The Cucumber Way

My eyes had been hurting for the last two days coupled with a bad headache. I know that my habit of gluing my eyes on the laptop right from the moment Sanket steps out of the house (that if I don't go off to sleep again) can be the biggest cause. However, I would like to believe that it is not what the reason is because  keeping myself away from the laptop is just not what I can do.


To fight tiredness, I decided to treat my eyes the traditional style... no, not by going off to sleep. I opted for the Cucumber Way!! Trust me, it was such a relief!! The two slices  of cucumber made their way from the eyes to the forehead and very soon, they were everywhere on my face. I felt like the slices were absorbing the heat and fatigue.

Only 5 minutes of the therapy and I felt really fresh... fresh to the extent that I spent the next 2 hours chatting  with my neighbors without any uneasiness... and also to the extent that I decided to share it here... *wink wink*!!

Cucumber cured my headache... may be it's time to kick out Disprin!

Amazed by how quick the Cucumber Therapy worked, I decided to do a little search on the internet. To my surprise, cucumber turned out to be a remedy for a lot of problems. Sharing it here:

• Cucumbers help fight bad breath.
• Can be rubbed on shoes for shine instead of shoe polish.
• The outside of the cucumber can be rubbed on pen and crayon marks on wall to erase them. Moms are you listening?
