Everyone you know may be susceptible to seasonal health issues and may currently have a cold or a cough as a result of the weather. This can occasionally be accompanied by the flu or a fever. In these situations, home remedies can be helpful. Are you familiar with mulethi? And are you aware that this herb can significantly aid in your ability to treat seasonal cough and cold symptoms?

This herb is commonly used in many Indian households to cure common ailments.
