Project Roohie # 19 CINNAMOM AND GINGER FOR A PAINLESS PERIOD • "I used to get a lot of pain during my periods. I had severe cramps in my abdomen and back, and heating pads also didn't help. One of our neighborhood ladies told me about the magic of Cinnamon and Ginger, and suggested I try them once during my periods. Three to four cinnamons, crushed slightly, to be chewed raw cinnamon after crushing them lightly and followed by a glass of warm water. Honestly, it brought a lot of relief for me. The ginger also acts the same. Small pieces of ginger crushed and mixed with salt can really help you get relief from the worst pain of your period. You can adjust/ modify the quantity according to your taste/ need." ~ @sanziwitachoudhury -------------------------------------------------- Project Roohie is an archive of traditional and contemporary wellness tools and practices rooted in the aesthetics of organic living and sustainability.

Project Roohie # 19 THE BENEFITS OF TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL I have always been interested in essential oils. But I had not tried it. Then one day while spending some leisure time with friends, a massive hive of bees broke out and stung two of us. I did not know till then that I was allergic to bee stings. My swollen finger just did not seem to calm down. I was advised to apply some Eucalyptus Essential Oil to the affected area. And it worked like magic! I fell in love with essential oils since then. I came to know that you can also apply Tea Tree Essential Oil to treat bee and wasps stings. I invested in it. Then after much research I found out that Tea Tree essential oil actually has several other uses too. I use it with a carrier oil like Jojoba for my scalp. It not only helps in removing dandruff but it is also a very calming tool for head massage. You can also apply it on your face and body. Just add a few drops of it to any carrier oil of your choice and you are good to go. Benefits of Tea Tree Essential Oil : Tea Tree oil removes spots from your skin and keeps it healthy. It helps in treating Athelete’s foot. It relieves acne. It helps in removing nail fungus. And, it is, as I already mentioned, good for your hair. Do not forget to first try some on a small patch of your skin to test for any allergic reaction. (In the pictures, @aromamagicindia Tea Tree Essential Oil . It is one of the best in the market.) -------------------------------------------------- Project Roohie is an archive of traditional and contemporary wellness tools and practices rooted in the aesthetics of organic living and sustainability.

Project Roohie # 18 • • • • • • "Wellness for me would be a,sense of calm and relaxation. Something that can wind up a busy day of work and makes me feel at rest. Music brings me peace of mind like none other. It indulges me, elevates me to different moods. My playlist is not fixed. It varies from morning ragas to Indie pop. With music I am quite explorative as well. Another thing that brings me a lot of good energy is watching the sun set in the sea. Which of course calls for vacations from time to time. Being a metro city boy all through my life, I love the aura it brings with the relaxing sound of waves." ~ @soumyasin1 PC: @starr_e_nightt -------------------------------------------------- Project Roohie is an archive of traditional and contemporary wellness tools and practices rooted in the aesthetics of organic living and sustainability.

Project Roohie # 17 THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS OF JOURNALING • Although this was a long time ago in 2008-09, it is still very vivid in my memories. I suffered that much. • I had always been a disciplined student in school, thanks to my parents for instilling such values in me during my childhood. After I had done relatively well in the 10th standard, I as well as my parents were clueless regarding the discipline that I would choose for my plus two. • I ended up opting for Sciences as I, like most of us Indians, had fallen prey to the hierarchy of academic disciplines. And the two following years after that decision made me suffer, in academics, emotionally and then physically. I could not grow an interest in my discipline. I felt like a failure and could not express it to anyone in particular. • It was during those bad days, one of my uncles gifted me a journal. I started writing on it -- first a few words, then jotting down every feeling that I had every single day. Journaling became my hobby and the journal, my best friend. It helped me unload myself of all my problems. Writing things down made decision-making more evident to me. It rescued me from being drowned in the chaos. It made me strong as a human being. • I have been keeping a journal ever since. Baring myself within the pages of my journals have made me understand myself and recognise where my passions lie. I chose to do what I love despite all odds. I owe my gratitude to the problems I had faced to have triggered me to enter into a whole new motivating world of journaling. And most of all, I thank my uncle for his gift! -------------------------------------------------- Project Roohie is an archive of traditional and contemporary wellness tools and practices rooted in the aesthetics of organic living and sustainability.

Project Roohie # 16 MICROCOSM OF HAPPINESS • "I started out as an aquarist 20 years back. In middle school, taking on the passion from an uncle, and soon building an entirely separate world of my own through the aquarium. When something's new, it's easier to be excited. Everything fills you with wonder, because you are learning. Two decades later, though, I'm still as passionate about my aquariums and they have grown in both number and size. I have been a regular at Sunday aquarist clubs all these years and been in the company of some fabulous people who share the same joys. It is not just a pretty little thing to decorate your living room -- maintaining an aquarium takes time, effort and, most of all, consistency. So it is with any hobby you follow. But it's easier to go the extra mile for the things you love. There's no replacing that. When you connect, you do it wholeheartedly. At the end of a busy day when I come home, these little creatures offer a space of repose. Their joy as they bob up and down in the waters seeing me bring their food, it's an unparalleled feeling. Of being recognised. That when the whole world may be against me on some days, I still have an alternate universe to take refuge in." ~ Arnab (@bongfishlover) -------------------------------------------------- Project Roohie is an archive of traditional and contemporary wellness tools and practices rooted in the aesthetics of organic living and sustainability.

Project Roohie # 15 GREEN THERAPY • I come from a small town, by the banks of the Brahmaputra, and grew up always in the midst of nature. There was no dearth of greens, leisure time meant running amuck with neighbours, plucking flowers and building imaginary worlds out of twigs and pebbles. Till the age of 5, I had an evening ritual with my father to go watch the sunset in a nearby dyke. We named it "dhunia thai", meaning 'beautiful place', and it was as simple as that. • Which is why, perhaps, I struggle living in a concrete jungle with no space for greens. It will be wrong to say I have not had pleasure discovering the other stretches of civilization, living in colonies and galis teeming with people from all corners of the country, across class backgrounds, from diverse cultures. No denying the growth this kind of living allows, of attitude and perspectives and learning to adapt and adjust. Yet, the peace of having a river body close by (there's something water, especially a river, does that calms me to the shell), or a frontyard with maa's meticulous flower beds and lemon trees, the delicious aroma of greens, leave with a constant longing for space and quiet and solitude. • It will not be wrong to say much of adulthood so far has been a tussle between these two contradictory pulls of what my soul craves for and finds in two wholly varied curves of existence. A friend who loses sleep over things like plastic waste as much as me recently told me she has started composting her kitchen waste and upcycling old clothes. It's not hard to imagine how simple decisions such as these if taken by us all could significantly alter our city landscapes over time. That waste dump you see on your way to morning walk could become empty at last, and maybe offer itself to a community garden of sorts. • I picture a garden each in all the waste dumps that have been created in the neighbourhood I live in. Can we make our cities greener with collective effort? ~ @starr_e_nightt • PC: @the_picture_patch_moments • #houseofnoorie #thesoulsearcher #selfcare #projectroohie #collabseries #wastemanagement #organic #community #gardening #greenlife #kitchenremedies #kitchengarden #sustai
