Four Ayurvedic Tips to Support Healing From Cold and Cough
Practice Bhastrika Pranayama
Before being sick, I practiced Bhastrika pranayama every day for around ten days. When the Kapha (mucus) in my sinuses cleared, I would feel so much lighter as I sat with a box of Kleenex. This pranayama is excellent for relieving wet cough and clearing obstructions in the chest since it generates heat in the lungs and throughout the body. What I would suggest if you are new to this pranayama is as follows:
Sit in Sukhasana (cross-legged position) with your spine straight. Inhale deeply a few times. Your hands can rest on your thighs. In this pranayama, maintain a forceful, rapid rate of exhalation and inhalation, which is what expands the lungs and gives a boost of energy to the body. Do this 11 times and take a break for 45 seconds and breathe normally. Do this three times. Anyone with high blood pressure or cardiac problems should avoid this pranayama. Also avoid this pranayama if you are pregnant or menstruating.
Take Honey as Medicine
You'll find in Ayurvedic classics that honey is really good for respiratory health and lung sustenance. Since honey naturally has a sweet taste, Ayurveda associates sweetness with compassion, kindness, and love. Both a therapeutic and energetic level of action are present. Spices and other therapeutic plants are carried by honey. Honey is recommended by Ayurveda for Kapha imbalances due to its warming properties. My top two honey-based DIY treatments are easy to use and delightful to take:
Drink a mixture of 1 tsp ginger juice and 1/4 tsp honey two to three times a day.
Combine 1 tsp honey and 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder. Take two times daily.
Use Salt and Turmeric as Throat Healers
In a glass of warm water, combine 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and 1/2 tsp salt twice a day. Make a good gargle. Salt functions as an expectorant, helping to clear mucus and alleviate sore throats, while turmeric is an anti-inflammatory.
Drink Kadha
Whenever my brother and I were unwell, my mother would give us this hot Ayurvedic tea. For all age groups, kadha is a straightforward home cure that performs like magic. In a pan, combine one clove, four to five tulsi leaves, and one tsp of finely ground black pepper powder. Roast for fifteen seconds. To the pan, add 1 tsp freshly grated ginger. Roast for an additional fifteen seconds. Stir in 2 cups water and simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir constantly, then transfer the strained liquid into a mug. Secret: To make this warm beverage tastier for me, my mother would occasionally stir in a small amount of rock sugar or mishri. Add extremely little amounts of mishri (since it elevates the dosha of Kapha).
