Turmeric (Haldi)
Haldi or turmeric is a plant that is ground into a deep orange-yellow powder,
commonly used as a spice in curries and other South Asian & Middle Eastern
cuisine, for dyeing, and to impart colour to mustard condiments. Its active
ingredient is curcumin and it has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot
peppery flavour and a mustardy smell.
Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is one of
the key ingredients in many Asian dishes. Indian traditional medicine, called
Ayurveda, has recommended turmeric in food for its potential medicinal value,
which is a topic of active research. Turmeric makes a poor fabric dye, as it
is not very light fast. It is used in Pujas to make a form of Lord Ganesha.
Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is invoked at the beginning of almost any
ceremony and a form of Ganesha for this purpose is made by mixing turmeric
with water and forming it into a cone-like shape. Haldi doodh (turmeric milk)
is warm milk mixed with some turmeric powder. It is commonly used in India
as a home remedy when someone is suffering from fever. Turmeric paste is
often used in India as an antiseptic in open wounds, while chun-holud (turmeric
with slaked lime) is used as a home remedy to stop bleeding. It is also used
as a de-tanning agent in India.

Red Chilli (Mirchi)
The chilli pepper (also chile pepper) is the fruit of plants from the genus
Capsicum, members of the nightshade family. India is the world's largest
producer, consumer and exporter of chilli pepper.
Chilli pepper pods, which are berries, are used fresh or dried. Chillies are dried
to preserve them for long periods of time. They may also be dried by pickling.
Dried chillies are often ground into powders, although many Mexican dishes
use the entire chilli. Dried whole chillies may be reconstituted before grinding
to a paste. The chipotle is the smoked, dried, ripe jalapeño. Capsaicin is a safe
and effective topical analgesic agent in the management of arthritis pain,
herpes zoster-related pain, diabetic neuropathy, post mastectomy pain, and
headaches.

Coriander (Dhaniya)
Coriander, also known as cilantro, Chinese parsley or dhania, is an annual
herb, which is a favourite constituent in cuisines the world over.
Coriander, like many spices, contains antioxidants, which can delay or prevent
the spoilage of food seasoned with this spice. A study found both the leaves
and seeds to contain antioxidants, but the leaves were found to have a stronger
effect. Chemicals derived from coriander leaves were found to have antibacterial
activity against Salmonella Choleraesuis, and this activity was found to be
caused in part by these chemicals acting as non-ionic surfactants. Coriander
has been used as a folk medicine for the relief of anxiety and insomnia.
Coriander seeds are used in traditional Indian medicine as a diuretic by boiling
equal amounts of coriander seeds and cumin seeds; then cooling and
consuming the resulting liquid. In holistic and traditional medicine, it is used
as a carminative and as a digestive aid. Coriander has been documented as
a traditional treatment for Type 2 diabetes. A study on mice found coriander
extract had both insulin-releasing and insulin-like activity. Coriander seeds
were found in a study on rats to have a significant hypolipidaemic effect,
resulting in lowering of levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, and
increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein. This effect appeared to be caused
by increasing synthesis of bile by the liver and increasing the breakdown of
cholesterol into other compounds.

Psyllium Husk (Isabgol)
Isabgol, also known as Psyllium Husk, is a natural vegetable product which
is retrieved from Isabgol seeds by milling process. It is the upper coating of
Plantago Ovata, which is purified by sieving and winnowing and mostly comes
from India. It is truly a wonderful product with myriad of benefits and no
known side effects.
Isabgol absorbs water and expands to provide an increase in bulk and moisture
content of stool. This encourages normal peristalsis and bowel mobility.
Isabgol is a soluble fibre, which is different from the insoluble fibres that are
found in wheat bran and cellulose. Insoluble fibres can provide a laxative
effect, but may have no effect on cholesterol. Isabgol on the other hand works
by forming a thin layer on the intestines and then preventing the absorption
of the cholesterol into the arteries, and excreting it in stool and hence producing
moderate but significant improvement in blood levels and of cholesterol.
Isabgol cleans the gastro intestinal tract of toxins by forming a bulk that
promotes evacuation of the bowels. This also removes indigestion, intestinal
obstruction and flatulence, thus removing lethargy and providing a feeling of
well being. Isabgol is also used in piles, fissures and fistulas to bring down
the burning sensation after defecation. It also helps to prevent strain during
defecation in those who are suffering from cardiovascular diseases, hernia
and pregnancy.
