As the weather changes, the immune system becomes more susceptible to coughs, colds, and sore throats. The sudden shift in temperature can irritate the throat, weaken the immune system, and make simple breathing difficult. During these times, traditional Indian remedies such as kadhas deliver a natural, useful solution. Kadhas are herbal decoctions prepared by boiling a blend of spices, seasonings, and roots rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and immune-boosting compounds.
Ingredients such as tulsi, ginger, mulethi, giloy, and black pepper function together to soothe the irritation, reduce rash, and help fight infections easily. They not only supply comfort from throat distress but also support the body’s protection, making it more comfortable to ward off seasonal infections. Easy to prepare at home and free from chemicals, these kadhas are a soothing, warm, and holistic way to take care of your throat during the changing weather.
Tulsi, Adrak & Black Pepper Kadha
It is a classic kadha that is prepared by mixing the antibacterial magic of tulsi, the anti-inflammatory warmth of ginger, and the decongesting power of ginger. This kadha is an excellent remedy for sore throats, coughs, congestion and seasonal chills. The slightly spicy flavour instantly loosens the throat and nasal passages, delivering comfort. Sip it while it's a bit warm. This kadha helps in flushing toxins, improves digestion, and boosts immunity.
Mulethi And Cinnamon Kadha
Mulethi has long been well-known in Ayurveda for its relaxing effect on sore throats and dry coughs. When blended with cinnamon or dal chini, which enhances circulation and offers a soothing aroma, this kadha is a natural throat soother. It is mildly sweet and has a calming aftertaste. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help in reducing the throat rash while supporting respiratory health. A cup of this mulethi-cinnamon remedy not only reduces inflammation but also soothes the body.
Haldi And Black Pepper Kadha
Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. When paired with black pepper or kali mirch, its healing properties double, which makes this kadha a powerful immunity booster. The earthy and slightly spicy taste helps in easing throat soreness, calming coughing, and fighting seasonal infections. Having it regularly helps detoxify the system, improve respiratory function, and build immunity against changing weather patterns. Adding a touch of jaggery or honey to this turmeric and black pepper kadha reduces the bitterness, which makes it both healing and satisfying to sip.
Clove, Cardamom & Fennel Kadha
Aromatic and soothing, this kadha delivers comfort with every sip. Clove or laung’s antiseptic oils ease the throat pain, cardamom or elaichi cools the inflammation, and fennel or saunf helps in clearing mucus and easing the throat lining. The kadha has a mild sweetness and a refreshing fragrance that makes it enjoyable even for those who are sensitive to strong herbs. The natural warmth helps open the nasal passage, reduce the cough kinks, and restore voice clarity. Perfect after meals, this kadha balances the digestive system while supporting respiratory health during shifting weather.
Giloy And Tulsi Immunity Kadha
Giloy, known as the 'Amrita' of Ayurveda, is a house of antioxidants that cleanse the blood and boost immunity. When blended with tulsi, it is a powerful shield against colds, sore throats, and flu-like symptoms. This kadha has a little bitter, earthy taste, which is balanced by the fragrant taste of tulsi. It relieves the inflammation, clears toxins, and supports respiratory health. Sipping it during seasonal changes helps in keeping the body’s defence system active and resilient.
