A glass of warm water with a teaspoon of salt stirred well for gargle in the morning, soothes our throat and helps reduce the flu.

2. a. Pepper Rasam (A thin, spicy southern Indian soup) :

Take a spoonful of black pepper balls + jeera (Cumin seeds) + Dhaniya (Coriander seeds) each,
Few curry leaves, 5 cloves of garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of Toor dal. Blend these ingredients to a coarse powder. Boil the 1/2 cup of tamarind without the pulp along with a small tomato. Add the coarse powder and salt to it. Stir well and top it with ghee. A hot, spicy soothing Rasam is ready within minutes!!

b. Pepper Idli Podi (Steamed Rice Cake Pepper Powder) :



Morning Breakfasts start with Idli or Dosa in most of the homes. If it tends to be dull with bad cold just have these with the best, quick and healthy podi.

Camphor works as a stimulant and works as a decongestant while coconut oil contains fatty acids with powerful medicinal properties. This acts as a natural therapy for treating severe cold.

5.  Turmeric Milk : 

Boil milk with a small teaspoon of tumeric, few smashed black pepper balls/ black pepper powder and a teaspoon of honey / bits of Panankalkandu (Palm Jaggery Crystals) instead of sugar ; stir well and drink before going to bed. Turmeric acts as the antioxidant while pepper and honey helps reducing the cold.
