Natural Remedies For Treatment Of Cough And Cold 

Medicines and cough syrups are provided by the doctors for betterment but in addition there are certain natural remedies that a person follows at home and feels better. Here are some:

Use Of Honey

Honey is loaded with antimicrobial properties that not only heavenly use for taste buds but also it helps to ease sore throat. It is an effective cough suppressant. Honey provides relief from chest congestion by loosening mucus and helping it to come out. Take a teaspoonful of honey before going to bed at night to reduce the severity of cough.

Sip Of Tulsi Tea  

Tulsi is known as “ Queen of Herbs” and “ Mother Medicine of Nature”. Tulsi leaves help to improve the ability of the immune system to fight against the common cold and cough. It boosts the production of antibodies which protects the internal system from many infections. Chew the tulsi leaves in the morning and make kadha by adding the tulsi leaves, ginger and black pepper powder in water and boil it. Take this kadha multiple times a day and you feel better.

Hot Drinks ( Ginger, Cinnamon And Turmeric)

Ginger, Cinnamon And Turmeric are potential ingredients with anti-inflammatory and anti- bacterial properties.

Having A Sore Throat DOES NOT MEAN Just Throat Infection….U Might Be Suffering From These !!

What is “Sore throat”?

Sore throat is a scratchy or an itchy sensation in throat which causes discomfort to the patient while swallowing. Many patients may call this scratchy or itchy sensation as –

Irritation in throat

Discomfort in throat

Pain in throat

Burning in throat

Most common causes of sore throat –

Virus : RHINOVIRUS, INFULENZA VIRUS, CORONAVIRUS, ADENOVIRUS etc.

Bacteria: Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus etc.

Less discussed but now common causes of Sore throat which are not detected and patient remains in distress are —

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (पेट में acidity की दिक्कत रहना    या           पेट में तेज़ाब का ज़्यादा बनना        या पेट के तेज़ाब का गले की तरफ आना)

Subacute thyroiditis (aka De Quervain Thyroiditis) (Thyroid ग्रंथि का एक प्रकार का infection)

Tonsil Stones (or Tonsilloliths) (खाने के छोटे-छोटे पदार्थ का Tonsil में फँस जाना)

Excessive Kadha intake (one of the COVID-19 aftermath in India) (काढ़े का अनावश्यक या नियमित मात्रा से अधिक सेवन )

LARYNGOPHARYNGEAL REFLUX (or LPR) and GERD

Laryngopharyngeal Reflux refers to the black flow of stomach contents into the throat. There is one another disease which is also related to backflow of stomach contents known as GERD (or Gastroesophageal reflux disease), which is very similar to but still different from LPR. In GERD patient DOES NOT have any throat symptoms.

Symptoms of GERD will be –

Epigastric burning (खाने के बाद पेट में जलन)

Heart burn (खाने के  बाद छाती में जलन)

Bloating (खाने के बाद पेट का फूलना)

Belching (खट्टी डकार आना)

Heaviness in chest (खाने के बाद छाती में भारीपन महसूस होना)

Difficulty in swallowing (खाना निगलने में तकलीफ होना)

However in LPR, patient will have throat symptoms.

Symptoms of LPR will be –

SORE THROAT (गले में हमेशा खराश बने रहना)

COUGH (खांसी बने रहना)

SENSATION OF LUMP IN THROAT (हमेशा गले में ये महसूस होना की कुछ फंसा हुआ है, जो ना निगला जा रहा है और ना ही बाहर थूका जा रहा है)

SENSATION OF CONSTANT CLEARING THROAT (हमेशा ऐसा महसूस होना की गले में कुछ फंसा हुआ है और उसको निकालने के लिए बार-बार गाला साफ़ करने की कोशिश करना…. और जब मरीज़ बार-बार गाला साफ़ करता रहता है तो इस से उस के गले में खराश कम नहीं होती बल्कि और बढ़ जाती है)

Excessive saliva/mucus production (मुँह में अधिक थूक बन���ा)

THROAT PAIN (गले में दर्द बने रहना)

BAD BREATH (मुँह से बदबू आना)

HOARSENESS OF VOICE (आवाज़ खराब होना)

यानि की पेट में तेज़ाब ज़्यादा बनने से और उस तेज़ाब का पेट से वापस गले की तरफ आने से भी आपका गला ख़राब हो सकता है ……..ये ज़रूरी नहीं है की आपको गले का infection हुआ हो और आपको antibiotic खाने की ज़रूरत हो… . . बल्कि ये दिक्कत मामूली गैस की दवाई खाने से ही ठीक हो सकती है I

SUBACUTE THYROIDITIS (DE QUERVAIN’S THYROIDITIS)

The diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis is often overlooked because the symptoms can mimic Throat infection.

