While rain brings relief, this season also becomes the cause of many health problems. Viral diseases like cold and cough become common during this time. In such a situation, you can protect yourself from these diseases in this season by adopting some effective remedies of Ayurveda. Let's know.

The problem of cold and cough becomes very common during the rainy season. It is a viral infection that affects the throat, nose and chest. Its symptoms include continuous sneezing, runny or blocked nose, sore throat, headache, body ache, mild fever and sometimes fatigue. This infection spreads quickly when the body's immunity is weak.

Therefore, it is important that we keep our immunity strong and take special precautions in this season.
