HEALTH TIPS
Umeboshi plum, a naturally processed, pickled plum found in abundance in Asia, is rich in organic acids, especially citric acid and phosphoric acid. It helps in balancing the symptoms of excessively acidic conditions like fatigue, morning sickness, headaches and anaemia. It’s also excellent for curing diarrhea and hangovers.
Cardamom increases appetite and soothes the mucous membrane. It relieves the gas and heartburn caused by garlic and onion. Gargling with an infusion of cardamom and cinnamon cures pharyngitis and sore-throats. However, excessive use of cardamom may lead to impotency.
