Read moreViral fevers and infections have become more and more common nowadays. A simple change in climate and a rise in temperature can be the very cause of viral fever. These infections are mostly triggered by airborne infections that we get from an infected person.
Viral infections can have symptoms such as cold, cough, flu, mild fever, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, etc.
There are many ways that you can contact a viral fever-
According to Ayurveda, all individuals have three Doshas in their body i.e- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Any imbalance in the three Doshas of the body can cause illnesses.
Fever in Ayurveda is termed as Jwara Roga. This is mainly caused due to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha Doshas. An imbalance in Kapha can cause cold symptoms and excess of Vata often reduces the digestive fire causing chills, fatigue, weak digestion and body pains.
Every disease starts from Ama (Digestive Toxin) which leads to an imbalance of Dhatus (Bodily Tissues). This weakens the primordial immunity of our body (Ojas) and our body becomes more and more prone to infections and allergies.
So, Ayurveda aims at balancing the Agni (Digestive Fire) and Doshas in the body to protect our bodies from viral infections and fever.
Vata Fevers- These usually arrive in the monsoon season and can cause racing pulse, great thirst, body aches and pains, and fluctuating body temperatures. The diet includes a lot of water and warm soups. Make a decoction of Sudarshan churan and Guduchi.
Pitta Fevers-Pitta fever is caused due to an aggravated Pitta Dosha. These have symptoms such as a burning forehead, high fever, bad-smelling sweat, loose motions and nausea. It is recommended to take fruits such as musk melon, sweet lime (mausumbi) and drink lemon water with sugar. Make decoctions of kutki and chandanadi.
Kapha Fevers-These are caused due to an imbalance in the Kapha Dosha. It can cause blocked sinuses, heaviness and congestion. To relieve the upper respiratory system, it is recommended to drink lots of warm water and fluids, take kadha made from tulsi, ginger, pepper and avoid Kapha aggravating foods such as curd, ghee etc.
Herbal Tulsi Kadha for viral fever Tulsi kadha is a natural immunity booster and has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to support respiratory immunity. This Kadha can also relieve symptoms of viral fever, soothes sore throat and reduces cough. Tulsi has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties that will fight off infections and reduce viral fever. It rehydrates the body during a viral fever and reduces inflammation in the body.
Dried ginger powder Ginger can also help in viral infections as it helps in reducing inflammation in the body.
Diet Ayurveda recommends that your overall diet during a viral fever should be light, easy to digest, and full of fluids. You can also add spices like cumin, pepper, cinnamon etc as these can relieve symptoms of viral fever like coughing, vomiting, cold, and congestion.
CoroFight Combo is a combination of Giloy Ghan Vati, Ayush Kwath, Anu Taila and Prandhara. This is a carefully crafted combo of four powerful Ayurvedic formulations that balances the three Doshas in the body and raises the immunity of a person.
Giloy not only improves immunity but also helps in balancing all three Doshas, seven Dhatus, helps in releasing toxins (AMA) from our body and is an immunomodulator. It is a very good antipyretic herb that majorly balances the Pitta dosha. Giloy Ghan Vati is beneficial in all types of fevers, gout, burning sensation, headache, body ache, loss of appetite and indigestion. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help protect the body from various microbes.
This Ayurvedic Kadha is a must-have when you are suffering from viral fever. Ayush Kwath is made from potent ingredients that are antipyretic, anti-viral, immunity-boosting and Vata-Kapha pacifying. Ayush Kwath aids the body in eliminating any cough from the lungs, soothing a sore throat and raising overall immunity.
Anu Taila contains 8 Vata-Kapha pacifying herbs that help remove cough and strengthen the nasal membrane to protect it against bacterial and viral invasions. This oil supports respiratory immunity, lubricates the nasal passage and removes congestion.
Prandhara Oil aids in protecting against harmful bacteria, viruses and allergens that try to invade the body through the nasal passage. Daily steam inhalation by adding a few drops of Prandhara oil can help remove toxins, strengthen the nasal membrane and reduce cough formation.
