During monsoons, our immunity gets affected due to various factors. The increased humidity and moisture create an environment for the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, leading to an increased risk of infections. The drizzle season brings a host of diseases that one should stay protected from. Additionally, sudden temperature fluctuations and inadequate sunlight exposure can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illnesses. As such, it becomes important to consume a healthy diet and well-being.

Try This 4-Ingredient Recipe to Boost Immunity in Monsoon:

INGREDIENTS:

• Take 1 litre of water
• Add 5-7 Tulsi leaves
• 1 tsp coriander seeds
• 7-10 Mint leaves
• 1 inch of ginger (grated)
  (For people with pitta issues /acidity, excess bleeding, etc- add 1 cardamom too)
• Let it boil for 5 mins, strain and sip on it throughout the day or just 1 glass of it first thing in the morning.

This recipe works well for almost everyone as it contains tulsi & ginger which are hot and mint & coriander that are cool (& instead being cool, they help in improving metabolism and immunity). I suggest everyone to sip on this water either throughout the day or first thing in the morning (at-least 1 glass) during rainy seasons. Please do it for yourself & your family. Dr Savaliya wrote.
