VICTIM OF "EVIL EYE"?


North India is 180 degrees opposite of South India in every aspect including political views.

But one thing that is common is the use of Chile peppers to ward off Evil Eye effects.

In India, chile peppers are used in many different ways to ward off evil eye. Most popular among the methods is to hang five or seven chile peppers strung with a lemon at the bottom or in between.

This contraption is hung plumb at the entrance of any home or shop.

Young children and pretty girls often suffer due to the "EVIL EYE" effect. Their anxious and worried mothers and grandmothers remove the bad effects by throwing salt and dry chile pepper pods in a fire after performing simple rituals like circling salt and chile pods or mustard seeds and chile pods over the victim's heads and body and then throwing them in the fire. The resultant smoke removes the evil eye effects!!

Try it out....You've got nothing to lose (except seven chile peppers and a lime).
