Hi,
I
make this powder once in a year during summer and store it .Iam using this powder for my baby right from her birth , except
I included poppy seeds now and rest of the ingredients Iam using
from month 2 for her and it really shows very good results for her
skin.
We
have a tradition to use Nalungu podi for new born babies and we use
it for a year , but as I liked it Iam using it even after 3 years to
my daughter.
It
has so many medical properties like clear skin , rashes free , gives
glowing to baby skin.
Even
adults too can use this powder.
The
recipe is as below,

Thiruneerpathni
leaves- handful ( optional).
METHOD
:
- You can buy all the above turmeric ingredients in Ayurveda shops ( nattumarunthu shop) .
- Sundry them for 4 days till they become complete dry.
- Grind them to fine powder and store in dry containers , you can store them for years.
- Add a spoonful of powder to a bowl and add little water to make it to paste.
- After bathing your baby with your regular soap , finally apply the above paste all over the body and wash.
- Make sure you don't apply it to eyes , as for kids it may irritate.
- Poppy seeds are bleaching agent so I didn't added it earlier , I added them only after my daughter's first birthday.
- Even for adults you can use them as facepack , mix 1 tsp of above powder with little rose water and apply in face . Wash after drying for glowing,pimple free face.
- Kondakadalai ( chickpeas) also can be added with green moongal while grinding.In that case add 125 gms chickpeas and 125 gms of moongdal.
