5 Healthy Home Remedies for this Winter

Post author By Parul Garg
Post date January 27, 2023
No Comments on 5 Healthy Home Remedies for this Winter

Winters ring with joy and celebrations every year. Children learn a lot during this time of year because they are so interested in the weather.

Though joy is the key to making winters more enjoyable, catching colds makes it a little tedious and irritable for parents. So far, nothing beats cozy, fun-filled evenings so far if immunity is kept in check.

So, no matter if it is about improving immunity or treating common flu or health issues among kids, winter home remedies or recipes can do wonders.

Let’s see how some of these work on the given problems or weak areas:

In This Article

Sore Throat

Sore throats are the most common winter complaint, and they are caused by bacteria and dry weather. It can be unpleasant due to irritation and itchiness. The worst ones can sometimes cause pain while swallowing food. For decades, gargles have been the best solution for this problem.

Turmeric and Salt Water Gargle—a great winter home remedy!

During the winter season, sore throat is a very common problem, especially for children. The best way to treat a sore throat is to gargle with turmeric and salt.

Ingredients:

Take 250-300 ml
1 tbsp of Turmeric
½ tbsp of Salt

Method
Boil the ingredients in water for five minutes. Once lukewarm, gargle with it three to four times.

TIP: If your child is too small to gargle, you can simply boil half a tablespoon of cinnamon powder or a small cinnamon stick in water for 5 minutes, strain, and keep it aside to be lukewarm. Add some honey and let your kid drink it or be spoonfed it.

Cold and Cough

Cold and cough is another painful set of flu issues that children commonly catch despite taking numerous precautions, most likely due to their less-developed immune systems. Even though it’s not a good idea to take medicine too often, most seasonal illnesses can be treated at home with simple, effective remedies that don’t have any side effects.

Honey Ginger Cough Syrup – Known As a Magic Potion!

Ginger is not just a great herb; it tastes amazing. This syrup is easy to prepare and holds good shelf life if compared to other natural cold remedies, and can be used daily to fight issues like cold and cough.

Ingredients:

1 large piece of Ginger
4-5 tbsp – Honey

Method
Squeeze the grated ginger to extract the juice and store it in an airtight container. Then add honey to make it less spicy (the real ginger pepper taste) and it’s ready to take three-four times a day.

It tastes like sweet-spicy candy your kid will love it.

Common Flu

All the minor cold weather problems lead to the common flu which may include fever, fatigue, body aches, and headaches. Because of the reduced immune response, you are more likely to become ill during the season.

Pumpkin Soup- Natural Immunity Booster!

During the flu season, children suffer from nasal congestion, high fever, and fatigue. Giving medicine is one possible way to control the situation (if unmanageable). However, natural home remedies are always a relief if given at the time the problem starts. Sometimes, these remedies work well with medicines and soothe throat irritation.

Trying winter home remedies would be the best way to start with. As a result, pumpkins are recommended to boost immunity and aid in rapid recovery.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion sliced
2 cloves garlic
2 cups pumpkin, sliced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp crushed pepper
2 cup water

Method
Saute 1 finely sliced onion, 2 cloves, garlic in olive oil. Add pumpkin, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper until it changes color (slightly). Further, add 2 cups of water and cook. Blend to make a smooth paste.

Serve hot pumpkin soup sprinkled with black pepper.

Head Achs

When we have a headache, it is extremely appealing to reach for painkillers. However, those painkillers can worsen the health condition of children, trapping you in a vicious circle in which you can feel helpless. These headaches are often caused by chilly air and cold weather where herbal tea can do the spell working.

Coriander Seed Tea – Master of natural cold remedies!

A cup of hot coriander tea may help you to relieve a headache. This remedy is especially effective in the case of cold and flu-related headaches because both help soothe triggered blood vessels in the head.

Ingredients:

2 tsp of whole coriander seeds
1½ cup water
4 tsp Honey

Method
Boil crushed coriander seeds in water for 15 minutes, until the water is reduced by half. Add honey and drink it warm.

Golden point – this method relieves almost any type of headache. 🙂

Stomach flu

Stomach flu is mainly a viral intestinal infection and is caused by norovirus. One of the ways to diagnose stomach flu is that a kid may have watery diarrhea, vomiting, mild fever, and pain in the abdomen continuously for a few days. It can last from 2 days to even a week. Hence, it is important to take special care of the kids during winter.

Banana – “safe food”!

A banana can help like magic to cure the stomach flu. Consuming bananas can prevent dehydration. The fibre content of this yellow fruit also contributes to hardening the stool’s volume by absorbing extra liquid in the intestines and to better bowel movements.

Ingredients:

1 Banana
2 tsp Honey

Method
Slice the banana in small bites and add a little honey to it and it’s ready to make your child healthy again.

Booster Red lentils – When your baby has diarrhoea, he will refuse to eat anything. But he needs to keep his energy levels up, and red lentils can do that.

