With the COVID-19 epidemic spread worldwide, it is most important to take care of yourself and boost your immunity now more than ever. All the more a reason why you must consider incorporating Kadha into your daily diet.

So what exactly is Kadha?

Don’t most of us remember the warm blessing of a ginger-based concoction during a cold and cough when fever or flu put an unwelcome break to our lives? These cures are all rooted in the science of Ayurveda - ‘kadha,’ one of the oldest and most potent forms of medicine for various ailments. Kadha is prepared with medicinal herbs and spices, such as black pepper, coriander, ginger, basil, shankpushpi, Adulsa, and kalmegh. All these herbs protect and strengthen us from within, boost our immunity, and help in fighting seasonal infections.

But, a lot of turn to ‘pill’ because life as we know it leaves little time to study the books of Ayurveda. Also, preparing a kadha daily at home can be time-consuming, full of hassle, may require a lot of attention and painstakingly. Plus, sourcing the right ingredients and their availability all the time at home might not be possible. But due to a busy schedule and the COVID-19 lockdown, possibilities are that you may not find fresh herbs and spices like basil, amla, ginger at your home all the time.
