Turmeric or haldi

Haldi is used extensively in Indian cooking but can also be used in different ways – as face and body packs etc.

Apply turmeric powder mixed with coconut oil on cracked heels before taking a shower for healing cracks.

Also, can be used on burns for quick relief due to its antiseptic properties.

Mix some aloevera gel in it for better relief.

Use this with besan / Gram flour, milk, and lemon juice as face pack for glowing and healthy skin. If you have oily skin, mix it with curd.
