:By Anindita Ghosh | |||
Chewing paan might seem like an icky habit to you, but before you turn up your nose at the humble leaf, know that it has some amazing health and beauty benefits. Here are some ways in which betel leaves can make you look more gorgeous. | |||
:Curbs hairfall | |||
Ayurveda recommends using betel leaves for hairfall-related issues. Here is a recipe for a lotion that you can apply to your scalp. Grind betel leaves with sesame or coconut oil and apply the paste to all sections of the scalp. Leave it on for at least an hour before you shampoo it off. | |||
:Great for oral hygiene | |||
Suffering from bad breath? Start chewing on a betel leaf after meals. Paan refreshes your breath and kills germs. The leaf is also used from ancient times to prevent tooth decay and strengthen gums. Boil betel leaves in water and use the decoction to rinse out your mouth. | |||
:Acne buster | |||
The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties in betel leaves are great for treating the symptoms of acne. Wash your face with a decoction of betel water or apply a paste of betel leaves and turmeric to your face and wash off. Do this twice a day, especially after you come back home. | |||
:Itch reliever | |||
The soothing property of betel leaves gives much relief if you are prone to rashes and allergies. Boil 10 leaves and remove from fire just as the leaves turn limp. This water can then be mixed in your bath water or as a soak for itchy extremities. The anti-inflammatory properties of the wonder leaf will reduce itching and swelling. | |||
:Bans body odour | |||
The juice of betel leaves or betel leaf oil added to your bath water will keep you feeling fresh and will kill the odour-creating germs on your body. Consuming a drink made with a few betel leaves soaked in boiled water regularly, detoxifies the body and kills all kinds of unpleasant body odours. | |||