The peak incidence occurs at 30-50 years. Occurs more frequently in Women than Men.

The patient in Subacute thyroiditis will also have symptoms like of a throat infection such as –

Sore throat

Fever

Weakness

Difficulty in swallowing

Pain during swallowing.

Enlarged surrounding lymph nodes.

Apart from this, the distinguishing feature will be presence of a painful and mildly enlarged thyroid gland.

Diagnosis can be made by a simple Ultrasound of neck, and if required FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology).

FNAC एक साधारण जांच है जिसमे छोटी सी सुई thyroid ग्रंथि में डाली जाती है और एक बिलकुल महीन सा टुकड़ा लिया जाता है…….इस टुकड़े की जांच में Subacute thyroiditis confirm हो जाता है I

Subacute thyroiditis का पता लगना इसलिए ज़रूरी है क्यूंकि भले ही इसके symptoms throat infection जैसे हो परन्तु इसका इलाज throat infection से बिलकुल ही अलग होता है I

TONSIL STONES

This is a condition which is very commonly presented to an ENT doctor where the patients complaint that he/she sees creamish-white or white particles in the throat and they keep coming in the mouth spontaneously or while coughing or sneezing. These particles are very foul-smelling and some even think of it as an indication of cancer.

However, it is NOT AT ALL related to cancer and patients do not need to worry about this. These are just food debris that are stuck in the tonsils.

Due to poor mouth rinsing and gargling, these food particles get stuck in the throat and cause –

SORE THROAT.

Bad Breath.

Discomfort in throat.

Sensation of something scratching the throat from inside.

These can be treated at home by simple gargling of mouth every time patient eats something with simple luke warm water or patient may use Betadine 2% (w/v) mint gargles also. [Take 150-200 ml of luke warm water and mix 5-10 ml of betadine gargles in it. Now do gargling at least three times in a day for 2-3 weeks, and if required may be for longer duration].

यानि की tonsil में फंसे हुए खाने के ��हीन टुकड़ों से भी आपको ये महसूस हो सकता है की आपका गला ख़राब है, या आपको गले का infection हुआ है  और आपको antibiotic खाने की ज़रूरत हो… . . . .

बल्कि ये दिक्कत मामूली गरारे करने से ही ठीक हो सकती है I

EXCESSIVE KADHA (काढ़ा) INTAKE

During COVID times, it is very commonly seen that almost all homes developed their own recipe of making kadha (काढ़ा ) from youtube or internet article or Whatsapp or from google, and started drinking it 2 to 4 times a day like an immunity booster so as to save themselves from catching coronavirus infection.

However, I would like to break this to everyone reading this that……….. Kadha CAN NOT act as a miracle potion in saving you from catching coronavirus infection. eg. If you come in contact with a coronavirus-positive patient without a mask and shook hands with him…..you CANNOT think that because you have been drinking kadha 2-4 times in a day all these times so you can not catch the infection.

Drinking kadha may have some beneficial effect on some individuals and intake in moderation is still justified.

However, it was seen that people started presenting to ENT OPD with complaints of severe throat pain, excessive sore throat, the sensation of something stuck in the throat, the sensation of a lump in the throat after drinking kadha.  

Kadha is a drink that can contain various ingredients which can vary from—-

Ginger (अदरक)

Black Pepper (क���ली मिर्च)

Cinnamon (दालचीनी)

Turmeric (हल्दी)

Giloy (गिलोए)

Liquorice (मुलेठी)

Indian ginseng (अष्वगंधा)

Dry ginger (सोंठ)

Fennel (सौंफ)

Long pepper (पीपली)

Cardamom (इलायची)

Basil (तुलसी)

Mint (पुदीना)

Cloves (लौंग)

These ingredients when not put in a properly measured amount do not make an “immunity booster kadha” rather patient makes a “TROUBLE DRINK” for himself.

