Swapnil Joshi

Dear P.K. Shrama
It is low in Sodium content, so does no raise the Bp like common salt does, But yes, if you take it in excess, the it definitely will raise your Blood Pressure. The dosage should not exceed 500 mg or 1 gm per day. The benefits of this salt are numerous. So, it must be included in the daily diet.

Drink 5 ml of Cabbage juice daily thrice a day.
Eat Grapes a lot. Take Grapes meal after every 4-5 hours in a day. Make Tamarind soup, add a pinch of salt, take it thrice a weak. Take vitamin D3 daily. Ginger and black Salt are known to get rid of Alcoholism. Check this disease in the disease section. I personally took Capsicum tincture and orange peel tincture to cure it.
a concoction of cloves, cardamom, black salt and tamarind also helped me a lot. It gave me a puky feeling towards Alcohol.

Shilla amar pol. You commit your problem, alcoholics are your biggest problem in life. Have self gone true that problem and I just quit everything with alcohol for 4 years. Now after that I have manage to control myself, and believe or not, I can now take 1 drink-normally Smirnoff Vodka, and stay off anything else. For me it was just the lack of disepline, self control så to say...some have it, some not..Start with some kind of self hypnose, talk to self, give you self instruction, your are in control, not your body with demand for alcohole. I know it's a fight to quit, but I can only tell what I was doing with succes.
It take me 4 years to take over my own mind and instruct that part, I'm in charge and that was it...my woman in my life can't believe it, but it is done. We was very close to split up, but I save my family and myself with self control. Try it, you have all to win, nothing to lose..Good luck...

Thanks Jack for sharing your experience. mine also is somewhat the same as yours. I was a big time alcoholic. Sundays, Mondays, I mean every day man. It was so damn impossible for me to even go for work without taking a shot. i really was pissed off. Wanted to quit for ages, And i finally managed to, its been 3 months that i have not tasted alcohol. it is unbelievable for me and my friends.... initially i had very hard time, but now i guess, i am getting okay with it. It is all about self control and determination. They say, where there is a will, there is a way, and i totally agree...... :)v

Sea salt soaks can be used to clean the scars, but not black salt. You may use Aloe Vera Gel. Apply it on the skin. Leave it as it is. Clean it before you apply it again.
Lemon : Extract the juice from a fresh lemon and apply it on the affected skin area.
Leave it on for about half an hour, and then wash the area with lukewarm water.
Repeat the process twice in a day.

Hi,

I am obese person and trying to reduce weight.
I am drinking 1table spoon on honey, pinch of black salt in warm water . will it helpful or harmful ??????

 
Shourya
17 Oct 2016
Keith You should take lemon added to the honey. This is more effective. And if you have high bp, then this black must be avoided. The best herb is Fennel for you. or, eat one avocado everyday for a month. This is a great fruit that helps to reduce weight. Regular exercise is a must for you. Do not take carbs, fats or proteins. Avoid junk food. Obese person is likely to have other disease as well so must eat fruits and veggies to boost the immunity.

Do you stammer ? Or are you not able to pronounce properly ? Or do you loose thread of the conversation while talking ? Or is it something else ? Since when are you facing this problem ?
And what rice are you talking about ? Do you mean it is because you have been eating too much rice, your speaking has been affceted ?
Rice and dal are not known to affect the voice. Please explain the problem in detail and also share if you have taken any medicines for this problem ?
