Beyond its festive charm, February harbors hidden health threats due to seasonal transitions. The interplay of balmy days and frosty nights erodes natural defenses, paving the way for widespread outbreaks.
Residents often misjudge the mild chill, opting for scant clothing and cool sips, unaware that this invites viral invasions. North India’s unique climate—chilly gusts meets blazing sun—multiplies pathogens, spiking cases of coughs, fevers, and enteric fevers till late March.
Ayurveda recommends immunity-focused regimens for this period. Prepare and sip giloy and tulsi decoction each dawn; dubbed ‘amrita,’ it fortifies the body against seasonal bugs.
Sonth-honey blend serves as a remedy for coughs, loosening stubborn phlegm and providing cold relief. Eschew icy water and dairy chills, embrace tepid hydration, hot-natured foods, and protective garb even in mild warmth.
Adopting these practices transforms vulnerability into resilience, letting you enjoy February’s beauty without falling prey to its ailments.
