New Delhi: As winter sets in, the drop in temperature, cold winds, and rising pollution make both children and adults more vulnerable to infections. Seasonal ailments like cold, cough, and flu become increasingly common. During this time, it is essential to keep the body’s immune system strong. According to health experts, when the immune system is strong, common illnesses such as cold and cough tend to subside naturally.
In Ayurveda, natural and home-based remedies are considered the most effective ways to prevent such seasonal infections. Among them, drinking kadha (a traditional herbal decoction) is regarded as the most beneficial. An Ayurvedic kadha made with ingredients like ginger, basil (tulsi) leaves, black pepper, and turmeric helps boost immunity while relieving sore throat, phlegm, and nasal congestion. Adding a small amount of honey not only enhances its taste but also increases its healing properties. Consuming this kadha twice a day keeps the body warm and helps reduce the impact of seasonal infections.
