The medicinal properties of dates (khajoor) have long been recognised by all disciplines of medicine, including Ayurveda. According to sources, dates arrived in our country from Iraq even though they were originally utilised by the Egyptians to create wine. They are divided into three subcategories: soft, semi-dry, and dry, and there are more than 30 different variations available worldwide. Experts claim that the content of glucose, sucrose, and fructose is used to differentiate products. It is significant to note that all varieties are equally healthy for humans, and it is advised to consume large amounts of them in the winter to keep the body warm and guard against infections of all kinds. Dates are the most effective wintertime cold remedy. Simply bring water to a boil while adding a few dates, some black pepper, and cardamom powder. Before going to bed, boil the mixture and consume it. The next morning, witness the magic.
