Ayurvedic cure for Cough and Cold: A need of the Season

It is the season, of rain, of hot tea and delicious accompaniments, of people frolicking amongst the crowd, with multi-colored umbrellas, of children playing football in the sun, of chirping of crickets at odd hours in the night, of children watching the water flowing on the windows of their school buses, of steam coming out of hot street food items bitten in a hurry by the citizens of the city, of puddles filled with contaminated street water, and to end this sentence, finally, of bacteria and viruses present in the air, as a consequence of which, makes it a season of people constantly sneezing, coughing, and falling sick.

During the rains, most of the people will hear, at least once in the week, someone mentioning himself/herself being affected by a cold/cough/fever. Sometimes, entire smaller groups of populations fall sick due to viral fevers. As a result, a lot of times, the individual or group, has to miss school/office/function/event. An unfortunate delay, which can cause a lot of inconveniences. Is the cold or the flu, such a huge problem, such that people have to miss events and postpone their plans for the day? Can’t a cold/flu be managed with the right care and effort? The average time a cold/flu lasts is around 2-14 days.

When it comes to Ayurveda, the conception of a disease or condition is usually because of the build-up of ama in the body. Ama is the equivalent of toxins in modern science. This ama weakens the digestive power of the digestive system. The moment the digestive power gets affected, an imbalance happens in the body’s doshas or the integral constitution and make-up of the body. Sometimes, just a drop in temperature is enough to affect the digestion strength, but most of the time, it is the toxins that are generated due to bad habits and an unhealthy lifestyle. No matter, so many cases require the Ayurvedic cure for a cough to give proper relief from such imbalances and problematic occurrences in the body.

What happens, in detail, at least according to Ayurveda, is that the ama which is generated goes and clogs the micro-channels that are present in the body. As a result, this clogging starts generating phlegm and it is this phlegm that we see and experience, when down with a cold/cough. So, a cold might be seen as a good thing, as it actually helps in removing the unwanted elements from the body. However, it is the quick, efficient, and most importantly, the right recovery from this cold, that needs to be improved upon.

Following are some spices that are used in the science of Ayurveda, for the Ayurvedic cure for cough and cold: clove, aniseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, coriander, etc. A particular combination of these spices and other food elements, often act as powerful remedies for treating a cold, cough, or fever. The most herbal cure for cough and cold are in the form of oral solutions and drinks and are therefore readily accepted by the body when compared to modern/synthetic pills and tablets.
