Kashayam after Oil Bath

"Kashayam"  in ancient terms is known as medicinal drink. There are more than 50+ kashayam varieties, which are used for range of diseases.  In this post I shall particularly speak about a very simple Kashayam that should be consumed soon after you have Oil Bath, particularly in an empty stomach.

Ingredients:
Ginger                         :  20 gm approx (fresh)
Garlic                          :  5 flakes (fresh)
Jeera                           :  1/2 tsp
Pepper                        :  1/4 tsp
Thipilli (Long pepper)  :  1/2 piece
Tulsi                            :   3 leaves
Anju Uppu                   :  as required

Method:
Dry grind Ginger, Garlic. Jeera, Pepper, Tulsi, and Thippili into powder.  In a bowl heat 100 ml of water and add the contents to it. Leave it to boil until the contents reduces to half (approx). Filter the contents and add 'Anju uppu' to it. Have it hot, sip by sip, by mixing every sip in your saliva.

It is ideal to have Kashayam to have without sugar.
I presume that everybody is known of the medicinal value of the contents. Yet I shall give a brief description of the same in my next post.
