Frequently Asked Questions

Is tulsi water helpful?

Allergies or hygiene issues can occur; medical benefit is unclear—discuss with your doctor.

What about bel juice?

Sugar load and hygiene are concerns; it is not a standard fever treatment.

Can I sponge with vinegar?

Avoid—skin irritation and inhalation risk.

Essential oils on the feet?

Sensitivity and toxicity risk in infants—avoid unless a paediatric specialist specifically advises (rare).
