Treatment for cold

Remedy 1

Mix 1 tbsp of coconut oil and 1 pinch of edible camphor (pachai karpooram / Borneal Flakes)

Warm this mixture and apply it on chest and forehead.

For kids :
Apply very little on the chest.
During cold weather, apply few drops on the feet and wear socks. This will prevent kids from getting cold.

Remedy 2

Heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil, add 10 cloves of crushed garlic and 5 crushed small onion (shallots).
Once it reaches fuming point, switch off and strain the oil.
Apply it on chest and forehead.

This can also be applied for kids. However make sure that it doesn't get into their eyes.
