Kashayam for cold (Tamil medicine)

It was one of those days I had the sore throat, with constant drinking of hot water, steaming it got cured. In another few days I started having sore throat running nose and this time it didn't subside. Being a nursing mother I didn't want to take Alopathy, so one of my friends gave this kashayam recipe.

Ingredients

Handful of Tulsi leaves
curry leaves - few
Ginger - 1 inch
Garlic - few pods
Jeera or cumin - 1 tsp
Pepper - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - pinch
salt - as required.

Directions:

Grind all these and boil it in a big pan of water for minimum of an hour. The entire contents will reduce to 1/4th of its original. Strain it and have 100ml of this kashayam. Running nose and sore throat will be gone. If it doesn't get cured, drink for 2 more times. Once prepared kashayam can't be used for more than 2 days.
