Dry Ginger Is The Best Remedy For Weight Loss And Many More Things

Dry ginger is called sukku in Tamil and sonth in Hindi. Dry ginger is our regular ginger which has been dried. To make dry ginger, the fresh ginger is soaked in water, after which the outer coating is removed and then it is sun dried to get white coated dry ginger. Each type of ginger also have their unique uses in home remedies and we never interchange them in remedies.

# Dry ginger is rubbed on a sandal wood stone (sandanakal), which is nothing but a large round smooth stone along with little boiled milk. If you don't have a sandalwood stone, you can rub it on any smooth stone. Make sure that the stone is smooth or it will be difficult to collect the paste from the stone. When you apply this paste on the fore head, it stings for some time. But then after some time the stinging vanishes and the paste dries to a thick coat on the forehead. It feels very good if you have a headache, especially headache due to cold. As this paste stings initially when applied, don't apply this paste for children. This same paste can be applied for arthritis too and it gives good relief.

# It is a tradition for Indian women to have oil bath on Fridays and then visit a Temple. Traditionally sesame oil is heated with spices like dry ginger, pepper corns, cumin seeds and garlic pods and then when the oil comes to lukewarm temperature, the oil is massaged well into the scalp. The oil should be lukewarm and should be massaged well into the scalp. One feels really refreshed and relaxed after a hot oil massage. I think in this fast pace of life, we should try to include these kind of age old traditions to keep us relaxed. Because we add spices like dry ginger, this oil can be safely used even in winter to be massaged into the scalp.
