Common Cold/Flu

Care At Every Step!

Common cold/flu is an infectious viral disease that affects the upper respiratory tract, which primarily includes nose and throat. The patients usually get cured on their own in about a week. It mainly spreads by means of droplet infection and the best possible prevention is to wear facemasks especially traveling in crowded places or in the unclean areas. The medicines for common cold are prescribed as asymptomatic line of treatment.

 

Ayurvedic Description Of Common Cold/Flu:

The common cold is called Pratishyaya in Ayurveda. All the three doshas are responsible for the occurrence of common cold. The common cold with dominance of Vata dosha have dry coughs, little mucus discharge, hoarse voice, and runny nose. The patients with the dominance of Pitta dosha in common cold have fever, sore throat, yellowish nasal discharge and continuous blockage of the nose. The patients with vitiated Kapha dosha in common cold have thick mucus discharges with dull headaches and heaviness of the head. The people who have Pitta-Kaphaj nature are more susceptible to common cold and flu.

Self Care Tips

  • Stay at home and take rest, especially if the common cold is accompanied with fever.
  • Strictly avoid smoking as it makes cold symptoms worse; also avoid taking alcohol.
  • Drink warm water sip by sip as it relieves the pain from sore throat.
  • Gargle with warm salt-water after making a decoction with basil and tea, it should be done 3-4 times a day to get relief.
  • Use saline (salt water) nasal drops to help loosen mucus and moisten the tender skin of the nose.
  • Keep washing hands, cover mouth and nose while sneezing/cough in order to not to spread the virus around.
  • Take 3 whole clove buds and pop them in mouth during a coughing spasm.  Suck on them until they begin to fall apart and no longer have any flavor. Repeat as much as needed.

Ayurvedic medicines are really effective in common cold and they do not cause any sedation like anti allergic medicines. The treatment also does not have any adverse effect on body.

  • With intense gratitude, i am writing these words for 'AAS Ayurveda' that saved me from undergoing an unavoidable surgery. In May 2015, i was diagnosed with a mobile calculus of 7mm in my gall bladder. I was asked to undergo gall bladder surgery by the physician who advised me for the ultrasound. It was around that time, i approached 'AAS Ayurveda' if they have some cure for this as i have read somewhere that these stones can be removed with some Ayurvedic medicines and special diet plans. I was given a dietary regimen along with a prescription of herbal medications which i was advised to follow for the next 10 days. Following this 10 days protocol period designed for me, I was asked to undergo for the ultrasound again. To my great surprise, the stone in my gall bladder was not there anymore. It was flushed away. I express my heartfelt thanks to the ever approachable and empathetic team of 'AAS Ayurveda' for saving me from a surgery and most importantly; an organ of my body.

  • I took detoxification and overweight management plan from AAS Ayurveda, It was just awesomly cherishing, and something I would call ineffable experience for me to put in the words here. I have never felt so light and yet so full. The plan was suitability customised for me so that I will not feel hungry anytime during my day at office. Dr. Bhupesh Vashisht has been very kind and supportive through out this time. He has guided me well about all the details of the plan, my body constitutions, requirements of body. He also helped me to get over of so many myths I was carrying about diet and weight loss. I have lost around 3.5 kgs in 10 days and surprisingly did not give up food at all. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude towards the team of Aas Ayurveda and wishing them all the very best for their future endeavors of guiding people towards a healthy journey.

  • The best thing about AAS Ayurveda is their committment towards their patients. They are always easily approachble and engage deeply with their patients. I would like to thank AAS and their doctors for helping me with a treatment to beat the condition of acne. Actually I had been suffering from acne and pimples on my face from last few years and took lot of allopathic treatment but nothing worked. I got to know about AAS through one of my friend and contacted them. The treatment from AAS Ayurveda really helped me to get rid of acne which I thought once was not possible for me. I see them in great regards for the wonderful services they are providing to their patients.

  • My tedious and tiring working schedule of my job and meetings was keeping me away even from my daily water intake which I only observed when I was asked to submit a detailed case registration form by the team of AAS Ayurveda. I was following a very bad life style with no focus on my dietary habits though I always thought I have been taking healthy food but seldom I noticed it about its nutritious values. Here, AAS came to my help that helped me to manage my diet, work and even exercising schdule. I got the problem of GERD and acidity for which I started to take anta-acids at my own that provided me some initial relief but not after some days. AAS Ayurveda planned my treatment and dietary regimen along with my daily workout schedule. The plan was very detailed and elaborative that showed its results only in 10 days. A big thanks to the entire team of AAS Ayurveda.
