Here is 10 in 1 Marundhu Podi to get relief. This can be prepared easily with items commonly available at home. Half a tea spoon of this powder taken with rice or buttermilk twice a day gives much relief (this powder may be used for treating adults and is not recommended to treat infants and children).
