Ayurvedic Winter Flu Recovery Soup - Warming, immune-boosting, easy to digest

Purpose:
This soup uses Ayurvedic principles to kindle agni (digestive fire), balance vata and kapha (both aggravated by cold/damp weather), and help the body recover from or prevent seasonal flu.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

1/2 cup red lentils (masoor dal) – rich in iron and easy to digest

1 tsp grated fresh ginger – boosts agni, clears congestion

2 cloves garlic – natural antimicrobial

1/2 tsp turmeric – anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive

1/2 tsp cumin seeds – aids digestion

1/2 tsp coriander seeds – balances heat and detoxifies

1/4 tsp ground black pepper – enhances absorption of turmeric

1 small carrot, chopped – adds sweetness and grounding

1/2 zucchini or seasonal root vegetable, chopped

1 tbsp ghee or olive oil – nourishes and grounds vata

4 cups water or vegetable broth

Himalayan salt to taste

Optional: a pinch of asafoetida (hing) – reduces bloating and supports gut health

Fresh coriander leaves to garnish

Optional: squeeze of lemon (add just before serving)

Method

Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and soak for 15–30 minutes (optional but aids digestion).

In a pot, warm the ghee or olive oil. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and asafoetida (if using). Sauté until aromatic.

Add ginger, garlic, turmeric, and black pepper. Stir for a minute.

Add chopped carrots, zucchini (or your chosen veg), and soaked lentils. Stir briefly to coat with spices.

Pour in the water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until lentils and vegetables are soft.

Add salt to taste. Use a hand blender if you prefer a smooth texture, or leave chunky for more grounding.

Garnish with fresh coriander and a dash of lemon juice just before serving.

Ayurvedic Tips:

Eat warm, cooked meals during winter to balance vata and kapha.

Avoid dairy, sugar, and raw foods when fighting a cold or flu.

Sip warm water or herbal teas (like tulsi, ginger, or licorice) throughout the day.

Don’t wait for symptoms to arise - prevention is your strongest ally. Let this winter be a time of intentional rest, healing, and immune resilience. Schedule your acupuncture or osteopathy session today and give your body the care it deserves.

This randomized clinical trial found that in patients with chronic sciatica from herniated disk, acupuncture resulted in less pain and better function compared with sham acupuncture at week 4, and these benefits persisted through week 52. Acupuncture should be considered as a potential treatment option for patients with chronic sciatica from a herniated disk.

This multicenter randomized clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture in patients with chronic sciatica from herniated disk.

Gas and bloating can be caused by a number of factors including poor diet, low digestion, food intolerances, incompatible food combinations, parasites, insufficient chewing, rushing and not taking the time to enjoy your food, alcohol, caffeine and the list goes on.
So how do you know which of these factors is affecting your digestive health?
Both Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine consider all of these factors when assessing the patient for health conditions. We take your pulse, look at your tongue, discuss health history, palpate and sometimes even listen to your digestion. The answer is often much easier than you think.
If you are suffering from gas and or bloating it may be a symptom of something else or something as benign as needing to chew your food properly. Either way regular bloating and gas is not normal and should be investigated.
