Cough (Kasa in Ayurveda) and cold (Prathishyaya in Ayurveda) are common ailments encountered by the human body. Cough and cold can transpire due to change in the weather, viral infection, seasonal allergies, exposure to dust, pollen and smoke. While a cough is a reflex of the body when some alien substance drains down the back of the throat, cold happens when the membranes of the upper respiratory tract get inflamed and congested. Cough and cold lead to sneezing, running nose, headache, sore throat, chest or nasal congestion and body pain.

Cough and cold are hence viral infections that are easily transmitted. A bout of either can also result in a mild fever. For decades and many generations, people have been relying on traditional quick fixes from the Ayurvedic sciences to clear the breathing passage and fight cold and cough. One important aspect of fighting ‘kasa’ and ‘prathishyaya’ is to flush out the toxins by drinking enough hot water or herbal teas.
