Distaste for food-Home Remedies

The food that you eat just tastes bland and insipid. None of the mouth-watering dishes which you used to relish earlier with gusto seem to excite your taste buds. This normally happens after you have recovered from some chronic illness or it could be due to some other reason. In such situations, when your tongue develops a distaste for food, why not try out these simple home-remedies.

* Chew a bit of fresh ginger (adrak) with 7-8 corns of pepper and a piece of sugar candy. This recipe could help increase the taste for food along with your digestion.

* Take a handful of tender green leaves of neem and roast it in ghee / clarified butter. Take this for 8-10 days. Especially good for poor appetite and when a sense of aversion for food overpowers you.

* Wash green mangoes and cook them in boiling water; squeeze out the juice from these mangoes and dilute the same with twice the quantity of cold water. Add sugar to taste. Also mix a small quantity of powdered black pepper in it. Flavor it with menthol or pudina / mint leaves. Take a glass of this decoction once for three days. This recipe increases taste for food and improves digestion.

* You could also try out this side-dish called as ‘tamarind chutney’, especially after a bout of fever when your sense of taste is at its worst. Grind tamarind (imli), jaggery, cilantro leaves (dhaniya), a tsp of coriander seeds, and 2-3 red chillies to a paste. Add salt to taste and your chutney is ready. It will simply taste heavenly at this point of time.

    Powder form of cardamom seeds treated by ginger, caraway, and cloves needs to be mixed with natural honey. This mixture is to be taken orally in case of gross distaste for food and loss of appetite.

    More than likely you are dealing with dry mouth due to or brought on by the medication. It's common and your mouth will return to normal when the medication is discontinued.The bad taste will disappear on it's own once you've completed the medication.

    Eat it in small amounts mixed with other things, so that the (for example) tuna taste is not the most prevalent and then increase from there.

    Baking soda 1/4 teaspoon in a glass of water. Gargle away.
    After every meal and before bed. Reduces inflammation & promotes healing.

    Taste: That will also help to clean up the tongue.
    Some people swear that fresh pineapple restores taste.
    Put on a nicotine patch and cut out the fags. They reduce your oxygen supply which in turn slows down healing.
    Alcohol can play havoc with healing cells, knock that off for a while too.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
