The Siththars and Welfare of women

Author: தோழி / Labels: , ,

In the past few posts I have shared the information related to the problems faced by the women and solutions to them told by the Siththars. I am so happy about it. This is possilble only because of the grace of guru. As the final part of this series I wish to conclude by sharing about some of the general health tips for women.

For body to attain beauty 

Take 168 ml of milk, add saffron and boil it and at moderate temperature add a tea spoon full of honey and keep drinking it for 48 days then the body shines says Pulipaani Siththar.

To produce mother's milk

Grind some teak, liquorice, long pepper and applying it on the breast will produce milk says Agathiyar.

To reduce the weight 

Bogar in his book "Vaithiyam 700" says that take 4 ounces of water and add one ounce of honey, on consuming this we can loose weight.

Black patches on the skin

In the morning and evening, clean the places where the black patches is present with warm water.  coleus aromaticus leaf and ocimum basilicum leaf, both these leaf are to be crushed and applied on the affected areas will cure it, says Theraiyar.

For the whitlow 

Apply quicklime in the sprout of betel leaf and grind till it beomes like a paste and apply on the finger which got whitlow says Korakkar.

Cracks

Theraiyar has told that the sesbania grandiflora leaves are to be cooked and consumed for 
twice a week, this will equalise the levels of bile in body and thereby the cracks can be healed.

The roots of sivan vembu are to be grinded by adding milk and consumed will cure the cracks. Along with this the body also shines.

The neem sprout, turmeric along with castor oil are to be applied on the cracks, this will cure them.

To break the tumour

Grind the sappaathippoo in the cylindrical stone roller, then then tumour will break. It is enough if we apply once says Pulipaani Siththar.

Remove the unwanted hair in the body

Take a measure of yellow orpiment and add half measure of quicklime and  apply it on the unwanted hair and let it for 15 - 20 minutes, then wash it off. The hair will fall off by itself says Theraiyar.

Athlete's foot

Gall nut and turmeric are to be grinded together and apply it on the wounds, it will be cured says Pulipaani.

Scabies

The well grown portia tree's bark has to be finely powdered and dissolve in cocunut oil and let it dry in the sunlight. Apply this on scabies and get healed completely says Agathiyar.

In another situation I shall share some other information about the welfare of women.

In the next post I shall catch up with another information.
