A Pinch of Haldi, Methi and Saunth Powder with Warm Water
A mix of equal parts turmeric, fenugreek and dry ginger powder, half a teaspoon with lukewarm water after a meal. A food-based winter habit; ask a doctor if you take blood thinners or diabetes medicines.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.
A trending winter kitchen mix
A blend of turmeric, fenugreek (methi) and dry ginger (saunth) powders is being widely shared as a winter joint-comfort mix. All three are kitchen spices, but the mix is a traditional food habit and not a proven treatment for joint pain.
Mix equal parts of each powder, store in a dry jar and take half a teaspoon with lukewarm water after a meal. Do not exceed this. Persistent joint pain needs a doctor.
