Due to many of my friends and family suffering from cough and common cold I was bound to find some first aid treatements that are quick and not so dirty 
All time ladies favorite Acne: Apply a turmeric and sandalwood powder paste externally using half a teaspoonful of each and adding sufficient water to make the paste. One may also take a half cupful of aloe vera juice internally two times per day until the acne clears.
With smog and suspended particles hovering around the nose level, we are bound to intake more fumes and unwanted particle in winters than summers. Asthma: Licorice and ginger tea is recommended. Use half a teaspoonful of the combined herbs in one cupful of water. Another remedy for internal use is one-fourth cupful of onion juice with one teaspoonful of honey and one-eighth teaspoonful of black pepper. This relieves the congestion and cough and alleaviates breathlessness.
With all those heavy warm wollens sometimes Backache strikes: Apply ginger paste and then eucalyptus oil to the affected area.
Did not do your brush… hmmm… water was cold ahaan…. Bad breadth can be cured: cleanse the mouth with licorice powder and eat fennel seeds. One may also take one half cupful of aloe vera juice twice a day until freshness is restored to the breath.
Cold: Boil one tablespoonful of ginger powder in one quart of water and inhale the steam. Eucalyptus leaves boiled in the same way are also excellent for the relief of colds. Eucalyptus oil applied to the sides of the nose will help to relieve congestion. Calamus root powder may also be used as a snuff inhale a pinch in each nostril.
Cough: Gargle one glass of warm water to which a pinch of salt and two pinches of turmeric powder have been added. Also suck a whole clove with a piece of rock candy. If a cough brings up mucus, take one half teaspoonful of ginger powder, one pinch of clove and one pinch of cinnamon powder in one cupful of boiled water as a tea.
Constipation: Take senna leaf tea (one teaspoon in one cup of water), or take one teaspoonful of ghee in a glass of hot milk at bedtime. Another remedy is one glass of water boiled with one tablespoonful of flax seed to be drunk at bedtime.
If you had too much at a party late night Gas will trouble you, Mix one pinch of baking soda with one cupful of water and the juice of one half lemon and drink to alleviate that air trapped inside.
I generally get Rash if I wear warm wollens: Apply the pulp of cilantro leaf to the affected area or drink coriander tea (1 teaspoonful of coriander seeds to 1 cupful of water).
Sinus congestion: Apply ginger paste to the affected area or inhale one pinch of calamus root powder. Also my personal favourite, drink one glass of water that is mixed with two tablespoon of salt after brushing and vomit, all the Kapha clogging the chest will be out soon.
Sore throat: Had too much of cold stuff, hmmm… just gargle with hot water mixed with one forth teaspoon of turmeric powder and a pinch of salt.
Please note the way to good health.
Feet should be warm (keep them cozy), stomach smooth (not six pack or wash board but no constipation or diarrhea) and head cool (not cold but tension/stress free). If you keep this in mind, you will be hale and hearty all year long.
