Dimple Jangda's Favorite Remedies for Sinus, Cold, and Allergies

If you often get colds, coughs, sinus problems, or allergies, you may have a Kapha imbalance in Ayurveda. This imbalance is characterized by an accumulation of earth and water components, which provides the body with active water, water retention, and indigestible chemicals, creating an excellent environment for allergies to emerge. Dimple Jangda, a health expert, provided some easy techniques to help reduce your sinus and allergy symptoms.

1. Stay hydrated

• Drink warm water throughout the day to prevent constipation.

2. Steam Inhalation

• Face Steamer: Fill with water and add a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
• How to use: Cover your head with a towel and inhale the warm water. Eucalyptus oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties that can reduce cold symptoms and respiratory problems.
• Tip: Apply drops of eucalyptus oil to your forehead, back, and behind your ears before bedtime (avoid applying it to your face, as it irritates your skin).

3. Honey-Ginger Concoction

• Recipe: Combine 1 tablespoon raw organic honey with ½ teaspoon ground ginger, a sprinkle of black pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon.
• Dosage: Take this combination twice a day. Do not heat honey; it is dangerous.
• Benefits: Honey is high in antioxidants and has anti-allergic effects, which assist in cleansing the nasal passages. Turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties, while black pepper raises body temperature and removes free radicals.

Additional Tips:

Dietary Choices:

• Add sweet spices like pepper, mustard, ginger, cloves, and cayenne to your meals.
• Choose light fruits like apples, pears, watermelons, pomegranates, apricots, and cranberries.
• To minimize water retention, eat a warm soup with minimal flavoring and salt.
• If you drink milk, consider low-fat varieties and add a sprinkle of turmeric and grated ginger to relieve chest congestion.
