Delhi Air Pollution: Winter has officially arrived in India, bringing with it a drastic drop in air quality in Delhi. In mid-November, the city is already engulfed in a thick layer of smog, which is badly affecting people’s health. Many residents are facing problems like difficulty in breathing and throat irritation.
It is expected that as the winter deepens, the pollution levels will worsen even more, making Delhi’s air even more difficult to breath.
Therefore, it is very important to prepare in advance and take steps to protect your health. But there is no need to worry. Today, we bring you some Ayurvedic remedies that can strengthen your body and help you stay safe. Let’s learn about these remedies.
Turmeric Milk and Gargling
Drinking a glass of turmeric milk before bed is a simple and effective way to strengthen your immune system. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of turmeric help soothe the respiratory system and relieve irritation caused by polluted air.
Additionally, gargling with warm turmeric water can ease throat irritation and reduce inflammation caused by exposure to pollution.
Amla Juice
Amla, a winter superfood rich in vitamin C, helps combat the harmful effects of pollution on the body and strengthens the immune system. Drinking amla juice or eating one amla daily boosts immunity, makes breathing easier and keeps your skin protected from pollution-induced damage.
Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing a small amount of coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for about 5 minutes. This technique creates a protective layer around your gums and teeth, which prevents toxins and allergens from polluted air from entering your mouth.
The oil acts as a natural barrier, preventing pollutants from entering your system, keeping your mouth clean.
Neem Water
Adding neem water to your routine can help remove pollutants from your skin and hair. Neem has powerful antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that protect the skin and hair from the harmful effects of pollutants. To make it, boil neem leaves in water, let it cool and use it as a rinse while bathing.
