<b>Proverb</b>: Langanam param oushadham (sometimes heards Oushadham param langanam)
<b>Language:</b> Sanskrit
<b>Meaning:</b> Fasting is the best medicine
Commentary: Googling shows that this proverb existed in our culture. Now there are research on these lines....
On a personal note, When I used to quip on his weekly fasting along with my grandmother, this is what he used to say.
