She also talks about ways you can prevent contracting viral cold or cough in the first place, because prevention is better than cure.

Avoid kapha (cold) aggravating factors such as:

1. Cold drinks

2. Yoghurt, especially when mixed with fruits.

3. Ice creams, sugary food, deep fried food, heavy food.

4. Day sleep (It is is strictly prohibited)

5. Late nights (staying awake until late)

“Keep these remedies and suggestions close as the weather changes and the winter chill creeps in. Be mindful of how much cold water you consume, and don’t forget to take care of yourself even when life gets busy,” she concluded.

Vikas Chawla, Ayurveda Expert, Vedas Cure said that most of our illnesses can be “effectively cured by the miraculous ingredients that our family’s women hide in the kitchen”. “Consuming turmeric powder with honey or chewing raw turmeric for minutes at different quarters of the day is one of the few ingredients that bring relief from cough and sore throat. Simultaneously, cloves and ginger, in the form of juice or tea, can cure colds and coughs soon after one starts the cure. Tulsi is also believed to be an effective remedy as kadha or, along with other compositions, better consumed in a warm state, to deliver better results,” he told indianexpress.com.
