it till it gets the golden brown colour..now add water(one big milk mug) and green cardamom ,grounded almonds, and a pinch of blk pepper powder.. , add sugar according to ur taste..bring it to boil..and pour the liquid in a milk mug( that u used fr adding water)...sip it...u will feel not only better but happy as u now know how to ward off that irritating cold....!
ur sore throat will now b moistened enough to survive the dryness that cold brings along..if u take care of cold in the innitial stage it goes within a weeks time and if u dont it stays for almost more than three weeks in most cases..its very infectious...contageious...wash ur hands often ,instead of cloth napkins use throw away tissues ...as they r soft and non reusable...it hits u when there is low humidity...needs to take that extra step so that u dont go on infecting people around u..if u have difficuly sleeping due to blocked nose raise ur pillows so that ur head is higher than ur lower area...drink lots of liquids...take hot soups..avoid milk tea instead go for green or herbal teas....avoid sleeping in the afternoons or early evenings...i truely hope my inputs will or have already enlightened u....i now need to go and catch on with some sleep...need to get up early morning...it was fun sharing...love u all readers...and happy cold..muahh...
