It is best to take this (or any other) remedy only after consulting your doctor.–you write. If such is the case then why do you call it a “home remedy” Dr. Hebbar?? :))

Good question! 🙂
My definition of home remedy – A home remedy is a medicinal recipe that can be prepared at home, with the ingredients that are usually available at home. It is not something that one can take without medical advice.
