The monsoon season brings with it the joy of rains, lush greenery, and a much-needed drop in temperatures. But along with these delights, it also ushers in a season of sniffles, colds, coughs, and weakened immunity. Our bodies are more prone to infections during this time due to increased humidity and fluctuating weather.
In Ayurveda, this season is known for causing Agni Mandya—a weakening of the digestive fire—resulting in lowered immunity. To combat this, our ancestors turned to kitchen remedies rooted in powerful herbs and spices like Tulsi, Turmeric, and Dry Ginger.
🌿 Tulsi (Holy Basil)
Known as the “Queen of Herbs”, Tulsi helps fight respiratory ailments, supports the immune system, and reduces inflammation. It’s a revered adaptogen that brings balance to the body and mind.
✨ Turmeric (Haldi)
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It’s been used for centuries to purify the blood and support the body’s natural defenses.
🔥 Dry Ginger (Shunthi)
A go-to remedy for colds and indigestion, dry ginger helps ignite the digestive fire, clears respiratory passages, and keeps Kapha dosha in balance during the damp monsoon months.
Recently I tasted Boonlife’s products and found that some of them are perfect for the monsoon season. What I personally loved about Boonlife’s range is:
