rd MARCH 09: rd MARCH 09: SAYUR MANIS (Tausi Murunga Keerai)

Sayur Manis got its Tamil name "tausi murunga keerai" as this vegetable was eaten by sages and seers of yester years who were practicing austerity in deep forests. This vegetable has the properties to ward off hunger and feeling full for a long time. However this vegetable is a gassy food and should not be eaten regularly. You can eat it once a week or once every fortnight. When cooking, add grated coconut as it helps avoid excessive gas production in the body.

To reduce feet swelling, leg swelling or heaviness in legs:
a) Pound the leaves and extract the juice.
b) Pour the juice in a wide container, large enough to place your foot. The juice should cover the ankle.
c) Soak your foot for at least 20 minutes. After a while, you will notice dirt coming out from the cuticles.

Remove your foot and throw the dirty water away. You can also apply the juice on your hands or other body parts if there are any swellings or pain. The juice extract can also be applied on your forehead if you have sinus headaches. Make sure there is no water in the extracted juice. You can even treat the extracted juice as a medicine. Drink one tablespoon of the juice continuously for 3 or 5 days. This will heal throat irritation which causes cough and cures boils or eczema. The leaves are very effective in purifying blood.
