hello Napolims,
Thanx for sharing the tips making curry leaves oil.

Hello Kz,
Can u pls find out from ur mom what other ingredients she used to add to the oil. Would like to give it a try

Kz, if you soak and grind the seed, then it will be like urud dal(sotness). so, it will grind easily(hope you soak them in milk or b.milk) and there wont be any particles.

Hi,

This is Regarding the hair loss problem... I use small (pearl)onions(chinna vengayam),methi seeds-2 ,curry leaves...since i have short hair i use abt 5-8 onions.Soak the methi seeds for abt 3-4 hrs...Grind the onions,methi seeds and curry leaves together and apply it ...I keep it for abt 20 mins...don't leave it in your hair more than half an hour...b'coz of the small onions, you may catch cold or fever.

Hi Anandi,
I will try it again, but regarding gaining back the thickness i am not sure, i used to have long hair while in india, now i cut it short and my mom says it is little thicker than before. so i guess trimming it often to avoid split ends, then regular maintenance will atleast reduce the hair fall. good nutrition is also important. try applying egg once in a while. do not wash ur hair in very hot water and rinse it finally in cold water. this advice was given here in US by a hair stylist. as hot water leads to more hair loss, and cold water helps the pores in the scalp to close. try hot oil massage once ina while using the oil told by napolims. i do hot oil massage once in a month.

Tomato,
I will ask my mom abt all the herbs she used in oil, but i doubt if we will get it all here in US. i will be able to contact her only after a week.

Hi Kz,

Thank you for taking the trouble. I'm currently residing in Singapore, and there are some very good indian shops here in Little India. I might have a good chance to get hold of a few herbs from these shops. So pls post the entire recipe.

Almond Body Exfoliator

2 tsp almond paste (moisturiser)
2 tsp coarsly ground almond (for scrubbing)
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice (astringent)
blend together all above ingredients

Finally add 2 tsp of coarse sugar and be ready to apply immediately. The sugar must not be added before, else it will dissolve and will not serve the purpose of a scrub. So mix it in just before u apply the scrub.

Rub it on wet skin...and take a shower!!! Helps heal thick patches of skin on heals, elbows and knees.
