mkm and findingmyway, Thanks for all the advice. mkm, could you please explain Netra Basti? Do I use an eye cup with clarified butter and actually open my eyes so the butter gets inside my eyes. I do that with light tea but I'm not even sure if it's good though it feels good. What do you think, Findingmyway? Thank you kindly.

Butter inside the eyes-very very bad idea. It will completely mess up the tears and can cause some serious problems. Could also block tearglands causing severe dry eye issues. Light tea contains antioxidants and is a high water content solution so I imagine it would feel good but again will disrupt the tear film so not sure if its such a good idea for direct use. I'd more more inclined to drink it!! Hope that helps

Thanks findingmyway, I thought so. So what is Netra Basti? I will stop using tea too. Thanks again.

BUTTER IN THE EYES???

No offence intended but I found that really funny!!

Perhaps we could start a thread for all those long-standing remedies our Mothers told us...
like eats lots of ginger if you want to avoid "bhai" (which apparemtly manifests itself as watery knees or salivating mouths during sleep....)
or put oil in your navel if you have a sore nose..that's another

one I think!

Some funny ones i must admit sorry. i remember my mum making "sond" its made with Ginger with spices & herbs, we had it at least twice a year. It was always very hot & spicy, sometimes i used to think smoke would come out of my ears

. Polpol Ji Butter in the eyes is a first for me.

Now you're taking!
Yes, Sond! The great "Bhai" killer!
I've never been brave enough to eat a full bowl of the stuff!

Seeker Ji i had trouble finnishing a whole bowl too

. In the end as years went by i started to choor (break) my roti & put it in the bowl with the "sond"

. I think that is the only way i finnished it and started liking it otherwise it was quiet the opposite. I think its a natural pure form of Bacteria killer as you have mentioned. All those years ago i never liked it, now thinking about it i miss it & i miss my mum too.

I think I'll try beer like this lady:

By Syed Zarir Hussain, IANS,
Rongmowe (Assam): At 120, she is one of India's oldest women and Kareng Teronpi is still going strong, thanks to a daily diet of bland boiled rice, vegetables, and, of course, a regular bottle of moonshine to keep her spirits high!
She looks frail and emaciated, is weak in the knees and almost bedridden for the past year. But Kareng is very agile - with near perfect eyesight and a voice still chirpy.
"I don't know when I was born… maybe many years ago," Kareng said with a coy smile. Incidentally, her eldest daughter is around 90 years old and stays nearby.
A resident of village Rongmongwe Sorpokathar in Karbi Anglong district, about 280 km east of Assam's main city of Guwahati, Kareng, a tribal Karbi woman, is believed to have completed her 120th birthday.
"Based on details from our uncles and aunts and grandparents we have calculated her age, although we don't have any birth records as such," Docsingh Kathar, one of the many grandsons of Kareng, told IANS.
Kareng loves eating good food - rice, boiled vegetables, soup being her staple menu, besides a passion for rice beer.
"She requires at least two glasses of Hor (fermented rice beer). She relishes the drink. She is a vegetarian and never eats spicy food," Kathar said.
The mother of four children, Kareng has seen four generations and the entire family consists of more than 60 people. Two of her children - a son and a daughter - are alive, while two others expired.

"She can recognise us from a distance as he still has very good eyesight," a grandson said with a cheeky smile.
