It is the season that brings us lot of joy with all the downpour but also makes us prone to illnesses. And the first most illness which comes along the monsoon season is cough and cold. There are times when we just can't get rid of this cough and cold as the weather is forever changing from rains to sun and vice versa in no time. And to top it, if our immune system isn't strong enough, it might take us even longer to recover. This is when none of the medicine but Ayurvedic kadhas should be put to use. They won't only soothe our illness down but also make us healthy in no time.

If you can't think of anything, just make yourself some lemon honey tea twice a day and sip on it while it is lukewarm. It will bring down the cough and cold and also be soothing to your burning throat.

Cinnamon is infused with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that helps in soothing down the cold and also cures soar throat and chest congestion. Together, the combination of honey, lemon and cinnamon in a cup of water works wonders for instant relief.

Just mix up a cup of water with half a teaspoon of black pepper, cumin and a piece of jaggery. Bring it to boil in a concoction form and sip on it when it's lukewarm and you'll instantly feel better.

All you need to do is to prepare a warm glass of ginger and tulsi to get rid of soar throat and fever that follows soon after cough and cold. Tulsi is packed with antibacterial compounds while ginger is very beneficial to the health. Both in a combination help to fight cold, cough and congestion.
