Eczema

1. Rub a nutmeg (jaiphal) against a smooth stone slab with a little water and make a paste. Apply on affected parts. (Note: It is believed by some rural, old fashioned practitioners that instead of water, one's own early morning saliva can be used for better results.)
2. Add 1 teaspoon camphor (kapoor) to 1 teaspoon sandalwood paste and apply on the affected areas.
3. Mix a paste of turmeric (haldi) and neem leaves (1:1) in a little gingelly oil (til ka tel) and apply on affected areas.
4. Grind 1 tablespoon each turmeric (haldi), neem leaves and gingelly oil (til ka tel) into affected areas.
