Nutmeg Health!!!

Nutmeg (known as Jaiphal in India) is generally taken for granted in
recipes like that of cakes and bakes. But did you take its health
effects granted too?
I underestimated the values of nutmeg thinking that it was just a
spice to perk up the flavour in soups, soufflés and cakes. If it was
not available in the store, I never tried to hunt it down in the
market too. Though substantially not proven, the health benefits of
nutmeg are many in the ancient beliefs. Modern research shows that
some of the health benefits are indeed true, if used in moderation.
The Ancient Beliefs

Nutmeg is a remedy for stomach cramps
It can alleviate cardio vascular problems
It can be a cure to plague
A great brain tonic to stimulate the brain
It can cure gastric problems, soothe stomach ache, stop diarrhoea
and vomiting, and also enhance appetite
Provide relief to asthma, cold and cough
An excellent liver tonic to help detoxification

The Modern Findings
Nutmeg can be used in the powdered form or as an oil taken from the
seed of the plant. The nutmeg oil is a volatile essential oil used as
a sedative, stimulant, relaxing, anti inflammatory, antiseptic and
bactericide. It contains myristicin, elemicin, eugenol, and safrole.
Other than for flavouring,due to its medicinal benefits it also has a
significant presence in cosmetics, cough syrups, tooth pastes and the
like.

The anti inflammatory properties makes nutmeg a great remedy for
treating muscular aches, joint pains and sores. Topical use is
recommended for instant pain relief from arthritis, rheumatism,
lumbago etc.
Using nutmeg in food will help your digestive system by aiding
digestion, removing gas from stomach and intestine and curing
flatulence.
Instant stress relief is another benefit of using nutmeg wisely.
It will tone the brain and enhance mental activity.
As you relax and optimize your sleep with its sedative effect,
nutmeg also works to lower your blood pressure.
The anti bacterial properties of nutmeg kill the cavity causing
bacteria in the mouth and keep mouth odour at bay. Treat toothaches by
keeping a few drops of nutmeg oil in a cotton swab on the aching
tooth!
Use nutmeg oil as a cold rub for relief from colds and coughs!
For kidney health and liver health, nutmeg is believed to be a
good detoxifier if used in moderation.

Safety Concerns
A pinch or two can be used in the cuisine to spice up the dishes. A
little extra would be fatal. It is not advisable to use nutmeg powder
or oil if you are pregnant or are lactating though its use in culinary
at that time should be harmless.
Use and Storage
Always use freshly ground nutmeg powder for your cuisine. Grate the
pod only when needed as a pod can remain fresh for a year. Store
nutmeg in an airtight container and the used pod in a plastic wrap to
retain its oil content.

Healthy cooking secrets !!!

Instead of frying the pappad just apply oil or ghee on the pappad and keep it in the MW. you will get very nice fried one with in a min. Try this.


You can do this for 'kuzh vathal' and also 'Javvaasi vathal' also. In my family we do this often.


For cheese toast or for other dishes use melted or grilled cheese. Use grated cheese instead of slices; you’ll use less.


Instead of potato chips, make potato wedges, and bake them in the oven instead of frying.

Try using other veges instead of – or combined with – potatoes for interesting mash. Pumpkin, chow chow or onion or cauliflower all make tasty and healthy mash.You can use any type of greens also in this.
Grated fruit and vegetables like apple, carrot and beetroot can replace some of the sugar and fat in baking recipes.

Wholemeal flour can substitute for white flour in baking and adds fiber. Experiment with your favorite recipes: start by replacing a quarter of the white flour with wholemeal. Up to two-thirds of the flour in most recipes could be wholemeal.

Icing on cakes can be replaced with a combination of filtered yogurt and honey, fruit or drinking chocolate.

Add chopped dates or figs to replace some of the sugar in cakes and slices. These add a chewy texture and extra fiber.

While making custard, always use low fat milk. You won’t notice it in the final product.

Plain yogurt is delicious when served with some grated fruit. Add a little grated, dark chocolate for an extra touch,for children.

For a good breakfast in a hurry: - fruit, yogurt, milk and oats for a complete breakfast in a drink.
Keep a small container of nuts in your desk drawer for a simple, instant snack.

Vegetable soup and whole grain toast makes a warming, hearty lunch.

Buy reduced-fat versions of dairy products, meat and prepared meals.
Buy whole grain or brown versions of bread, pasta and rice.

Replace potato chips with rice crackers or pita crisps.


Replace 1 cup cream with 1 cup light & creamy evaporated milk, combined with 1 tablespoon cornflour.

Use coconut-flavored evaporated milk instead of coconut milk.

Use Light Cream Cheese spread is an excellent butter substitute on toast, sandwiches and fruit bread; it’s low in fat and tastes great.

Use fresh fruit with low-fat plain yogurt instead of using sweetened yogurt on cereal.

Enjoy healthy cooking!

Home Remedies For Ear infection

The human ear is composed of the inner ear, middle ear, and the outer
ear. Ear infection can attack any of these parts and one part can
usually infect the others. External otitis affects the outer ear some
times it comes after cold or flu or some other kind of upper
respiratory infection. The area from the eardrum to the outer part,
becomes inflamed and is very painful, sometimes a fever may be
developed. Otitis media affects the area inside the eardrum and all
the small bones, the air pressure is regulated in this area by the
auditory tube running from the ear to the back of the nasal cavity,
when bacteria or a virus gets in this area, the different parts become
inflamed with fluid, causing pressure and extremely sharp pain in the
ear with fever. If the infection is not controlled it can result in
eardrum perforation letting all pressure out and relieving pain, but a
perforated eardrum means loss of hearing and fluid discharge. This
kind of ear infection is very common in infants due to the position of
the baby while feeding allowing milk bacteria to grow in the auditory
tube.

Breathing Therapy

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.

Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference.

... The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.

During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.

In about 5 mins, your headache will go?

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.

After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ?

If left is faster, you will feel tired.

So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults.

My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor.

There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study.

He took painkillers, did not work.

He decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose.

In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month.

This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.

So, why not give it a try?
