To reduce body heat - Aloe vera

-
Things around us always teach us some silent lessons. Aloe vera and Jack fruit are few of these things that tells me the story of "Beauty and the Beast". Just because of their appearance, we cannot avoid them. Coming to Aloe vera, it may appear to be dry and hard plant but it's each leaf contains juicy gel that can be used for various cosmetic and medical purposes.

Here I provide the method of using Aloe vera to reduce body heat. Credits to my MIL, she gave me this health tip when all in our family was suffering from body heat at a same time. My son and I was having stomach ache, my husband was having eye itching and burning sensation. Following this gave us a desirable result. So that made me to post it here.

Requirements:
Aloe vera - 1 medium size leaf
Palm sugar - 2-3 tbs
Clean cloth

Directions:
  • Peal the skin of leaf.  click on the link to know How to peal the skin of Aloe vera
  • cut the extract  into small pieces
  • wash  the pieces. (for 7 times. Don't know why. but my mother in law insisted it specifically. It is to be done for auspicious reason. For simple things like this, I don't go for serious research. I simply follow. so it is up to you to follow for 6 more times. If anyone knows the reason, please post it in your comments)
  • tie the pieces in cloth and hang it for half an hour
  • then shift the extracted aloe vera pieces in a bowl
  • Add palm sugar and mix both
  • leave it closed overnight
  • eat 1-2 tbs in empty stomach on next morning

Many has this aloe vera plant at home in India. Here in California, we get this at Indian and Mexican shops. If you are in US and not finding palm sugar in your grocery store, you can order online. when it is for medical purpose, Palm sugar is preferred to Jaggery or Sugar.

Few months after I got comfortable with my household works, I faced a new trouble in handling my routine. Suddenly I saw new cuts and rashes in my right hand, my palm was red and swollen. Soon, it became worse, cuts on every finger (front & back) with bleeding and pain on finger tips; nails became hard, totally my right hand was changed to look like an Hag's hand.  It might be caused by dish wash liquid, I was new to all kind of household works, so thought, I got allergic to it. So, changed dish wash liquid. But the same problem existed, then I started using gloves for dish washing and applied coconut oil for betterment. No changes.  My right hand looked totally different from left hand. Dish wash liquid was the cause but it impacted in my all other activities.

Like many others, Mahabharatham is my fav epic and I started reading and listening to different versions of Mahabharatham from my school days. All the time, my perspectives used to keep changing, and every time, I observe something new in it. Then I realized, it is the nature of art, the beauty of any art lies  in the eyes of viewers. The same way, the quality of a literature elevate with the readers and their understanding ability. When I was 13 years old, I was not a bibliophile(still same), but Mahabharatham made me to sit and finish it in 2 days. That was a pocket size mahabharatham with only 150 pages. But I could remember many characters and also seeded the ability of character analysis in me. As I said, when the years pass by, my views on Mahabharatam characters and incidents also keep changing.
