This remedy has been passed down through the generations. Since my entire ethnicity is Indian, it is highly probably that this is an Aryuvedic remedy. It is used to clean the blood system; hence used for clearing acne, rashes, eczema, and digestive tract. not the most tasty remedy though!

musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, Alzheimer's disease. colon cancer,
and many autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, inflammarot bowel
disease, lupus, etc.).The Standard American Diet (appropriately
abbreviated to SAD), which has spread to UK and other countries, is
composed of foods that promote inflammatino in the body. These foods
include processed sugars and flours, trans fatty acids (partially

these foods will help reduce inflamation.Some foods will actively