Because of excessive kadha intake, many patients have reported to ENT OPD with—

SORE THROAT (गले में ख़राश)

Severe congestion of the throat leading to severe pain in throat. (गला पकने की वजह से गले में दर्द रहना)

Burning stomach (पेट में जलन रहना)

Chest discomfort (छाती में भारीपन रहना)

Hyperacidity (पेट में तेज़ाब ज़्यादा बनना)

Flaring up of GERD and LPR

Mouth and tongue ulcers (मुँह और जीभ में छाले होना)

Indigestion leading to further flaring up of GERD and LPR. (बदहज़मी)

Hence, I suggest that kadha might be having its good effects when made properly with the right ingredients mixed in the right proportion and if taken in moderation…………..

But if not made properly and if taken in excess will DEFINITELY cause distress and discomfort to the patient.

[genxsoftofficial]

Most of us are in a habit of enlivening ourselves by sipping our tea. And ever since the pandemic struck last year, our perspectives towards tea did not remain the same. Earlier, we drank a variety of  teas for simple goals such as well-being, enjoyment, suppressing our hunger and restlessness or extended it to the purpose of trying what's new in the market.

However, after Covid-19,  it changed to what's the purpose of having tea? Yes, we defined our purpose for having tea according to our body needs and constitution. We were guided towards different kadhas, herbal teas and drinking of lukewarm water as much as possible. Also, no one can deny the fact that tea prices rose almost to double during the pandemic. The tea which used to cost Rs 80-90 was priced between Rs 125-145 instantly.

All of us tried different kadhas, types of teas, turmeric lattes, using a variety of herbs from our kitchen in our tea. And we all tried our hands at different recipes and played around with different mixes of tea, customised according to the need of our body constitution.

Many people learnt how to identify body constitutions or Dosha Prakriti. Be it you are of Vaat constitution or of  Pitta or Kapha, tea changes amplify your mood, and can help you to heal. Such herbal teas, which are made up of flowers, herbs and spices definitely help in reduction of anxiety, worry, fear, anger, irritation, depression and other emotional imbalances.

But did you know there are different types of teas available in the market according to your need? Yes, the motive specific Ayurvedic and flower teas or the calming “tisane” (the French word for tea) are very helpful.

Well, you need not know rocket science for that, just know what you want around your health and you are good to go. If you are a sickly type, who is constantly felled by stomach upsets, headaches and colds or among those who just wish to detox and relax, you need not worry as there are plenty of tea concoctions available according to your need. Not forgetting that there are people who aim at having good skin and keep their diabetes in check.

Usually, we can have different motives for drinking tea – you may want to lose weight, or just get relieved from stress, many are there who want their skin to glow, or bust the cold, cough or headache.  Luckily, there's always a soothing cup of herbal tea available or even better, most of the herbs can be grown at home in your potted plants. And neither of these teas would require any special equipment to make them. The teas I have mentioned below are usually drunk hot and preferably in the mornings and evenings for at least a month for the effect to be visibly noticed. And since these teas do not have any caffeine in them though, they can easily be drunk at night as well.

I have also mentioned the tentative herbs your motive specific tea may include.

Reduce your blood sugar: If your aim is as the start of this para mentions, do try Hibiscus Flower Tea, it helps in reducing blood sugar.  Hibiscus flower tea contains powerful antioxidants that protect and repair cells; offers a rich source of iron to support strong blood and circulation; helps reduce blood sugar levels by prohibiting the absorption of carbohydrates; supports weight loss and weight management goals; calms the digestive system; and offers gastrointestinal relief.

Acidity relief tea: Yes this blend of herbal tea would include ingredients like Anantmool (Hemidesmus Indicus), Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia), Bala (Sida Cordifolia), Rasna (Pluchea Lanceolata), Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus), Coriander Seed, Licorice Root, Cardamom, Milk Thistle and Ginger etc.

Clear skin tea: Now this is something most women would fall for (pun intended). This type of tea generally consist of flowers and herbs such as Rose Petals, Calendula, Rosemary Leaves, Lavender Flower, Mint (Pudina) Leaves, Sage, Chamomile Flower, Thyme Leaves, Licorice Root, Neem Leaves, Aloe Vera leaves and Green Tea.

Detox tea: I believe this is the latest fad in the market. All the conscious ones are popping in pills but they can switch to the specific Organic Chamomile Tea as Calming Tisane – it helps in improving sleep quality. Chamomile naturally relaxes the nervous system, which not only aids against insomnia, but also improves sleep quality. It calms an upset stomach and boost your immune system.

