Especially during the cold winter months, the human body is increasingly occupied with defending against illnesses. Ayurvedic teachings offer excellent ways to treat and prevent colds. In this article, you will learn how Ayurveda helps with a cold<\/strong>, as well as 10 tips for sore throats & more. <\/p>\n\n

Causes of Colds from an Ayurvedic Perspective<\/h2>\n\n

Around half of all people in Germany suffer from a cold once a year<\/strong>. This usually comes with symptoms such as coughing, fatigue, or a scratchy throat. The cold months, in particular, are known for an increased incidence of such infections. <\/p>\n\n

While general practitioners often prescribe fever reducers, pain relievers, or expectorants, Ayurveda offers a natural alternative for relief<\/strong>. Ayurvedic teachings<\/a> view the individual as a whole and adopt a holistic treatment approach. This involves both treating the cold and sustainably preventing it by strengthening your immune system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

\"Causes<\/figure>\n\n

In winter, the three bioenergies Vata<\/a>, Pitta<\/a>, and Kapha must rebalance. The digestive fire (Agni<\/a>) also needs more energy to cope with challenging conditions. The wet and cold weather poses a challenge to your physical and mental strength<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Ayurvedic teachings attribute the causes of a cold<\/strong> primarily to disturbed digestion, an improper diet and lifestyle, and excessive stress. These factors lead to the accumulation of toxins in the metabolism, known as Ama, which weakens your body. A weakened immune system is more susceptible to colds. <\/p>\n\n

The winter months bring about the cold qualities of Vata and Kapha, making you more susceptible to fatigue, sluggishness, or depression. Physical ailments such as respiratory illnesses or a cold can also be a consequence. With targeted Ayurvedic applications, you can regain your balance. <\/p>\n\n

Causes of Colds: Imbalance of Doshas<\/h3>\n\n

The word \u201ccold\u201d is not without reason derived from \u201ccold\u201d: Vata and Kapha are promoted by all cold qualities of the climate. Your diet also plays an important role in regulating the doshas<\/strong> and the onset of colds. <\/p>\n\n

In Ayurveda, different key symptoms<\/strong> are assigned to the various clinical pictures of a cold. Runny nose (Pratishyaya), cough (Kasa), or shortness of breath (Shvasa) can usually be attributed to an accumulation of too much Vata and Kapha. <\/p>\n\n
