Indian borage

I know the usage of this plant right from the time I have realised that I am a human. We southern Indian people cannot have a garden without Tulsi (basil) or Indian borage plants in it. We use it to treat various minor ailments with these two hers. While I have been screaming about basil in many of my posts, today I will do it with Indian Borage.

Indian Borage can treat eczema. All you need to do is take few fresh leaves, squeeze it and rub the juice along with the leaf on the affected part of the skin.

Jaundice is easily curable if you follow a strict diet that includes no spice and oil and consume few leaves of Indian Borage for around a week. If you do not want to chew the leaf then keep the leaf on a hot pan and let it change it's color a little bit, once done, squeeze them together. Quite a good amount of liquid will be extracted. Mix it with honey or salt and gulp it before you have anything else early in the morning.

Indian Borage is also used to treat indigestion, cough and cold in kids and adults. Extract the juice and add rock salt to it.

I admit that the taste is not pleasant, but then this is among some things that your body needs 😉
