November 13, 2008


Curd is a dairy product that is made from fermented milk. When milk is curdled with rennet, or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, the liquid portion is drained off and solid part is known as curd. It takes approximately 6 hours for the curd to form in hot weather conditions but in cold winters it may take upto 12 to 16 hours.

Curd is rich in carbohydrates and has high nutritional values, it is also a rich source of calcium. The good bacteria in curd is useful in many skin and hair related disorders. It conditions the hair and makes it soft and smooth, cures dandruff. It should not only be applied externally but also taken everyday with the meals. Some of the home remedies for hair care are suggested below;
