Those were the pleasant days of cool and sunny winters, in the month of December 2012. My dear friend was getting married and I had been invited to attend her wedding reception, at Jayanagar. It was a day to look forward to, which had the promise of lots of fun and the time to have joyous moments with the newlyweds, who were very much in love.
Winters being winters, one does crave for comfort food and I was no exception. While I was out shopping for the best suited gift, I happened to enjoy two pieces of black forest cake at a renowned outlet that went on to satiate my carb craving; however, it ended up landing me in a soup!! As luck would have it, just 3 days prior to the wedding reception, a prominent and an ugly looking pimple erupted on the right side of my cheek. It was annoying because it was painful, too. Each time I stared at my reflection, I felt helpless for I could neither think of attending the function with the beauty spot nor could I dare to miss it. Since I keep off medication of all kinds, it posed a big question in my mind to zero upon the most effective remedy, in just 3 days’ time. The big challenge winked at me wickedly, to say the least!
I silently prayed to the Universe for help as I truly believe that prayers do have strong power! And there came my mother to my rescue. She quietly handed me the two ingredients that went on to become the answer to my prayers. The next morning as I scrutinized my face in the bathroom mirror, I knew that I had been handed over the magic wand for sure. My astonishment knew no bounds to note that within the next two days, I had gotten freed from the clutches of the unwanted aftermath of the sweet overindulgence.
The keen focus of wanting to keep off any chemical or medication, had paid off successfully and therefore, I heaved a sigh of great relief and thanked my mother. The best part was there was no blemish left behind. Thus, the challenge was won over by the simple home remedy in combination with a few vitamins (*refer my last blog- water soluble in this case).
To be candid, I had prepared myself the best concoction to fight the condition wherein, the following were taken care:
• I had to replace back the Vitamin B-Complex that had been flushed out, due to the consumption of excessive sugar and heavy carbohydrate
• Fight back the infection with the right Vitamins(water soluble)
• Needed a drying agent which was natural
• A soothing antiseptic which was again natural and thus devoid of any chemical
Here, I am sharing the details of the magic potion that has since been my best treatment option!! It works well for any cuts, burns, fungal infections, few skin infections or the likes.
Ingredients:
• Potable water
• Organic turmeric powder
• Pure sandalwood powder/ alternatively grate the sandalwood stick on a flat stone mortar (Picture attached)
Method:
• Mix equal quantities of both the powders with water to form a thick paste
• Apply on the boil or pimple
• Allow it to dry up completely
• Repeat the application few times, until the pimple disappears completely
Extra care: replenishing of vitamins
• Have good amount of curd & green leafy vegetables
• Keep off fried food and high carb/starchy food like potato/sugary food items
• Drink good amount of water with a few drops of lime/ lemon juice, in each glass
Time of application (depends upon the urgency of getting cured)
• Once/ twice a day/ thrice a per day
• Bedtime is the best time, though
Now that you know it, you could give a try and feel the magic for yourself!!
