Abstract

Hypertension (high blood pressure), thyroid malfunction, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and hypercholesterolemia are some of our regular life-style problems that cause serious metabolic disturbances. These problems are long lasting even after allopathic chemical-based treatment and, in turn, cause serious side effects and threats to our health issues. Fresh vegetables, fruits and certain kitchen spices, like coriander, mint, flax-seeds, black pepper and fenugreek-seeds have stood firmly as “saviours” under such abnormal and life-threatening situations, if used in proper dose and intervals.
