“I’ve started consuming approximately seven-ten curry leaves daily with my morning immune tea. Curry leaves help in reducing hair fall, prevent grey hair and improve hair growth,” she said.
Here’s how to have them
You can either chew them and then drink some water or just boil the leaves in a cup of water for five-seven minutes, strain and drink while it is still lukewarm. Apart from hair health, it also helps in several other disorders.
Some ways in which you can use curry leaves are:
Nausea
Fry them (six fresh curry leaves, washed, dried and then fried with half teaspoon ghee), cooled and eat (chew them).
Bad breath
Fresh five curry leaves, chew for five minutes, then rinse mouth with water.
