Child Care

Patti vaidiyam that is good to use for children above the age of 5 years.  There are a few items that are available in the country drugs shop (Nattu marundu kadai). Have a stock of Sukku, Thippili, Sitharathai, Modikutchi, Vasambu and Adimaduram at home to help when the child has common ailments. 

When the child gets a head ache due to cold, make a paste of red wood, turmeric, sukku and pepper. Apply this paste on the forehead and nose. This will be little painful. But it will absorb all the water and cure both the cold and head ache.

For cold boil a pinch of  Sukku, Thippili, Sitharathai, Modikutchi and filter it, add a little honey  and give only the water , it will give relief for the cold. For stomach upsets, make a paste of Vasambu and apply around the navel. When the child has fever take Adimaduram, make it a powder boil it in water, filter and give only the water. This will bring down the temperature.
 
For loose motion, make a paste of Mango seed, mix it with honey and give it 3 times. This will help immediately. For boils which come in summer, make a paste of Neem leaves(Tender) and turmeric and apply all over the boils. It will pain for some time but within 3/4 times the boils will totally vanish as well as will prevent from spreading.
