With smog blanketing cities and pollution piercing deep into lungs, India’s health landscape faces a dire threat. The Ayush Ministry cuts through the haze: mere masks fall short. Empower your immunity with Ayurveda’s profound, household remedies to neutralize airborne adversaries.
Foundationally, turn to fresh, regional fruits and vegetables. Winter’s gems—oranges, guava, carrots, spinach, radishes, turnips, greens—pack vitamins that rebuild cells battered by pollutants.
Elevate with daily ginger, long pepper, haritaki, bibhitaki intake. This synergistic mix enhances respiratory health and immunity, easily added to brews or powders.
Warmth inside out starts with tepid water boosted by lemon, honey, tulsi. Master the kadha ritual: tulsi-ginger-cinnamon-clove-pepper-jaggery infusion, savored 2-3 times for relief from pollution-provoked ailments like cough and congestion.
Culinary choices matter—hot, fresh meals digest effortlessly, sustaining strength. Ghee quells toxin-induced inflammation; milk, jaggery, and nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, raisins) deliver sustained energy.
Integrate movement, breathwork, and sleep for synergy. Seek medical counsel for personalized safety. In pollution wars, Ayurveda’s inner fortification prevails.
