Hi friends,
Happy Republic Day to every one.
It is 26 th January today. Still winter is on it's full swing. It is the most hilarious time of the season.
According to ayurveda the "Hemanta" (November - December :beginning of winter) and "Shishira"(January - February: late winter) seasons together, are referred to as the cold season (“sheeta kaala”).
Shishira marks the onset of aadaana kaala (the period of dehydration). Acoording to Ayurveda physical strength and appetite is highest in winter.
In winters, the body retains heat and protects itself from the cold weather. This strengthens the digestive system and makes it capable of digesting large amounts of food. Seasonal food available in this period is also rich and nutritious. This season is particularly good for enhancing immunity (ojus).
But with falling temperature dryness intensifies further. Occasional clouds, wind and rainfall are also features of late winter which we all witnessed it today in the capital during independance day celebrations.
Though it is joyful season many people are seem to be down with cold, cough and sniffles.
You can avoid theses irritating health problems just by follwing simple tips like -
1. Avoiding cold food, cold water and cold drinks
2. Avoid vata-increasing diets (bitter, astringent and pungent tastes)
3. Eating reacher food, but care should be taken not to over eat
In case you're already down with a cold and a cough you can use home remedies to treat it! Here's how:
1. Take 1 tsp of Tulsi juice and honey
2. Take warm water or ginger tea
3. Saute flaxseeds. Add water and boil it.Add 1 small piece of cinnmom, 1 clove, sonuf (aniseeds) and small size onion. Boil until it remains 1/4 and then strain it. Add a few drops of lime juice and honey.Consume the mixture for cold and cough relief
4. Take fumes of ajwain (carom seeds) and haldi (turmeric)
So take the help of ayurveda and stay healthy...
