Who would have thought that even the Kardashians use Desi remedies?
South Asian health and beauty remedies are known to be some of the most powerfully effective in the world. Don’t take them for granted!
Even the Kardashians acknowledge this power. Kourtney Kardashian recently admitted she drinks a teaspoon of Desi ghee in the morning to stay in shape, strengthen the immune system and keep her guts healthy.

She revealed that Kris Jenner had been cooking ghee for years in her kitchen. Who knew Desi ghee could be used for other benefits apart from pleasuring our taste buds with halwa puri!
Here are eight South Asian health and beauty remedies you need to try.

This is a well-known hair remedy that South Asian women use for their luscious thick hair. Apply a few drops of castor oil to the roots of your hair and eyebrows twice a week before sleeping. The results truly are miraculous!
2. Tomato Juice to Exfoliate the Skin

Blend some tomatoes and use their juice as a natural exfoliator once a week to achieve clear and glowing skin this spring!
3. Lemon Juice for Blemished Skin

Cut half of a lemon and gently apply directly to the skin. However, if you suffer from sensitivity, then add a drop of honey to the mix!
4. Drinking Raw Coconut Water for Internal Health

Our bodies are made of 80% water, and we significantly lose water every single day. In this process, we lose electrolytes. Drinking a glass of raw coconut water is the best way to replenish them.
5. Desi Facial Mask for Softer Skin

Mix one tablespoon of yoghurt, a pinch of honey and one egg white to form a paste. Apply directly to the skin and leave it on for twenty minutes. Wash and rinse with cold water.
6. Zeera as a Weight Loss Aid

In the age of industrialisation, most of our dairy is packed with hormones and antibiotics that can interfere with our natural body systems. Ditch dairy every few weeks to cleanse and detoxify the body.

Mix the two into a paste and use daily to get rid of stains. It works wonders!
