To make potato juice for underarms, you'll need to extract the juice from a grated potato and apply it to the area. Here's a detailed guide:
Steps for Making and Applying Potato Juice
- Grate the Potato: Start by grating a raw potato using a regular grater.
- Extract the Juice: The easiest way to extract the juice is to take the grated potato and squeeze it through a cheesecloth or clean muslin. Gather the grated potato in the cloth, then twist and press to release the juice. Alternatively, you can use a juicer if you have one.
- Application: Apply the freshly extracted potato juice generously to your underarms.
- Wait: Allow the potato juice to sit on your underarms for approximately 10 minutes.
- Rinse: Rinse your underarms with cool water to remove the potato juice.
Combining with Other Remedies (Optional)
For enhanced benefits, you can also use a turmeric and lemon paste after applying the potato juice:
- Lemon and Turmeric Paste: Prepare a paste by mixing 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice with enough turmeric powder to form a thick paste.
- Application: Apply the lemon and turmeric paste to your underarms after washing off the potato juice.
- Wait: Leave it on for a few minutes, and then rinse again with cool water.
