Everytime I fall sick in India my dad and mom huddle together and start going into the kitchen to come back with some concoction for me to drink. Most of my ailments are digestion related: gas, loose motion etc. Anyways just anecdotally from my experience it looks like some of these ailments actually work. So I thought I would just list some of these remedies in one place for me to refer back to:
- mild diarrhea: boil skin of pomegranate and water and drink the resulting syrup.
- fever associated with cold and shivering: drink coffee without milk boiled with chukku which is the malayalam word for dried ginger, black pepper and some sugar or honey.
- gas problems: lemon tea
