ARMPIT SWEATING:
I sweat excessively. My shirt is always stained with sweat, even in winter season. Summer is approaching; please tell me some way so that I may get rid of this sweat. [Safina Hayat; Rawalpindi]
SUGGESTION:
Some people’s pores get opened. Usually ladies keep a piece of alum in their purse. They rub alum in their underarms properly after every bath. In this way clothes are not stained with sweat. You can get tea bags easily from market. Boil water and dip a tea bag in one cup of water. When the color is extracted out of the teabag then squeeze it and rub it on your underarms. After that, dip cotton in tea water and rub it in your underarms. Tea contains tunic acid in it which helps to tighten the pores. Try it and consult your doctor as well. These are all tips, but what is the real cause behind sweating? This only your doctor can tell you.
My face shrinks up:
My face gets shrank up whether it is summer or winter. Complexion of face also remains poor and I got freckles. My face looks weird. My intake of water is very less. Please tell me some solution of this problem. [Sophia]
SUGGESTION:
Respected madam! Intake of water in winter season is usually less, but you drink less water even in summers which is not the right thing to do. In winters, drink carrot juice daily. Eat vegetables, salad and fruits. In morning take one tablespoon of cucumber juice, 1/4th tablespoon of lemon juice and grinded dried rose petals. Mix them all together and apply it on your face for 10 minutes and then wash it. Beside this, take 2 tablespoon of gram pulse (chaneykidaal) and add this much quantity of warm milk in it so that the pulse is covered up with milk. Keep it soaked overnight. Grind it in morning and mix 2 grinded almonds, pinch of turmeric powder and few lemon drops in it. Apply it on your face at night. When it is dried up remove by rubbing with your hands and sleep without washing your face. Wash face in the morning, your complexion will be clear. Freckles will also be cleared in few days. After that, you can apply paste of aloe on your face daily for 10 minutes. This will make your face soft and silky.
CRYING IS A GREAT BLESSING:
My child didn’t cry for even one minute when he was born. Now he is 1 and half years old. He cannot stand neither is he able to walk. Doctors say that his some nerve didn’t got oxygen because of not crying, as a result of which his right hand and right leg is affected. He does everything with his left hand. How can his problem be solved? [Um-e-Kamran]
SUGGESTION:
This ailment arises because of different causes. One reason is the high blood pressure of mother. Anyways do no lose hope. Allah is the most beneficent and merciful. Right now massage daily with olive oil. Olive oil has cure in it. Continue the treatment. If anybody from our readers know anything about this issue then please do share it. Such children who become skeleton-like, even they are cured by the verses of Quran. Don’t worry; some solution will definitely find your way. Take proper care of kid’s diet. Give him honey in breakfast.
Taste of water:
I have no idea water is mixed with what kind of medicine that its taste changes and it stinks. Sometimes we are unable to drink this water. Can you tell me something in this regard? [RukhsarShahid; Lahore]
SUGGESTION:
Chlorine is mixed in water for its purification. If water is not purified, then one can get stomach or intestine diseases. Proper amount of chlorine is added after experimentation. Some people add chlorine in their water tanks in order to purify it. Sometimes due to its excessive or more than required amount, the water stinks. Now I don’t know that whether you yourself added this chemical or it is a governmental action.
One easy way is to fill up jugs and bottles with water and keep them open i.e. without caps or covers so that bubbles in water are eliminated. After one hour smell of medicine will be removed from water. Now you can drink it. Nowadays, mud coolers are available in market. If you can’t find them then you can use mud pot or mud vessel. Wash it and fill water containing chlorine in it. Mud will absorb everything and water will become odor-free. This is the easiest and best solution.
Even these days, some women boil water and after cooling it fill bottles so that clean water can be made available. If water is near boiling point then turn the stove off. In this way, one can have clean water and vessel also would not be wracked. Fuel would also be saved. Few people boil water for 5, 10 minutes.
Health is affected by drinking unfiltered water. Unfiltered water causes destruction in the body and affects the liver as well. It can cause stone in bladder. Water is a great blessing. In today’s world, millions of people are deprived of clean water. Filter and mineral water are available in market but they are far from the reach of common people. Try to drink clean water.
COUGH AND SORE THROAT:
We live in a village. Everyone is always suffering from cough, sore throat and temperature in our home. Please tell us some cure of throat. [Rana; Gujrat]
SUGGESTION:
There must be eucalyptustreesin your village. Pluck one branch containing 5, 6 leaves. Put these leaves in one glass of water and boil them. Cover it with lid when it starts boiling. Cover your head with a piece of cloth and take steam from it. Do not remove the lid entirely. Throat swelling will be cured by taking steam. Eucalyptuscontainssuch natural ingredients which kill germs and are beneficial for cough and flu. If you feel more pain in throat then tear 2 leaves of eucalyptus with your hand and boil them in one glass of water. Now drink this water in the morning and evening to clean your throat. You can also get licorice (mulethi)easily in village. If you have excessive cough then put small piece of licorice in your mouth and suck it.