Best for your infants
Just go by the sensitivity of the situation, when it is about breastfeeding your infant. If you feel like things are under your control; breast milk is a tried-and-true home cure for your child’s illness. Because breast milk has a large number of antibodies, it helps in speeding up your baby’s recovery.

Is It Time to Consult a Doctor

The winter home remedies given above are aimed to treat symptoms rather than the infection.

However, if your child still not feeling better after 2 to 3 days, begins to feel worse, or develops serious symptoms such as persistent high fever, shortness of breath, or extreme weakness and lightheadedness, seek medical attention immediately while using the natural cold remedies as an immune booster.

Finding the right solution to your baby or toddler or kid totally based on mother instinct but surely natural cold remedies brings more help within home. Also, letting them eat healthy food and rest can surely help in keeping these diseases far away.

No Comments on 11 Awe-Inspiring Books To Read When You’re Pregnant

The weeks before you give birth are full of tension, and finding good books to read for baby brain development during pregnancy and baby’s well being can be exhausting. It’s an exciting but difficult time of what-ifs, worry, and planning. Millions of other parents-to-be have felt the same way you are, so you don’t need to worry. Some of them have even put those problems and delights into good books, including fantastic novels, for those of us who are self-help damaging.

When you are pregnant, you get a lot of free or unsolicited advice such as what is the right food for baby’s brain development in pregnancy and so on. You will get that advice from your family members, and even if you google something, chances are the information provided is not as per your preference most of the times. Books will tell you what to eat for baby’s brain development during pregnancy but not what to avoid. They will tell you why you should have a home birth, but not why you shouldn’t have a home birth. Hence it is very important to carefully choose the information you consume during pregnancy.

Studies show that women improvises creativity levels after giving birth. Instead of picking a book that will lecture you on how to change diapers or get you to buy a $1,000 stroller, look for enlightening books that will help you manage and enhance your life, even when chaos reigns.

In every genre and style, there are a plethora of excellent novels written by mothers. Allow their intriguing stories to welcome you into the ranks of motherhood. Without further ado, the list of books to read during pregnancy.

7 Reminders for Winter 2022

No Comments on 7 Reminders for Winter 2022

India is endowed with diversity in every way! Whether in terms of religions or seasons, it is what makes it so beautiful and exciting. Gather your cooped-up winter accessories and put on those layers.

Whether we want it to or not, winter is upon us and will last until February. We must take the same care to stay warm in the winter months as in the summer.

Adults have greater immunity and, therefore, can endure colds more easily than children. Throughout this season, children are more prone to colds and viral infections.

Common cold and flu-like symptoms include sneezing, hacking, sniffing, and coughing. To keep your child from getting sick, you should take a few precautions.

As part of these preparations, you should do more than just wear extra thermals. You should also make some permanent changes to your lifestyle to avoid problems during the winter.

As a mother, we are always concerned about what adjustments we need to make in our lifestyle to go hand in hand with season change for our children.

Here is a list of things and some extras that our children need to keep them safe from harsh winters, especially after COVID-19 and other diseases that could be hiding in the environment.

Keep Your Child’s Skin Safe

Cold weather and low humidity can dehydrate the skin. Encourage kids to take a warm (not hot) bath every other day for five to ten minutes to soak up as much moisture as they can.

Rather than bubble baths and perfumed soaps, use moderate cleansers. If your child’s skin is particularly dry or sensitive, mix in some Soothing Bath Treatment.

Remember to Stay Hydrated

Kids work up a sweat when playing in all that gear, so make sure they take a water break every two hours and help them rehydrate and refuel when they come inside.

Water is usually the best option, but if you want to spice things up, serve it heated with mint, lemon, apples, oranges, or berries. Put it in a thermos so they can drink it outside.

Herbal teas aren’t exclusively for the elderly. Children like to drink chamomile, ginger, or golden milk tea, which is made with warming spices like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper.

Make a new hot chocolate with half a cup of warm water. Add one or maybe more extras, such as honey, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, or small marshmallows.

Flu Vaccination

Getting vaccinated is essential, especially in this day and age when new viral illnesses pop up every day.

For kids, it’s better to be cautious than sorry. Get them a flu shot to keep them from becoming sick.

Although immunization cannot cure the cold virus, it can lessen the chances of getting the flu.

Increase your eczema treatment

Once or twice a day, and after a bath, apply a neutral moisturiser. Moisturizing lotion ointments are the most effective against eczema.

Wool and other scratchy shirts and sweaters should be avoided.

Wash hands frequently

The most contagious sites for the virus to spread are the hands. So, it’s important for kids to wash their hands often to avoid getting colds and other infections.

Another key aspect is that in cold weather, children tend to avoid water and washing their hands because it is cold, but they also touch too many objects.

As a result, it is critical that kids clean their hands regularly so that they will not develop a cold.

Alcohol-based hand sanitiser

Standard hand sanitisers are incapable of completely eliminating germs. It is critical to utilize alcohol-based hand sanitisers that give superior protection.

This is also useful because there are instances when you cannot wash your hands or soap is not available, so it becomes necessary to avoid to prevent from the cold during the winter season.

