SUPPORT YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM:

Good digestion is important for fighting diseases and building immunity. It is the root of good health. Eat three nourishing meals a day. Avoid cold, raw, sugary, oily and processed foods. Chew your food thoroughly and practice mindful eating.

• Cultivate a healthy routine: Regular sleep schedule, adequate sleep, getting natural sunlight and exercise are incredibly beneficial in strengthening and boosting the immune system.
• Sipping warm water/herbal tea throughout the day: This soothes, hydrates, decongests and helps cleanse the body. Avoid cold beverages as they can impact the digestive system. Tulsi and peppermint tea serve as respiratory tonics while also soothing anxiety and the nervous system.
• Gargling with warm salt water twice a day: Gargling with warm salt water helps soothe sore throats. The salt pulls mucus out of the swollen, inflamed tissue, thereby relieving the discomfort.
• Nasya oil (nasal drops): Lubricating the nasal passage and throat with 2-3 drops of herbal sesame oil in each nostril will protect & strengthen the inner mucus membranes to keep away foreign particles.
