Homegrown armor for children’s health in cold! Massage oil of Baghelkhandi grandmothers, new age parents also trust it

Winter Child Care Tips: As the cold has strengthened its grip in the Baghelkhand region, the concerns of families regarding the care of small children have also increased. Melting winds, fog and falling temperatures have a direct impact on the delicate skin and health of children. In such a time, natural massage oils made at home are once again in the news. These home remedies, which have been prevalent since the time of grandmothers, are still giving a tough competition to modern chemical based baby oil and are winning the trust of parents.

Demand for domestic oils increases as cold increases
With the onset of winter, the demand for natural oils like mustard, sesame and coconut oil has increased rapidly in the local markets. Especially the oil prepared by adding garlic, celery and asafoetida in mustard oil or the mixture made by mixing camphor and turmeric in coconut oil is becoming the first choice of the people. Regarding these household oils, people believe that they not only protect children from cold, but also make their skin soft and body strong from inside.

Returning trust in grandmother’s remedies
Talking to Local 18, Meena Dwivedi, a local resident of Satna, says that in today’s time, parents want to avoid baby oil containing chemicals. He says that in earlier times, grandmothers used to prepare oil at home and massage children. There was so much power in that massage that not only the skin of the children remained soft but the bones also became strong. Today, when the effects of cold and fog are becoming more visible, people are again returning to the same old remedies.

How to make Baghelkhandi powerful massage oil
Mustard oil is taken, some celery, a pinch of asafoetida and a few garlic cloves are added to it and heated lightly. After this the oil is filtered. This oil is considered very useful for massaging children. This protects from cold and maintains warmth in the body. Whereas, the second recipe is prepared by mixing a little camphor and turmeric in coconut oil, which is said to be helpful in maintaining moisture and bringing glow to the skin. In such times, the impact of the popularity of these home remedies is also visible in the markets. Sales of spices like crude oils, celery, garlic and camphor increase. Women say that people are now considering it safer to make oil themselves instead of readymade oil.

The biggest feature of these naturally made oils is that they do not contain any kind of chemical. This is the reason why parents consider them safer for the sensitive skin of children. In this cold season, these old remedies of Baghelkhandi grandmothers are once again becoming a strong support for the health of children.
