Isnāt it fascinating how, since childhood, weāve grown up in a culture where the cure for the most basic problems was never far away?
Cough, cold, sore throatthe solution was always right thereā¦ in our kitchen.
Salt.
Turmeric.
Warm water.
No fancy names. No complicated processes. Just simple wisdom passed down by our grandparents and mothers, quietly woven into our daily lives. When the throat felt scratchy or the cold started creeping in, we didnāt rush to a pharmacy. We were asked to gargle. And somehow, it worked.
Whatās even more beautiful is that we never questioned it back then. We trusted it. We lived it.
But somewhere with time, convenience, and influence, we slowly drifted away. We began ignoring what our roots taught us and started reaching for pills for even the smallest discomfort.
Ayurveda has always believed that the body has the intelligence to heal ā it just needs the right support. And for everyday issues like cough and cold, that support is often already at home.
Do it empty stomach, twice a day.
A pinch of salt + turmeric in lukewarm water, gargled slowly and mindfully, can soothe the throat, reduce inflammation, and support natural healing. Simple. Affordable. Effective.
And very, very Indian.
Maybe itās time we come back home ā to our roots, to our wisdom, to the knowledge our ancestors trusted long before pharmacies existed.
Instead of popping a pill every time, pauseā¦ and ask: What did our elders do?
