Every time you get sick who do you to go to? Your mother! It is like mothers have a home remedy for every sickness that you can ever suffer from, and in the process, make your feel better.
The world gets ready to observe Mother's Day 2025 on May 11. While there are many different things to celebrate about your mother, nothing comes close to her home remedies when you are sick because they cure you almost instantly.
While these may differ in every home, some of these are really common in Indian households:
“Drink this kadha, you will be fine”
Got a bad stomach? Drink this kadha and you will be fine, your mother says. While kadhas may vary in every region, and you may not even know the ingredients, it still does the trick even though it’s not even tasty because it is quite bitter almost always. Inspired by ayurveda and usually made with medicinal herbs, it does magic almost instantly and puts your body to rest in ways that don’t seem possible, except when your mother makes it for you to drink.
“Come, let me give you a champi to cure your headache”
A classic ‘champi’ is the solution to the world’s smallest as well as biggest headaches. The Indian word for a head and scalp massage, it has proved to be the best solution to all worldly problems and can be done best only by your mother or matriarchs. One that even the barbers cannot touch.
Bad day at school or at work? Time for a champi of hot oil that is rubbed into the scalp and massaged till it calms you down and takes away all the world’s worries.
“Put some balm, you will be okay”
Beyond champi, tell them you have a body ache or headache, and she will immediately tell you to put balm. Does it work? Always! The tiger balm that is popularly used in India, has multipurpose uses. According to your mother, it can be used for anything and everything, and even be plastered on your forehead, but again, always does the trick any time of the day
"Eat curd and rice, your stomach will get back to normal"
If you have a stomach upset, the first thing that your mother tells you is to eat curd with rice. As if on command, your stomach gets alright within a day. While every mother has their own versions of comfort food, this is another way of them taking care of you at all times
"Drink this masala chai to make your throat feel better"
While there are many different kinds of personalised treatments, making masala chai (tea) when you have a sore throat and cold is another popular cure your mother uses to rid you of troubles. Being an Indian favourite, tea combined with your mother’s care, totally does the trick
