Many people struggle with colds and coughs when the seasons change. Our immune is weakened by severe weather changes, leaving us prone to seasonal diseases. Why not use Indian grandmothers’ ancient knowledge instead of over-the-counter medications? For generations, people have depended on their natural ingredients and Ayurvedic-based home treatments.

Effective Grandma’s Home Remedies:

1. Haldi Doodh, or turmeric milk
   Before bed, a warm glass of turmeric milk helps strengthen immunity, ease sore throats, and fight infections. Simply mix a glass of hot milk with ½ teaspoon of turmeric and sip it every day.
2. A mixture of ginger and honey
   A wonderful natural expectorant can be made by combining crushed ginger with honey. To relieve coughing, take one teaspoon every few hours.
3. Inhaling steam
   Inhale the steam from boiling water with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or carom seeds (ajwain) added. It offers immediate comfort and aids in the removal of nasal congestion.
4. Gargle with warm saltwater
   Gargling with warm salt water (a glass of lukewarm water with ½ teaspoon salt) helps decrease bacterial infections and relieve sore throats.
