Remember how in our childhood, the biggest concern our grandmothers had was that we are fit and healthy. Be it preparing all kinds of delicious recipes for us or reading out our favorite bedtime stories, our nanis and dadis had always held a close place in our hearts.
Most of you might have seen your grandmothers recommending your mothers to just rub some almond oil under the eyes to get rid of dark circles. As kids you might have wondered that how come a few drops of oil could make those dark spots vanish. You only realized its magic when you stepped into adulthood and used the same remedy on ourselves. Just apply 2-3 drops of almond oil under the eyes and leave it overnight. You can bid bye-bye to those deep dark circles in just 3-4 days.
Catching cold was probably the worst feeling as a kid. You cannot go out to play, cannot eat your favorite food and had to sit in your room the whole day with a handkerchief in hand. Thank God for grandmothers. Their recipe to cure a cold had a glass of warm water with cumin seeds, crushed jaggery and a pinch of black pepper. Drinking this twice or thrice a day used to cure the cold like magic.
