Can I eat almond and dakh together daily.
 
Rajender
23 Mar 2016
Yes you can eat them together. Do not eat more than 10 dakh ( raisin ) and 5 Almonds in a day .
Do not eat them in summers as they are hot in potency. If you wish to eat in summers then dip raisins and almonds in a glass of water. Leave it overnight and then eat in the morning.

Raisins, specially the black ones are known to delay signs of aging, like blemishes, wrinkles and sagging of skin. The herb has antioxidants which prevent the skin from damage caused by sun and air pollution...
Regular consumption of this herb makes skin look beautiful and radiant. If you talk about allergies like eczema, vitiligo or rashes, or itching, then I don't think raisin is the right herb. For those allergies, the herbs are-- Neem, Tea tree essential oil, Turmeric, Eclipta, Bakuchi oil, etc. There are many, depending on the type of allergy that you wanna cure.

Why do you have to soak the raisins all the time? You said it is a hot fruit that should not be consumed in the summer, why is that so?
 
Lishki Sehgal ( India )
03 Jan 2017
The Raisins are hot in nature, thus, not recommended in summers. So, it is always recommended to soak it, so as to change it's potency from hot to cold. Because it is not recommended to be used as a cure in summers ( or in hot region ), therefore, it is recommended to soak it Natalie.

The combo leads to weight gain, not to weight loss. For constipation, drink Baking Soda, a pinch to a glass of water every day. And also, drink 2 tablespoons of Indian Gooseberry juice everyday for a month.

Eating raisins every day can increase your weight. They are densely packed A small serving of raisins provide a high amount of calories. In case you want ton increase weight in a month, Eat about one-fifth cup of dried raisins throughout the day for a month. This is one of the easiest ways to gain weight.
You may also try dry Figs. These also help to increase weight.

Sukrit Goel
26 Apr 2017
Yes, it is a good combination. But I would suggest that you do not take it during summers, because it is hot in nature and might not suit you. You may boil it in milk. an then have it. But why do you want to take it, if it is hot in nature.
Eat 250 gm of fresh watermelon, this will improve your libido and also you may take Horny Goatweed capsule, one daily, for a month.
Drink half glass of Pomegranate juice daily for a month.

Dry raisins are hot in potency, so you should avoid that. SOaked raisins will boost your immunity and increase your hemoglobin. To put on weight have banana and milk every morning. DO regular exercise, so that your appetite increases. Do not take any artificial supplements.
Increase protein intake in your daily diet.