Put a tiny bottle of hand sanitiser in your child’s bag as well, and make sure it’s gel-based. Gel-based sanitisers may be safer for youngsters to use because they do not splash into sensitive parts like the eyes.

Consider using a humidifier

Using a humidifier, especially in your child’s room, can make the dryness less noticeable. Do not position the humidifier near or directly over your child for safety concerns.

These were some essentials. Now here are some practised pointers. Trust me, they still work wonders.

Moisturize right away

As soon as your child gets out of the tub, wipe their skin lightly with just a towel to keep it damp, and then apply a cream-based moisturizer.

Dryness makes people irritated and licks their lips, but the chemicals and germs in saliva irritate the skin. Spread petroleum jelly or something like Aquaphor that doesn’t have a smell all over your child’s mouth. Avoid flavoured balms, which are pleasant and can encourage children to lick more.

Keep those chubby cheeks safe

Before going outside, put petroleum jelly or a moisturizer on any exposed parts of your face to keep them from getting chapped. Apply it under masks as well; inhaling can cause the skin to get moist and chafed.

Keep your hands dry

Wet mittens dry the skin, and if they’re also cold, this can result in cracked fingers. Change gloves as needed, then apply moisturizers as soon as possible.

Winter can be enjoyable for your child if they spend their time in a healthy and productive manner. So, turn those dreary winter days into an opportunity for your child to explore the natural world.

Encourage the youngster by providing various enjoyable and safe indoor and outdoor activities. Also, ensure that you follow each of the above guidelines to improve your child’s general health and keep him/her active and lively during the winter months.

Sargi is a lavish food thali traditionally offered by your mother-in-law early in the morning. Other things are also consumed during the nirjala fasting to satisfy the thirst and appetite throughout the day.

Sargi thali also includes fresh fruits and citrus fruits such as grapes, avocados, watermelons, peaches, and pomegranates, which keep the body hydrated. These fruits can be eaten with yoghurt.

When they see the moon in the sky, all fasting ladies complete their daylong fast. The fast is frequently broken in the presence of their husbands, making it a ceremonial affair.

Women begin the fast by lighting an earthen lamp, or Diya, and filling a container with water. These objects are placed on a traditional puja thali and brought to a location where people can see the moon, which is typically an open terrace or balcony.

The husband stands in front of his wife, and the moon is seen through a fine sieve by the woman. Following that, water is offered to the moon, and the wife stares at her husband through a sieve.

A prayer for the husband’s long and healthy lifespan follows this ritual, and then the husband serves his wife her first bite of food or a sip of water, thus completing the fast.

Now that you’ve read the Karwa Chauth instructions, make this festival one to remember by fasting for the love of your life with zeal and grace!

Happy Karwa Chauth!

Navratri Days – Navaratri Meaning and History

Navratri meaning is ‘nine nights devoted to the Divine Mother, or Shakti.” This celebration is held between the 1st and 9th tithi. Throughout most regions of India, the Navratri fast lasts for nine days. Navratri is a cultural festival of the feminine as the conqueror of evil, symbolised by the legendary battle between the demon Mahishasura and the warrior goddess Durga.

According to legend, Mahishasura, the demon, worshipped Lord Shiva and gained eternal power. So he began killing and harassing innocent people to gain seven lokas.

All the gods of Swargaloka begged Lord Shiva to subdue the demon, fearful of his power. Then Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwar (Shiva) combined their supreme energies to form Shakti, or Durga, the Warrior Goddess. When Mahishasura witnessed the beauty of the goddess Durga, he was captivated by her beauty and approached her with the goal of marrying her.

Goddess Durga agreed to marry him on the condition that he defeated her in a duel. Mahishasura, who was conceited about his might, accepted combat.

The combat lasted nine nights, and at the end of the ninth night, Goddess Durga beheaded Mahishasura. As a result, the nine nights for which the war was waged are the reason Why is Navratri Celebrated.

Navaratri meaning in scientific terms, is a period when everything in the world slows down, including the body, which enters a state of lethargy when the weather changes with the arrival of summer.

Fasting During Navratri Days

Previously, people would meditate during the fasting period – there was no action. However, people increasingly engage in a variety of activities such as working, learning, travelling, and so on; housewives should recognise that they, too, are working. These activities necessitate the consumption of appropriate nutrition.

Fasting and working hand in hand can result in dehydration, weariness, weakness, and stomach problems. So they should take care of their diet during these nine holy days and follow a healthy diet.

However, if done right, Fasting during this time helps boost immunity by flushing out any toxins that have accumulated if done in a healthy way.

Replacing heavy grains with sattvic foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables provides energy and equilibrium to the system is another way to do it.

On the final two days, when the fast is broken, nine small girls and a young boy (named “Kanjak Pujan”) are worshipped as the divine images of the goddess.

Maa Kushmanda

Maa Kalaratri

On Saptami, Kalaratri, the most furious manifestation of Goddess Durga, is honoured. Parvati is said to have shed her fair skin in order to kill the demons Sumbha and Nisumbha.
