[www.keralites.net] Indian Spices

Why Indian food is so delicious: Scientists say our love of curry is down to a lack of overlapping flavours :- Scientists studied the chemical compounds in 2,000 Indian dishes

They found ingredients were teamed together that had no similarity
This is in contrast to many Western dishes that tend to pair flavours
Out of the 381 cooking ingredients in the world, Indian food uses 200
Out of the 381 cooking ingredients in the world, the research team from that Indian food used 200 in their cuisine. 'Each of the spices is uniquely placed in its recipe to shape the flavor sharing pattern with rest of the ingredients,' the researchers said

COULD CURRY BE USED TO BANISH BAD MEMORIES?
A spice commonly used in curry could help erase bad memories, according to a study.
Curcumin, a bright-yellow compound found in the root of the Indian spice turmeric, prevented new fear memories being stored in the brain, and also removed pre-existing fear memories, researchers found.
It is hoped that the findings will help develop treatments for people suffering with psychological disorders.
'Each of the spices is uniquely placed in its recipe to shape the flavour sharing pattern with rest of the ingredients,' the researchers said.
Previous research has found curry could actually be good for you, easing arthritis and even protecting people from Alzheimer's.
Most curries contain turmeric, cumin, allspice, cardamon, ginger, garlic and capsicum - spices with strong anti-bacterial properties.
This is largely why they're found in dishes from hot countries, where meat needs to be preserved.
Separate studies have found that garlic, cinnamon and cumin can destroy up to 80 per cent of meat-borne bacteria, while ginger can slow bacterial growth by 25 per cent.

[www.keralites.net] Home Remedy For Aching Throat

Effective Home Remedies for an Aching Throat
The throat itches, is swollen and burning, and even the simple act of swallowing becomes a scary prospect? You're not alone! Throat aches are some of the most common phenomenon as we move into the winter season.
Here are 10 ways you can calm that aching throat down without having to go see a doctor:

1. Keep your nasal passageways open

Doctors agree that two of the most common causes of throat pain are the buildup of snot and dryness, that occur mostly from breathing too much through the mouth when the nasal passageways are closed.

There are materials that fight nose congestion, especially those containing Pseudofrin (no need to doctor's note) which will help open the nasal passageways.

Using nose sprays (with a salt water solution) may also help keep those passageways open and breathing easier.

tea

2. Home remedies to gargle with:

Salt Water: This is the old favorite, and you can create it by mixing 1/4 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water (the warmer the better, within your tolerance levels, don't let it get cold or loses effectiveness). If you have it at home, this is a good time to add 1 tablespoon of Listerine for its germ killing benefits. This you gargle several times a day, and will help you to rinse and neutralize acids in your throat. You will notice that the burning sensation is going down and the area will usually start to heal. Don't let up on the gargling.

Raspberry Tea: Pour a glass of boiling water on 2 tea spoons of raspberry dried leaves, soak for 10 minutes and then filter. You can add 1 tea spoon of apple vinegar and/or honey, and then gargle 4 times a day.

Sage Leaves: Mix 1 spoon of sage leaves with 1 cup of boiling water, soak for 10 minutes and then filter. You can add 1 tea spoon of apple vinegar and/or honey, and then gargle 4 times a day.

Turmeric: For a burning sensation in your throat, mix 1 cup of boiling water with 1/2 a spoon of turmeric (anti inflammation) and 1/2 a spoon of salt. Gargle twice a day. If you hate gargling, you can also mix 1/2 a spoon of turmeric with 1 glass of hot milk, and slowly sip it.

Hot sauce and water: Hot peppers containt a material called capsicum which alleviates pain and reduce inflammation. You can prepare this by grinding a cayenne pepper and adding 5 shakes of the ground material to a cup of hot water. Warning: it WILL burn, buy try to gargle this every 15-30 minutes and see if it does the trick.

When the body is aching and weak, logic dictates that you rest. Same goes for throat ache. It's very important to save up your energy, to allow the body to fight the infection. If the throat pain doesn't require medical attention, resting will help cut down the healing time.

3. Horseradish Cocktail

A traditional Russian remedy: Mix 1 cup of hot water with 1 table spoon of pure horseradish (or a horseradish root) with 1 table spoon of honey and 1 table spoon of cloves. Sip slowly over the course of an hour.

4. Vinegar

A useful home remedy based on apple vinegar: Take 1 cup of hot water and mix 1 table spoon of honey and 1 table spoon of apple vinegar. Sip slowly without letting the liquid cool down. Drink as often as possible.

For gargling: Mix 1 spoon of salt, 1/2 a cup of vinegar and 1 cup of hot water. Drink every 15 minutes as needed.

* Be sure to melt the salt in the vinegar before adding the water.

5. Rest

What does resting have to do with a sore throat? A lot. While you rest, your body has more energy to fight the infection in your throat. If you've taken some of our home remedies, be sure to rest between to give your body a fighting chance.

6. Citrus Fruits

Lemon Juice: Mix 1 cup of hot water with 1 table spoon of honey and 1

table spoon of squeezed lemon juice. Sip slowly.

