POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Mustard oil, garlic and ajwain have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. They have a soothing effect on the baby as they ease congestion. Heat 1/4th cup of mustard oil and add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and carom seeds to it. Once they turn brown, take it off the stove. Massage this oil on the baby’s chest and under his feet.
