Hey
gals…..
Am back with a post on hw our trends changed…
Was using moisturiser and was looking @ my granny…. Was thinking
when she was young there were no these 1000 brands which we have.. but still I see
her skin is toned up properly moisturised and her hair is long thick….
Sat with her and checked what the secret is before 80 yrs…
She said me….many many things i knw u would need patience to read this....
- Daily she used to brush her teeth with neem stick…. No toothpaste so no fluoride…
- She strts her day by having 4 tulasi leaves….. good for PCOS which many of our gals are facing
- Later goes to kitchen and prepares food for the family… good exercise and concentration
- When she goes to kitchen she does many things out there which evn keeps her skin and hair glow.
- When she boils milk, she makes sure she applies the skin which is a layer u get on milk mixed with turmeric and honey….
What happens here.
- “The skin” layer on boiled mil has moisturized your skin
- Turmeric reduces scare/pimples and any marks, gives glow
- Honey is blended toner and moisturizer…
Later there were days were the water for bath used to be
boiled on mud stoves…. She used u sit near them which used to give steam effect
for her face.
Then before she used to take bath, she used to make sure she apply Castrol to her hair and body completely.
This is used to hair growth and reduces hair fall as well. For body it helps in reducing body heat and helps in muscle contraction. A pinch of turmeric is mixed here too…
Later when the water is boiling she used to add neem leaves
in water which is used to kill germs in water and on skin too…
She used to use gram flour to rinse of the Castrol applied,
as she has dry skin she mixes this gram flour with milk and apply.
For hair those were days which they used to oil every day
using coconut and Castrol and take head bath 2 times in a week.
For hair they used to use soap nut with hibiscus powder/leafs
which is for conditioning and dry hair in sunlight only..
This used to keep her hair and skin moist whole day...
In the night she used to apply ghee or butter to her lips
which used to keep her lips moist… trust me this is super cool remedy
And I never saw my mom or granny leaving there hair and
sleeping it is always knotted…
.

They used to have whole fruits, no juices unless they are
sick
Food is served hot no old stuff heating in oven
She says tender coconut is her favourite drink :O
Hey u know what surprised me more…. They used to starve 1 whole day, which is good for internal body cleansing…..
All festive and festive foods had some meanings to them…..
Hmmm pheww very few long ones but very good ones…
