Ayurvedic Rainy Season Remedies
The rainy season brings pleasant weather but also increases the risk of cough, cold, indigestion, allergies, and seasonal infections. Ayurveda recommends simple daily practices, healthy food, and natural herbs to strengthen immunity and maintain overall wellness during the monsoon.
According to Ayurveda, the digestive fire (Agni) becomes weaker during the rainy season, making the body more vulnerable to infections and digestive problems. Following seasonal dietary habits and incorporating Ayurvedic remedies can help maintain balance, improve digestion, and naturally boost immunity.
