மஞ்சள், பால், மிளகின் ரகசியம் தெரியுமா!
விடாமல் அடிக்கடி இருமிக் கொண்டிருப்பவர்களுக்கும், நெஞ்சில் சளி
உறைந்திருப்பவர்களுக்கும் அருமருந்து தான் மஞ்சள், பால் மற்றும்
மிளகு.
*குறைந்தது ஒரு வாரத்திற்கு இரவில் ஒரு டம்ளர் பாலில் ஒரு
சிட்டிகை
அளவுக்கு மஞ்சள் தூள், மிளகுத்தூளை சேர்த்து அருந்தி வரவேண்டும்.
நான்கைந்து நாளிலேயே சளி, இருமல் பறந்தோடி விடும்.
*இந்த வைத்தியத்தைத்தான் இன்றளவும் கிராமங்களில் பலர்
கடைபிடிக்கிறார்கள்.
*மிளகையும், மஞ்சளையும் சமையலில் அன்றாடம் நாம் சேர்த்துக்
கொள்வதற்குக் காரணம் அவற்றின் மருத்துவ குணங்களால் தான்.
*பொதுவாக மஞ்சள் ஒரு நோய் எதிர்ப்பு சக்தி கொண்டது. இது உடலில்
உட்புகும் நோய்க்கிருமிகளை அழித்தொழிக்கும் ஆற்றல் பெற்றது.
*அதேபோல மிளகுக்கும் அதீத மருத்துவ சக்தி உள்ளது. உடலில்
உருவாகும் வாய்வுத் தொந்தரவுகளை அறவே நீக்குகிறது. சளியை
விரட்டும் சக்தி மிளகுக்கு உள்ளது.
*மிளகின் காரமும், மஞ்சளின் நோய் எதிர்ப்பு சக்தியும் ஒருங்கே
உடலில் சேரும்போது, இருமல், சளி சரியாகிவிடும்.
