Building Immunity with Herbs
|
As fall turns to winter, the number of cases of common cold start increasing. In fact most colds occur between the months of September to March after which they taper off. Scientific evidence shows that just cold temperatures themselves are not to blame but the fact that cold causing viruses survive better in conditions of low humidity which generally occurs during the colder months. Nasal passages and mucus linings also become drier making them prone to viral infections. In addition to seasonal changes in humidity, people tend to stay indoors longer thereby increasing chances of infection through contact
Cold symptoms usually start showing 2-3 days after infection. Anti-biotics may provide quick relief of symptoms but do not treat the underlying cause. In fact anti-biotic use during colds is generally not recommended as many times not only do the symptoms get worse but they also interfere with the body's own defense systems. The best way to prevent or lower the risks of catching cold and other infections is by building immunity. Herbs such as Amla, Vasaka, Ashwagandha, Licorice, Manjistha and Shilajit (mineral pitch) are well known for their properties in preventing and treating infections.
Dabur Chyawanprash is probably the best known ayurvedic formulation that is known to build immunity and protects against coughs and colds. It is also an excellent tonic that provides relief after catching cold. It contains 40 herbs that strengthen the body's immune system and improves overall strength and vigor. Available as a tangy sweet-sour tasting jam it is good for children and adults.
Septilin is another herbo-mineral ayurvedic formulation that helps build the body's defence mechanisms. Septilin works by increasing the effectiveness of white blood cells. It not only builds up the body's resistance to infections but also prevents repeat infections. As a result it is effective not only in preventing upper and lower respiratory tract infections but other infections of the skin, eye, joints, and urinary tract.
Vasaka / Malabar Nut - This herb is excellent for decongestion and for clearing mucus. It helps to reduce inflammation and supports the bronchial system. It is assists in all forms of respiratory problems including asthma, bronchitis and flu.
Turmeric - Also known as curcumin, turmeric's various benefits are legendary. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant and helps in building the body's resistance to colds. It also helps to destroy germs being a natural anti-septic and anti-bacterial agent.
Holy Basil / Tulasi - Holy Basil fights viral and bacterial infections. It is considered an excellent remedy for respiratory disorders. Tea made with tulasi leaves is an age-old home remedy in India for colds, coughs and sinus infections. Tulasi was in the news during the 2003 SARS outbreak when a combination of Tulasi, Turmeric and black pepper helped alleviate symptoms.
Amalaki / Indian gooseberry - This fruit is said to contain the highest amount of naturally ocurring vitamin C. Its high vitamin content in combination with its adaptogenic properties that help build up the immune system make it an important cold-fighting herb. Amla is the base for Chyawanprash.
