Natural and Ayurvedic Hair Dye using Garlic

Using chemical and ammonia based liquid hair dye is dangerous for scalp and hair health.
You will lose hair quicker than normal.
Using henna based powder hair dye will make hair dull and color will lose soon.
Frequent re-coloring will make hair look more duller.
So, here is a natural method to make long lasting hair dye using peel of layer over garlic.
PROCEDURE to make natural hair dye :
1. Take garlic peel(outer skin like layer) in large quantity because on making ash it will come to small quantity.
2. Roast the garlic peel on a pan till it becomes black ash.
3. Filter the ash to get fine powder with a cotton cloth.
4. Add olive oil to this ash to make it just like hair die.
5. Preserve it for 7 days(do not store in refrigerator) in glass bottle in darkness.
6. After 7 days apply it to hair in the same way as hair die. Preferably apply it at evening times and have head bath next morning.
7. For still better results don’t do head bath the next day instead keep it like that for 2 to 3 days and then have a bath.

This hair color will give natural black look to hair and will last for long period and also keeps hair healthy because of oilve oil mixture.
Also add biotin, zinc, iron, iodine and protein supplements to your diet to keep hair healthy and in natural color.

Simple FAQs on A(H1N1)/ Swine Flu

Below are some FAQs we felt necessary to broadcast so as to do our bit to contain the outbreak of A(H1N1), also known as Swine Flu.

What can I do to protect myself from catching influenza A(H1N1)?

The main route of transmission of the new influenza A(H1N1) virus seems to be similar to seasonal influenza, via droplets that are expelled by speaking, sneezing or coughing. You can prevent getting infected by avoiding close contact with people who show influenza-like symptoms (trying to maintain a distance of about 1 metre if possible) and taking the following measures:

·         avoid touching your mouth and nose;

·         clean hands thoroughly with soap and water, or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub on a regular basis (especially if touching the mouth and nose, or surfaces that are potentially contaminated);

·         avoid close contact with people who might be ill;

·         reduce the time spent in crowded settings if possible;

·         improve airflow in your living space by opening windows;

·         practise good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.

·         If you are not sick you do not have to wear a mask.

How do I know if I have influenza A(H1N1)?

You will not be able to tell the difference between seasonal flu and influenza A(H1N1) without medical help. Typical symptoms to watch for are similar to seasonal viruses and include fever, cough, headache, body aches, sore throat and runny nose. Only your medical practitioner and local health authority can confirm a case of influenza A(H1N1).

What should I do if I think I have the illness?

If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat:

·         stay at home and keep away from work, school or crowds;

·         rest and take plenty of fluids;

·         cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing and, if using tissues, make sure you dispose of them carefully. Clean your hands immediately after with soap and water or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub;

·         if you do not have a tissue close by when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth as much as possible with the crook of your elbow;

·         use a mask to help you contain the spread of droplets when you are around others, but be sure to do so correctly;

·         inform family and friends about your illness and try to avoid contact with other people;

·         If possible, contact a health professional before traveling to a health facility to discuss whether a medical examination is necessary.

When should someone seek medical care?

A person should seek medical care if they experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or if a fever continues more than three days. For parents with a young child who is ill, seek medical care if a child has fast or labored breathing, continuing fever or convulsions (seizures).

Supportive care at home - resting, drinking plenty of fluids and using a pain reliever for aches - is adequate for recovery in most cases. (A non-aspirin pain reliever should be used by children and young adults because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.)

Should I go to work or travel if I have the flu but am feeling OK?

No. Whether you have influenza A(H1N1) or a seasonal influenza, you should stay home and away from work through the duration of your symptoms. This is a precaution that can protect your work colleagues and others.

For cash withdrawn abroad, the charge is 3.5 per cent of the total amount withdrawn.

 

India has over 32,000 Automated Teller Machines spread all over the country.

FEW HOME REMEDIES TO AVOID SWINEFLU TO SOME EXTENT

The following are few home remedies to avoid swineflu to some extent,

 

(1)  Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi (known as Basil in English; medicinal name Ocimum sanctum) everyday in the morning. Tulsi has a large number of therapeutic properties. It keeps throat and lungs clear and helps in infections by way of strengthening your immunity.

 

(2)  A small piece of camphor (karpooram) approximately the size of a tablet should be taken once or twice a month. It can be swallowed with water by adults while children can take it along with mashed potatoes or banana because they will find it difficult to have it without any aides. Please remember camphor is not to be taken everyday, but only once each season, or once a month.

 

(3)  Those who can take garlic, must have two pods of raw garlic first thing in the morning. To be swallowed daily with lukewarm water. Garlic too strengthens immunity like the earlier measures mentioned.

 

(4)  Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).

 

(5)  Aloe vera (gwarpatha) too is a commonly available plant. Its thick and long, cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel. A teaspoon gel taken with water daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains, but also boost immunity.     

 

(6)  Take homeopathic medicines — Pyrogenium 200 and Inflenzium 200 in particular — five tablets three times a day, or two-three drops three times a day. While these are not specifically targeted at H1N1 either, these work well as preventive against common flu virus

 

(7)  Do Pranayama daily (preferably under guidance if you are already not initiated into it) and go for morning jog/walk regularly to keep your throat and lungs in good condition and body in fine fettle. Even in small measures, it will work wonders for your body’s resistance against all such diseases which attack the nose, throat and lungs, besides keeping you fit.

 

(8)  Wash your hands frequently every day with soap and warm water for 15-20 seconds; especially before meals, or each time after touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu virus such as a door handle or a knob/handle, especially if you have returned from a public place or used public transport. Alcohol-based hand cleaners should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and warm water.

 

 

Note**** Please take Homeopathic Medicines based on the suggestion of certified medical practitioner to avoid side effects.