PCOS relief tea: I find this as the most common condition found in women. Now you girls can integrate the following herbs or tea type for containing this messy ailment. Such type of flower or herb blend tisane helps cure acne, facial hair growth, scalp hair loss related to hormonal imbalance. It consists of Organic Spearmint Leaves (Mentha Spicata), Cinnamon Barks (Cinnamomum Verum), Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera), Vana Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum), Gokhshura (Tribulus Terrestris), Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra), St John Wort (Hypericum perforatum), Organic Nettle Leaves (Urtica Dioica), Flax Seed (Linum Usitatissimum), Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum), Chaste Berry (Vitex Agnus-Castus) and Green Tea and the list can be a little different according to the brand you opt for.

Ayurveda, being the science of life, propagates the gifts of nature in maintaining healthy and happy living. Ayurveda’s extensive knowledge base on preventive care derives from the concepts of “Dinacharya” - daily regimes and “Ritucharya” - seasonal regimes to maintain healthy life. It is a plant-based science. The simplicity of awareness about oneself and the harmony each individual can achieve by uplifting and maintaining his or her immunity is emphasized across Ayurveda’s classical scriptures.

Ayurvedic Tea In Rainy Season

After bearing the scorching heat for months, monsoon comes as a sigh of relief. The Arrival of monsoon also brings along with it a rise in seasonal flu and viral infections. Ayurveda suggests that there is an aggravation in the vata dosha during the monsoon which makes people prone to illnesses. In order to keep these illnesses at bay we need to make some modifications in our everyday routines as per the changing seasons.

Herbal Tea for Stress Reduction and Immune Health - Solshop

Understanding the intricate relationship between stress and the immune system provides valuable insights into how our body responds to various stimuli. Stress, along with other factors, can have a huge impact on the immune system, influencing its ability to defend the body against infections and diseases.

The Stress-Immune System Connection:

Sympathetic Nervous System Activation: When the body perceives stress, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, initiating the "fight or flight" response. This response is essential for dealing with immediate threats but can become problematic when stress is chronic. The release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline can suppress certain immune functions.

Cytokine Imbalance: Chronic stress can lead to an imbalance in cytokine production. Cytokines are signalling molecules that play a crucial role in immune responses. Stress-induced alterations in cytokine levels may contribute to inflammation and weaken the immune system.

Now that we know how stress is connected to the immune system. Let's understand how it impacts our immunity.

Effects of Chronic Stress on Immune Function:

Reduced White Blood Cell Production: Chronic stress has been associated with a decrease in the production of white blood cells, including lymphocytes, which are essential for the body's defence against infections.

Impaired Immune Response: Prolonged exposure to stress can impair the immune response by reducing the activity of natural killer cells, T cells, and other immune components.

Inflammation: Stress-induced inflammation can contribute to various health issues. Inflammation is a natural part of the immune response, but chronic inflammation can be harmful and has been linked to various diseases.

Watch this video to understand more about the Stress-Immune Connection.

Herbal Teas as Stress-Relievers

Enter the world of herbal teas—a soothing and natural way to combat stress. Certain herbs contain compounds that interact with our nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing the impact of stress on the body. Here are some herbal teas that stand out for their stress-reducing properties:

Chamomile Tea: Chamomile is a gentle herb known for its calming effects. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to specific receptors in the brain, inducing relaxation and reducing anxiety. A warm cup of chamomile tea in the evening can help unwind the mind and prepare the body for restful sleep.

Adaptogenic Elixirs: Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha, holy basil (tulsi), and rhodiola have been traditionally used to help the body adapt to stress. Incorporating these herbs into herbal tea blends can provide a holistic approach to stress management.

Boosting Immunity Through Herbal Infusions

Many herbal teas also contribute to immune health because of herbs that are rich in antioxidants, increased production of white blood cells and anti-inflammatory properties.

Echinacea Tea: Echinacea is renowned for its immune-stimulating properties. Regular consumption of echinacea tea may help support the immune system, making it a valuable addition during periods of heightened stress.

Ginger and Turmeric Blends: Ginger and turmeric are potent anti-inflammatory herbs. Combining them in a tea not only provides a comforting, warming beverage but also delivers immune-boosting benefits.

Berry Infusions: Strawberries and cranberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making them a popular choice for immune support.

For example, intake of Zinc, and Vitamins C and D is seen to be generally lower than what is required for optimal immune function. Also, while omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA and DHA are essential, a typical Indian diet may not include it in adequate quantities, since these are found primarily in fish oil and a majority of the India population is vegetarians. These nutrition gaps have led to a rise in lifestyle diseases, as well as lower immunity levels.