Viral fever and infection can lower your immunity and weaken your body considerably. These simple ayurvedic tips can help you recover faster. Trying out Ayurvedic herbs and formulations can help balance the Doshas in the body and improve your innate immunity for the long term.

Read moreAre you struggling with your oral health because of your eating habits? Are toothaches becoming your new normal because you have not been brushing well? Is eating ice cream a big NO, as you have brushed a little too much? A lot of you have been made to believe that your oral issues emanate from what you are doing wrong or not doing the right thing. What if we tell you that you have been approaching this all wrong and trying to solve the problems topically instead of addressing the root cause? Do you ever think about the real reason for these significant dental issues?
Ayurveda helps you focus on the fundamentals and identify the root cause. It is the science of treating the underlying imbalances and correcting the cause in a completely natural and effective way. Among its numerous health benefits, when it comes to oral health, Ayurvedic Toothpaste is a game-changer for preserving strong and healthy teeth. A natural and effective alternative to the chemical-laden equivalents and a beneficial synergy of herbs that help in holistic dental care. Surprising, right!? Well, read on to turn your surprise into a new belief!
नित्यमध्मान तां तांस्तु व्याधिभिश्च विवर्जितः।
रसैश्च दन्तमूलानां रूक्षैराचाम्य विक्रियाम्॥
Meaning: Regularly cleaning your mouth makes your teeth and gums healthy and prevents diseases.
The Charaka Samhita mentions the importance of oral care in overall health. This is more than just information from ancient scriptures; much research has validated the role of a healthy mouth in a healthy body. A 2022 study in Frontiers of Microbiology highlighted this critical link: an imbalance in the oral microbiome causes periodontal disease and promotes cardiovascular disease development.
Wondering how? Saliva is the first fluid that is secreted during digestion. It lubricates the tongue and oral cavity and ensures that the whole digestive tract stays lubricated, along with the chewed food passed down to the stomach. It carries all microbes into your gut and is the most crucial link between oral and overall health
Saliva also contains some antimicrobial proteins and enzymes that keep harmful microorganisms from growing while ensuring the good ones thrive. However, any saliva production or composition imbalance can affect the oral microbiota. This could be due to poor oral hygiene, an unhealthy diet, or systemic health issues.
This imbalance can have dire consequences for oral health, such as dental caries, gum issues, and infections. Moreover, balanced saliva helps lubricate and break down food for easy digestion and ensures that teeth get essential minerals to maintain and repair themselves.
Dantadhaawan is an ancient Ayurvedic oral hygiene practice that involves using herbal twigs, AKA ‘‘Datoon’’, to clean teeth and gums. Commonly used twigs include those from the neem, babool, and liquorice plants. These twigs have antimicrobial properties that help maintain oral hygiene.
According to the Shadrasa (six tastes) in Ayurveda, every herb has a Rasa (dominant taste) that determines its properties and actions.
An ideal toothpaste must contain Katu, Tikta, Kashaya, and Madhura Rasa, each of which positively impacts maintaining the health of our oral cavity.
Let’s uncover the properties of these essential Rasas to know more:
Rasa |
Action |
Katu (Pungent) |
It deeply cleanses the oral cavity |
Tikta (Bitter) |
Antibacterial & antiseptic action |
Kashaya (Astringent) |
Provides pain relief |
Madhura (Sweet) |
Strengthens the gums & teeth |
You see, an Ayurvedic toothpaste not only cleanses your teeth but also gives Bala (strength) through the properties of the natural Dravyas (herbs) used in it.
It may sound complex, but formulating toothpaste at home is as easy as making a face pack! All you need is 10 grams of dry leaves or powders of neem, mulethi, jamun, and amalaki. Grind or mix them, and your dry toothpaste powder is ready! During every brushing session (preferably morning and evening), mix it with your *Dosha-appropriate adjuvants. Vata *Dosha* can mix sesame oil, Pitta *Dosha* can mix ghee, and Kapha *Dosha* can mix honey/mustard oil, and your quick, healthy toothpaste is ready!

It is your one-stop solution to all your oral problems. It’s a unique formulation that works on your saliva and is suitable for all body types, irrespective of the Doshic predominance.
