FAQ

Why did Moyna’s Dadu use neem and babool twigs to brush his teeth?
Chewing fresh neem or babool twigs makes a natural brush that removes stuck food particles and massages the gums.

Why do we breathe faster and sweat after running in a game?
Exercise makes the heart pump faster to supply energy to muscles, and sweating cools the warm body down.
