Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hi, Does anyone have any idea where one can find Kadukkai (in Tamil)/Harra (In Hindi)/ Haritaki (in Sanskrit )/ Ink-nut (Common Name) powder in US? Kadukkai is widely used in Indian herbal medicine. Thanks, Gai Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Sat Nam Gayathri: I am sorry I do not have any suggetions for where you might get any of the items you mention. However, could you tell us what they are useful for? So, perhaps after you find out where they can also be found (from someone else), we can all know a little more of their use?

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Thanks very much, Dharma, for the info. Lyn, I know only a few of the uses, but there are many. It is very good for cleansing, basically. My mother used to make a potion by adding a couple of spoons of this powder in water and boiling it for a while to reduce the contents by half. This was used in treating stomach pains and such. I drink a glass of water with a pinch of salt, a pinch of turmeric, and a pinch of kadukkai powder in the morning on an empty stomach. THe kadukkai powder is slightly bitter, but a couple of pinches in a glass of water is of very mild taste. A paste is made with Kadukkai powder and buttermilk/yogurt, and is used for treating mouth ulcers, boils and such ( this paste has a capacity to reduce excess heat ). THe paste is applied on the problem area, left to dry for a few minutes, and then washed. One can also apply the paste to the scalp and leave it on for a few minutes, and then wash the hair. It is very good for treating dandruff, and does not leave the scalp dry after washing. Gai Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Actually, the kadukkai+yogurt paste could be quite helpful in treating the blepharitis problem ( which someone had talked about a while ago). gai Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.
