For people who feel weak, have respiratory & stomach gas related problems: Mix roasted carom seeds powder in jaggery in equal quantity and take this in 1 spoon quantity twice a day with water for three consecutive months. It is helpful in blood purification. It also increases face glossiness. Diabetic persons should use rock salt instead of jaggery while taking this combination suggests Vaid Ramprasad Nishad from Bastar, Chhattisgarh@ 7879412247

Stomach gas (Flatulence): For treatment grind 100 gms Papaya skin & 100 gms raw Turmeric & after adding 10 gms Nausadar (Ammonium chloride) & 10 gms Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) make gram sized pills.