Lime Juice: Mix 1 table spoon of lime juice with 1 table spoon of honey in hot water, and drink as needed.

7. Steam

An old remedy for an aching throat is a steam tent. Sit with your face over a steaming bowl of hot water and cover your head with a towel to keep the steam in. Add 1-2 drops of Eucalyptus extract for a much greater help.

8. Lozenges

Some doctors say that sugar can help reduce throat ache and accompanying cough, but even Lozenges without sugar can calm down an aching throat by keeping your mouth and throat moist, which will make you feel less pain.

9. Popsicles

An ice popsicle can calm down a burning throat. Make sure you aren't sucking on the popsicle, but cutting small pieces and letting them melt in your mouth.

10. Drink plenty of liquids

This may go without saying, but when you suffer from an aching throat, you should drink at least 8-10 cups of water a day (preferably not cold water). This will keep your throat well oiled, will prevent the dry feeling you get and even aid the fight against inflammation.

[www.keralites.net] 5 Herbs That Heal

POWER PACKED WONDER - 5 HERBS THAT HEAL

Traditional herbal and ayurvedic remedies are now getting popular along with allopathic medicines and statistics reveal that 4 out of every 5 Indians rely on traditional medicines. No wonder many are reviving a preference for a concoction of honey, ginger and tulsi (basil) leaves over a cough syrup when struck by cold and cough.

Herbs that heal-5 herbs to keep u healthy

Though most herbs are known to be effective as conventional medicines, there are a few special ones that give you an extra health bonus.

Aloe vera: Very popular as an anti-acne product, Aloe vera is now an herbal component that has maximum applications in cosmetic and beauty products. The efficiency of this fleshy green plant is evident by the fact that this plant has been used since centuries ago by several cultures, in Greece, India, Egypt, China and Japan for different medicinal purposes.

Power packed with over 75 active ingredients ranging from enzymes, sugars, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and antiseptic and healing properties, aloe vera restores lost elasticity of the skin, makes it less wrinkled and even protects the skin from the ill-effects of radiation. Being an amazing antiseptic, aloe vera also helps speed up healing of wounds. This plant is also effective in flushing out toxins and waste from the body. Furthermore, it also acts as a great laxative by increasing intestinal water, mucus secretion and intestinal peristalsis. The ability of aloe vera to regenerate cells makes it a great anti-wrinkle agent that and also reduces stretch marks and scars and speeds up the healing of pimples and acne.

Though internal dosage of aloe vera requires prior consent of a doctor or an herbalist, topical application of aloe vera is extremely safe and effective. People with sensitive skin should do a patch test before proceeding with application.

Tulsi: Also known as the holy basil in India, this plant which is considered sacred in certain traditions has fragrant leaves known to aid digestive function. A simple 100mg per kilo of body weight consumption of tulsi leaves is thought to reduce acid secretion and protect the mucous membrane of the stomach wonderfully. Another bonus — it also heals ulcers.

Tulsi leaves are loaded with phytochemicals that possess strong antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant and immunity enhancing properties that make a body strong and fit to fight different ailments. Its use has also been renowned for cold and cough as it helps mobilize the mucus and induce its expulsion from the body. Tulsi capsules are easily available at an Ayurvedic store. You can also gargle with a glass of water boiled with tulsi leaves.

Turmeric: Turmeric needs absolutely no introduction in Indian households. This yellow-colored root is first dried, powdered and then used for a variety of purposes including flavoring, coloring and as a stimulant. However, very few people know its medicinal value.

People having cold and cough can benefit by consuming a teaspoon of honey with a pinch of turmeric powder. A substance called curcumin, which is an important part of turmeric, has wonderful antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties that are useful in the treatment of arthritis.

Garlic: A pungent, flavorsome herb from the onion family, garlic has a variety of medicinal uses and its application dates back to ancient Egypt.

Indians are at a much lesser risk of developing colon and cervical cancer due to their liberal use of spices and condiments in their food preparation. Garlic, in particular is extremely beneficial and helps prevent many grave ailments like high blood pressure, gastric cancer and high blood cholesterol. A recent study conducted by Tagore Medical College, Udaipur, revealed that regular garlic consumption by heart patients showed a significant change and improvement in their condition and they experienced a significant drop in their blood pressure rates and revealed reduced chances of mortality.

Heart patients often suffer from angina (chest pain), which can be easily controlled by regular intake of garlic. You can't go wrong with this versatile herb. Add it to your soups and gravies; it adds flavor and boosts heart health too.

Fenugreek seeds: An Asian herb with aromatic seeds, fenugreek has been used since long to counter appetite loss, reduce blood sugar levels, and to aid healing of ulcers and boils.

A clinical study conducted by the Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad found that the cholesterol levels of patients who were given 25gms of powdered fenugreek seeds before meals everyday were significantly lower than those who weren't given fenugreek..

Needless to say, fenugreek is an all-rounder, as it is recommended for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol problems.
