Common reason why to take home remedies: less expensive and has no side effect.
The following remedies can be used to relieve common discomforts and life's health
problems...
Liberal intake of curry leaves is considered beneficial in preventing premature greying of hair. These leaves
have the property of providing vitality and strength to hair roots. New hair roots that grow are healthier and
contain a normal pigment. The leaves can be used in the form of spicy condiment, or may be squeezed in
buttermilk. When the leaves are boiled in coconut oil, the oil forms an excellent hair tonic to stimulate hair
growth and bring back hair pigmentation.
The butter made from cow's milk has the property of preventing premature greying of hair. A small roll
may be taken internally and a little quantity may be massaged into the hair roots twice a week.
The vitamins considered useful in guarding against premature greying of hair are pantothenic acid, para-
aminobenzoic acid (paba), inositol. The minimum daily requirement of these vitamins appears to be 10 mg
of pantothenic acid, 100 mg of para-aminobenzoic acid, and 2 gm of inositol. To obtain satisfactory results,
all three of these vitamins belonging to the B group should be supplied at one time, preferably in a form
which supplies all the B vitamins, such as yeast and liver. The three anti-greying-hair vitamins can also be
produced in the intestinal tract by bacteria. Thus, taking a sufficient quantity of yoghurt daily and a
tablespoonful of yeast before each meal is an excellent remedy for the prevention and treatment of
premature greying of hair. If one wishes to take tablets of calcium pantothenate and para-aminobenzoic
acid (paba), they should be taken in addition to the yeast and yoghurt, and not as a substitute for them.
OBESITY
Trifala, an herbal combination of amalaki, bibbitaki, and haritaki is good for losing weight.
The leaves of jujube or Indian plum are another valuable remedy for obesity. A handful of leaves should be

This treatment should be continued for at least one month to achieve beneficial results.
Cabbage is considered to be an excellent home remedy for obesity. Recent research has revealed that a
valuable chemical called tartaric acid is present in this vegetable which inhibits the conversion of sugar and
other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction. Substituting a meal with
cabbage salad would be the simplest way to stay slim.
One or two ripe tomatoes taken early morning as a substitute for breakfast, for a couple of months, are
considered a safe method of weight reduction. They also supply the food elements essential to preserve
health.
Finger millet is an ideal food for the obese, because its digestion is slow and due to this, the carbohydrates
take a longer time to get absorbed. By eating preparations made of finger millet, the constant desire to eat is
curbed, thus reducing the daily calorie intake. At the same time, finger millet supplies an abundant quantity
of calcium, phosphorus, iron, Vitamin B1 and B2 and prevents malnutrition in spite of restricted food.

act as a very effective nerve tonic and recharge the nerves with new energy and life.
The cashewnut is another valuable remedy for general depression and nervous weakness. It is rich in

strained and taken in small doses throughout the day.

Depression treatment using Vitamin B
Diet has a profound effect on the mental health of a person. Even a single nutritional
deficiency can cause depression in susceptible people. Nutritional therapy builds up brain
chemicals, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, that affect the mood and are often
lacking in depressed people. Eating foods rich in vitamin B, such as wholegrains, green
vegetables, eggs, and fish helps restore vitality and cheer in an individual.
