Ayurveda advises minimizing processed and microwaved foods, as they lack prana (life energy). Instead, consume freshly prepared, warm meals cooked using traditional methods. Use clay, iron, or copper vessels to enhance food quality and ensure better digestion.

Flu or cold symptoms indicate an imbalance in the body’s doshas. According to Ayurveda, consuming turmeric milk (golden milk) with a pinch of black pepper can reduce symptoms. Additionally, steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil and gargling with warm salt water help clear nasal passages and throat infections.
