Nariyal tel - rukhi twacha aur phati ediyan
Coconut oil for dry skin and cracked heels
Nahane ke turant baad geeli skin par nariyal tel ki patli tah, aur raat ko ediyon par laga kar soote ke moze. Sadharan moisturiser jitna hi kaam karta hai.
Kya chahiye
- 1-2 chammach virgin nariyal tel
- gungune paani ka tub (pairon ke liye)
- soote ke moze
- saaf naram tauliya
Kaise banate hain
Nahane ke baad badan ko poora sukhaane ke bajaye halka geela rehne dein aur turant nariyal tel ki patli tah laga lein - geeli skin par tel paani ko andar rok leta hai. Ediyon ke liye: raat ko 10 minute gungune paani me pair bhigoyein (paani itna garam nahi ki chubhe), halke se pumice stone phirayein, thapthapa kar sukhaayein, tel lagayein aur soote ke moze pehen kar so jaayein. Rozana karein aur kam se kam do hafte de kar dekhein. Chehre par tabhi lagayein jab daane nikalne ki aadat na ho. Tel se pair aur farsh phisalte hain - moze pehen kar hi chalein, warna girne ka khatra hai.
After a bath, leave the skin slightly damp instead of drying it fully, and put a thin film of coconut oil on straight away - oil on damp skin traps the water underneath. For heels: soak the feet in warm water for 10 minutes at night (warm, never hot enough to sting), run a pumice stone over them gently, pat dry, apply the oil and pull on cotton socks before bed. Do it daily and give it at least two weeks. Only use it on the face if you are not prone to pimples. Oiled feet and floors are slippery - walk only with the socks on, or you risk a fall.
Parampara kya kehti hai
Sardi aate hi tel malna ghar ka purana niyam hai - dakshin bharat me nariyal, uttar me sarson. Kaha jaata hai ki nariyal tel skin ki namee bandh kar deta hai, ediyon ki daraarein bhar deta hai aur bachchon ki maalish ke liye sabse achha hai. Nani-dadi ise raat bhar laga rehne dene ki salaah deti hain.
Rubbing oil into the skin when winter arrives is an old household rule - coconut in the south, mustard in the north. The claim is that coconut oil seals moisture in, fills the cracks in heels and is the best thing for a baby's massage. Grandmothers say to leave it on overnight.
Shodh kya kehti hai
Sabut milta-julta hai
Moisturiser lagana khud me sahi salaah hai - MedlinePlus geeli skin par din me do se teen baar moisturiser lagane ko kehta hai. Khaas nariyal tel par do randomised trials hain, dono chhoti. 2004 ki ek double-blind trial me 34 logon ki rukhi skin (xerosis) par virgin nariyal tel mineral oil jitna hi asardar aur surakshit mila - yaani doosre tel se behtar nahi, barabar. 2014 ki ek doosri trial me 117 bachchon ke atopic dermatitis (eczema) par nariyal tel mineral oil se behtar nikla (SCORAD 68.23% giri, mineral oil me 38.13%). Dono me tulna sirf ek aam tel se hai, kisi asli dawa se nahi. Phati ediyon par khaas taur se koi trial humein nahi mili, aur navjaat bachchon ki maalish par bhi is nuskhe ke liye koi bharosemand sabooth nahi hai. Nateeja: kaam ka moisturiser, koi khaas jaadu nahi.
Moisturising itself is sound advice - MedlinePlus recommends moisturiser on damp skin two to three times a day. For coconut oil specifically there are two randomised trials, both small. A 2004 double-blind trial in 34 people with dry skin (xerosis) found virgin coconut oil as effective and as safe as mineral oil - equal to another oil, not better. A 2014 trial in 117 children with atopic dermatitis found it did better than mineral oil (SCORAD fell 68.23% against 38.13%). In both the comparison is only against a plain oil, not against a real medicine. We found no trial at all specifically on cracked heels, and none that supports this routine for newborn massage. So: a reasonable moisturiser, nothing special.
Kab nuskha chhodkar doctor ke paas
- daraar se khoon aana ya pus nikalna
- diabetes ho ya pair sunn rehte hon to koi bhi daraar, chhala ya ghaav
- pair me laali, soojan, garmi, durgandh ya kaala pad jaana
- khujli bina rash ke jo raat ko neend kharab kare
- do hafte rozana lagane par bhi daraar ya rukhapan waisa ka waisa ho ya badh raha ho
