Ayurveda tip

Most colds are kapha imbalances — heavy, wet, cold. Counter with the opposite: warm, light, dry. Steam with ajwain or eucalyptus twice a day, gargle with warm salt water, and avoid bananas, curd, and cold drinks until clear. A teaspoon of grated ginger + raw honey + a pinch of black pepper, taken three times daily, is a centuries-old throat soother.
