Foreword It gives us great pleasure in writing the foreword of this book on "Home Remedies For Common Ailments". Home remedies for ailments came to evolve over centuries due to the absence of modern medicine and paucity of doctors. Their effectiveness led them to be spread by word of mouth through generations. Made of routinely used and easily available materials, these remedies offer a cure for simple ailments and at times help to tide over critical periods. These remedies are best used before rushing to a doctor for minor ailments as they are easy to prepare and have virtually no side effects besides the occasional allergy which is in contrast with modern medicine that has its own side effects and has to be taken for a specific period. One remarkable aspect about home remedies is that they offer immediate relief with a minimal dose. This book eloquently reveals the inherent healing properties of common ingredients used in food in our day to day lives.

Arundhati Hoskeri has written a practical handbook for the entire family. When you look up the illness in question you will find all the relevant herbal recipes and treatments, together with instructions for their preparation and use. After reading this book you feel amazed by the tremendous amount of natural healing power our own kitchen and pantry holds. She has presented the recipes for glowing health in a very lucid and clear manner.

Many ailments have been covered in this book. Arundhati is a multi-linguist who fluently speaks in eight Indian languages other than English.

Preface The modern scientific age with its innovations and research in the field of medicine has no doubt increased human longevity, made our life comfortable and has made everything available at our fingertips. However, dependency on machines without using our mental and physical efforts have created health hazards. The lifestyle diseases like hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, heart attacks have already started targeting the young generation.

Everybody is chasing something or the other in life! Stress at work place, coupled with irregular eating habits, erratic ways of combating problems, smoking, alcohol and drugs are taking a heavy toll on health.

Having studied Natural Health Sciences, I realised popping allopathic pills for every minor health problem is unnecessary. In fact, our kitchen is an excellent store house of medicine. All the consumable food ingredients have a curative properties, which when rightly consumed, help in curing ailments without any harmful effect on the human body. This book provides some very effective remedies which are tested and have successfully given good results.

My request to the readers is to apply and follow these remedies judiciously, especially those who suffer from ailments like hypertension, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and heart ailment or any other such disease that has a dependency on prescribed medication.
