strengthen the brain. Almonds preserve the vitality of the brain and cure ailments
originating from nervous disorders. Ten to twelve almonds should be immersed
in water overnight and their outer skin removed. They should then be made into a
fine paste and taken, mixed with one teaspoonful of butter or even alone.
Inhaling ten to fifteen drops of almond oil through the nose, morning and evening,
is also beneficial in the treatment of brain weakness.
Amnesia treatment using Walnuts
Walnut is another unique dry fruit valuable in countering brain weakness. About
twenty grams of walnuts should be taken every day. The value of walnuts is
enhanced if they are taken with figs or raisins in a proportion of ten gram each,
everyday.
Amnesia treatment using Apples
Apples are useful in amnesia. The various chemical substances contained in this
fruit such as vitamin B1, phosphorus, and potassium help in the synthesis of
glutamic acid. This acid controls the wear and tear of nerve cells. Eating an apple
a day with one tea-spoon of honey and one cup of milk is beneficial in the
treatment of loss of memory and mental irritability. It acts as an effective nerve
tonic and recharges the nerves with new energy and life.
Amnesia treatment using Other Fruits
All fruits which are rich in phosphorus are valuable mitigators of amnesia, as they
invigorate the brain cells and tissues. Apart from apples, almonds, and walnuts,
which have been discussed earlier, other phosphorus-rich fruits are figs, grapes,
oranges, and dates. Their intake is highly beneficial in loss of memory due to
brain debility.
Amnesia treatment using Cumin Seeds
The use of cumin seeds is another valuable remedy for amnesia or dullness of
memory. Three grams of black cumin seeds should be mixed with two
teaspoonfuls of pure honey and taken once a day, preferably, in the morning.
Amnesia treatment using Black Pepper
Five seeds of finely ground black pepper, mixed with one teaspoon of honey are
also beneficial in the treatment of this condition. This preparation should be taken
both in the morning and evening.
Anaemia:
Anaemia treatment using Beets
Beets are very helpful in curing anaemia. Beet juice contains potassium,
phosphorus, calcium, sulphur, iodine, iron, copper, carbohydrates, protein, fat,
vitamins B1 B2, B6, niacin, and vitamin P. With their high iron content, beets help
in the formation of red blood cells. The juice of red beet strengthens the body's
powers of resistance and has proved to be an excellent remedy for anaemia,
especially for children and teenagers, where other blood-forming remedies have
failed.
Anaemia treatment using Fenugreek
The leaves of fenugreek help in blood formation. The cooked leaves should be
taken by adolescent girls to prevent anaemia, which may occur due to the onset
of puberty and menstruation. The seeds of fenugreek are also a valuable cure for
anaemia, being rich in iron.
