What to do:
- Occupants of the house should hang two bunches of Neem leaves at the main doorway of the house.
- Neem leaves have extraordinary properties and the leaves at the doorway act as a protective shield. They should be replaced with fresh ones once they are dried.
- A person who is sick should place the leaves on the bed and around the bedside and it will help the individual to recover swiftly.
- Neem bark, leaves, flowers, seed and fruit pulp are used to treat a wide range of diseases because they have powerful healing benefits.
- Occupants should wash their house entrance every morning with water mixed with saffron and Neem leaves because both have cleansing and anti-bacterial qualities.
- The basil plant, which can also help purify the atmosphere, should be grown or placed in a pot in the front and back of the house. It is a unique plant and it is known as an excellent green for absorbing negative energy that flows into a property.
- Basil is widely used in Ayurvedic treatments for fever, cold, coughs, sore throat, respiratory disorders and many other health issues.
- In the case of fever, the leaves should be boiled with powdered cardamom in water and mixed with sugar and milk. This will bring down temperature.
- Drinking the juice extracted from basil leaves can also bring down fever.
- Chewing on the leaves relieves cold and flu symptoms.
- To ease a sore throat, drink water boiled with basil leaves or use the water to gargle
- Basil leaves work well to relieve headaches when the leaves are pounded and mixed with sandalwood paste and applied on the forehead.
