Ayurveda offers simple home remedies for congestion and throat comfort—learn how to use trikatu, tulsi, and soothing herbs safely.

Understanding Respiratory Imbalance in Ayurveda

Seasonal colds, congestion, and sluggishness often occur when Kapha accumulates and Agni weakens. Ayurveda uses warming herbs to open channels and restore flow.

Key Herbs in Cold & Flu Powder

  • Trikatu: Stimulates warmth and clears congestion.
  • Tulsi: A classical herb for cough and respiratory ease.
  • Licorice: Soothes throat irritation.
  • Citrus peel: Lightens Kapha and refreshes the breath.

How to Use the Powder

  1. Mix ¼–½ tsp in hot water or honey.
  2. Sip slowly to enjoy its warming, clearing effects.
  3. Pair with steam inhalation or warm soups for added comfort.

When to Seek Medical Care

If symptoms last more than a few days, include fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, or persistent cough, consult a doctor immediately. Ayurvedic powders complement—not replace—clinical care.
