Who would you believe, a certified practicing medical doctor, or Auntie Z??? Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Spotify: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...
Zoya gets A in most of the episodes she speaks sense and balances out. She never favours anyone and always is humble and weighs both pros and cons of issues. Brij is authentic but mostly favours father. Veer is a cute boy who doesn’t even want to participate in big people talks yet he feels responsible as a family member and respects his Bhaiya and Didi ❤ Content relevance- yes ginger, lemon, fresh air, exercise and sleep help improve immune system to fight the disease. I agree most allopathy meds are symptom-based they help reduce the symptoms but don’t cure the disease mostly.
I look after my mother who is 102 this month all by myself. I only give her Ayurvedic things whenever necessary, no meds she is a wonderful health. For her age incredible not even incontinent. Of course she eats like a bird. We are also immigrants, so we have the benefit of information from the sages of Asia❤
"This podcast is not about my mother." then continues to make it all about his mom right until the end. I love seeing Zoya shouting out Zarna for the things she does. Zarna definitely gets an A for giving the most number of remedies.
10000% A* for YOU, Zarna. Your expressions at the beginning when no one understood the 'Home Remedies' memo, and they were naming random things haha. 😂🥰
I use these from my childhood of the 50's; Cure-all (Chicken soup), Sore Throat (Lemon & Honey), Upset stomach (ginger ale and/or stewed tomatoes), Congestion (Vicks)
All this talking over each other is VERY DISCORDANT. It will make me want to vomit if I watch the whole thing - which I am NOT going to do now, I am turning it off midway and going to see something more calming than a dysfunctional family run by a totally overbearing mother. Ugh!
@@cgordon1955 Seems you aren't from this side of the pond, Asia in general. Most countries outside Asia and Saudi/Islam following countries (essentially, white countries/people, so to speak) think this is way too much but it is how our families run. Asian families, African families, they all run on this overbearing individual in the family that fixes, as well as ruins things on the daily. It's just how it is. We live real so we are ready for the real world (as much as we hate it, it is true).
My mother had her own old world remedies that could’ve been dangerous. She gave us each a tsp of castoria every spring and every fall. Vicks rubs for colds and camomile teas with lots of sugar for fevers. She raised 9 of us and we’re all still alive. Rarely, did she use baby aspirin as my father did not believe in those kinds of things for kids.
Good for Auntie Zarna such a good mom, checking on the children, that is what keeps everyone out of trouble and yes certain plants are even kept on the space station to clean and oxygenize the air. You are all as great as you are, it’s a credit to your parents❤❤
Thank you for all of your videos they are extremely helpful to connect with teenage children I think this is a tough time for patenting and your videos give right direction thanks again
love Zoya's home remedy of fluffy socks and watching The Mindy Project! I'm a doctor and I love helping people get well and stay well. There is corruption in everything but most doctors really care for their patients!
You are literally asking for parenting advice from two ignorant morons??? BTW; being obsessed with minor strangers, is so incredibly inappropriate. How can you be obsessed with people you don’t know?? Parasocial much??
❤ I love vicks vapor rub for everything! I used some on my wrists just before watching this because I am pregnant and have pregnancy carpal tunnel and cant use medical creams due to the pregnancy. For colds I use it as wall as warm water with honey, lemon and ginger. I also think spicy soups help clear the passages and chili 🌶️ has a lot of vitamin c. If I feel well enough to make my own spicy soup, I will but if I am too sick I order pho 🍜 and add a lot of the jalapeño it comes with. All of you deserve an A grade. 😊
Shalabh so well put the humour into these conversations. Bringing her mom to annoy Zarina and ofcourse the one liners. Brij “Remove the T-shirt show them your aps”
One thing that I do to get me ready for the cold weather is to pump my system ceith lots of vitamin C. Another is I cook lots of chicken soup through ou the season. Yes fresh plants are vital to maintain healthy oxygen levels through out the house especially closed up homes.. great episode love the kids interactions
Add 5 to 6 peppercorns, 2-3 cloves, 5-6 basil leaves, 1/4 tsp turmeric, sweet wood / licorice piece 1cm, to 2 cups of water and boil till one cup remains. Sieve it in a cup and add a few drops of lemon juice. For sweetness you may add a tsp of honey. Drink this warm drink two times a day. You can have it without sweetness also.
I love the new format of your show on split screens instead of in your living room. love the interaction between all of you. Shurub smiling more now, good job defending your mom. Can you do an episode with her in it all the way from India.
All the way here in Scotland, mum and gran swear by: chesty cold = vicks & hot toddy [whisky,lemon,water,honey] tickly cough = sugar and vinegar Upset stomach = flat lemonade or irn bru Constipated = "eat" butter Hiccups = vinegar Overall diet = meat + 2veg Sleep = 2 hours before midnight more good than all the hours afterwards [ive not managed this] Mushrooms = nerve and brain health I agree with all your comments no to drugs,yes to fluffy socks and snuggled up under the duvet and jars of vicks everywhere. Love you all ❤
Another thing I do is I peel ginger, slice it very very thin and put it in a jar of very light honey like acacia honey that’s grown in Europe like Hungary, As all the honey grown in America has glycosides unfortunately. I use this honey with the Ginger that really liquefies the honey, And it’s wonderful drizzled on fresh berries or any fruit, it’s also very good in tea and coffee do you wind up using it for many things it’s very helpful and also very delicious
Lime or Lemon with honey or sugar for a cold and sore throat. Also Vicks vapour rub for everything. Be it sore throat, coughing , muscle pain or joint pain , it is great.
Love the convos. I'm a first gen in UK but older than your kids. When I was their age, my views were similar to theirs. As I've gotten older n wiser, I'm definitely more pro indian home remedies. I find US rely on meds way too much and think its the culture there. My bro lives in the US and we had a similar issue. He was told to start on med, I was advised to go down diet/exercise route.
I’d love to hear what home remedies Shalabh’s mom uses! I bet it is better than anything you can buy over the counter. My grandmother used to keep a jar of herbs in a liquid called Florida Water. Whenever we had a fever she would wipe us down with that mixture, it was so refreshing and always broke the fever. My husband I make ginger/tumeric/lemon juice/ honey shots.
A for Zarna for being Zarna and Bringing Zarna 100%. Can I also give an A for Shalabh's mom lol for giving so much content? Love these Episodes. You guys are so much fun :D
Vicks vapor rub is used for generations in the US. Many things like ginger tea, honey, lemon and whiskey are things used for sore throats and colds in US for generations as well.
Loved the episode and I always sign up ahead of time to get notified, as an Indian mom of 2 adult daughters, this is the usual scene at my place, the only difference is that I feel they take it personal and not so light as zoya does, my girls will always say that it’s about you mum and they start to feel bad, I feel it’s cultural when mums bring their version in a situation and how they handled; doesn’t mean that we believe we are better than our kids, it’s just our perspective from our personal experience. Anyways I give shalabh and Zoya A on this episode for #1 shalabh being funny about the expensive jacket and Zoya as usual always makes that face when someone is being silly. Love zoya
My dear Zarna, I enjoy your podcast. You and your family are so entertaining, great content as always. My home remedy is lemon and manuka honey tea when I have a cold.
Lucozade (sugar water) butter balls dipped in sugar, Vick's, teaspoon of whiskey and bread in hot milk and sugar. All remedies in 50s/60s UK when I grew up.
Zarna!! Love everything about your show. I will not grade anyone in particular, cause you all together make such a good team, so grade A to team Garg! Each one of you brings a different and interesting vibe to every episode. Being an immigrant Indian mom and a fitness buff myself, hope I get to walk with you one day!
Vicks works!! My grandmother gave it to me. I hated it but it worked. I have it to my daughter when she was small. Same thing. Hates it but it works. Love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 you guys!!!
Mama Zarna, someday soon you will be a mother in-law to your kid’s wife or son! So don’t look down too much towards your mom in -law 🥰 So treat her with love and respect 😊❤
Zarna gets the A to me b/c her suggested remedies do work…the boiled water with ginger lemon and Tumeric work wonders. Vick’s was a big remedy used by my southern black family and they panic if you don’t completely wash it off b4 going outside - something about open pores and getting worse. But Zoya - 100% on the sleep being a big factor. Me personally, can’t exercise once I’m already sick but I do it regularly to strengthen my immune system and prevent sickness.
My parents are not Immigrants but my grandparents are & my mom looooved home remedies! She was always using Vicks on us! For a cold it was a spoonful of honey an onion for an ear ache ect. 😂
There's a sugary soup/custard like thing that is made with sooji, so like a really thin consistency halwa that is also used to relieve throatache, my grandma calls it Seera, maybe that's what Shalabh's talking about
No no she’s right laughter cures a lot of things there was a very famous famous Director that was diagnosed with a terrible illness and he just took all kinds of fantastic comedy and closed himself in for a few months just laughing himself into complete health!! It heals every cell in our body when we laugh
I am giving all of you "A's"! Zi love your honesty, your humor, and I think that you chose an excellent topic! I happen to agree about Oranges, lemons and Vitamin "C." I also agree about Vick's Vapor Rub, walking, sweating it out and green plants. However, I think that Tylenol is not as effective as Anvil ( or something related to Anvil.) I also think that Zarna's ginger, tumeric, part honey tea is excellent. Thanks for dissing the pharmaceutical companies, which oversell.
My A is to Zarna. I love plants, warm kichdi, citrius fruit, hot water bag. I alsolove the shot you can make with Haldi, Adrak, and lemon. Drink it like a shot. Sometimes, watery dal with lots of pepper, adarak, haldi, laung, lasun, Pyaz, tamatar. (like a lentil soup). 🙂
I agree with shalabh that he says his mom used to give sugary warm milk. I used to drink too, it is so good for cold and throat infection. The sugary thing is called palm sugar candy that's make it sweet and we add a pinch or two of black pepper as well.
Hot tea with lemon and honey, Vicks, my grandpa soaked sliced potatoes in Vinegar and placed them on temples, wrists inside wear arm beads to draw out fever. Gargle with warm water with salt for soar throats, blow smoke in ear for ear aches, blue mouth wash for tooth ache. Cold cloth on forehead for fever run wrists under cold water.
Cold drinks for sore throat?! Lol! This is entirely the opposite of what I’ve done and what has worked lol! I’ve drank hot teas or hot water with honey and lemon and it is super soothing for a sore throat. And/or ginger chai!
OK if you don’t want Pedialyte coconut water is full of electrolytes, you can also buy electrolyte powder and added to any kind of liquid you have at home that you like❤
Some of my home remedies invude honey lemon/orange, rinds, mints, n ginger for colds n coughs. Theres a lot of home remedies in my culture than i know..
