A Forgotten Traditional Remedy That Still Works Wonders
🔥 Feeling drained by the summer heat?
As temperatures soar past 45°C and even touch 50°C in parts of India, our bodies start to surrender. But what if the secret to staying cool all day — without AC or cold drinks — was already known to our ancestors?
In regions like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand, people have long practiced a traditional summer ritual that not only cools the body but also heals the gut.
Sadly, many of us have forgotten this simple yet powerful routine.
🥣 The Remedy: Stale Rice + Curd
Yes, you read that right. A combination of leftover rice and curd — known in many regions as basi bhat — is the ultimate summer hack.
🌙 Here’s how to do it:
-
At night, save your leftover rice from dinner.
-
Add 2–4 spoonfuls of curd and mix well.
-
Store the mixture in a clay or ceramic pot (avoid metal).
-
Let it rest overnight at room temperature.
🌞 In the morning:
-
Do not heat it!
-
Add a pinch of salt, a bit of cumin, or your favorite summer spices.
-
Mix, eat, and enjoy!
💪 Why It Works:
✅ Cools the body naturally, even at 50°C
✅ Promotes gut health by cultivating good bacteria overnight
✅ Helps in digestion and reduces body heat
✅ A 100% natural and zero-cost remedy
This practice transforms a simple leftover into a probiotic-rich, energy-sustaining superfood — ideal for hot, humid days.
🧠 Ancient Wisdom, Modern Relevance
We often chase modern solutions, overlooking the treasures of our traditional practices. Stale rice with curd might sound humble, but it’s science-backed, gut-friendly, and climate-adaptive.
Next time the sun scorches, ditch the sugary sodas and give this Ayurvedic gem a try.
✨ Final Thoughts:
In a world full of ACs and cooling gadgets, sometimes the simplest solution lies in our kitchen.
Rediscover the wisdom of the past — eat right, stay cool, and feel revitalized this summer!
