Karpooravalli Kashayam is an excellent home
remedy for cold and cough. Kashayam is the term used in Tamilnadu by our
ancestors to treat cold, cough, fever, head ache etc. Kashayam is usually
prepared with herbs at home. They are prepared by boiling water with herbs and
boil it until the water reduces to certain extent.
In this kashayam each of
these leaves used have their own medicinal values and benefits. Karpooravalli Leaves
are used to treat common cold, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion,
indigestion rheumatism and so on. Betel Leaves/Vetrilai is an excellent ailment
for sore throat, improves digestion, anti inflammatory, helps in treating
respiratory problems, relieves cough etc. Next is tulasi helps in relieving
fever, improves respiratory disorders, great source of Vitamin K, relieves head ache, is used in treating
bronchitis, asthma etc. Tulasi is also called as “The Queen of Herbs” because
it has numerous medicinal values and benefits. Having said all this, my simple advice
to all my friends is to have all these three plants in your balcony or in your
back yard, this actually means you have your doctor at your home. I have these plants at home friends, so do
try to plant them at your backyard as well.
