If there’s one thing that we have learned to value more than anything in the past year, it is has to be our immunity. Simply put, immunity is your body’s natural defense system to fight diseases and disease-causing agents like virus, bacteria and fungus. The Covid 19 pandemic has made us rethink and revaluate a lot of things that we have taken for granted so far. It literally stalled our movement; we fear stepping out without a mask and a sanitizer. Crowds and gatherings instill a crippling sense of anxiety among us. Turns out, it is okay to be a little fearful as long as it is making you a little cautious by the end of the day and you are preventing this deadly virus from entering your house. Thankfully, there are multiple vaccines available to fight the virus- but that does not mean you stop working on your health and immunity. This is not the time to relax but to be relentless. Now we aren’t suggesting you start popping pills without supervision of experts, but there are many natural ways in which you can boost your immunity.
Immunity-Boosting Properties of Neem And Giloy
Both Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) have been two of India’s most prized herbs since time immemorial. Slowly, the world is also waking up to its miraculous health and beauty benefits. Neem leaves are replete with antimicrobial properties. Giloy too, on the other hand, is known for its antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties and anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidants present in both fight disease-causing free radical activity.
This Kadha is also very beneficial for diabetics who have contracted COVID. Since during the infection, the blood sugar levels tend to fluctuate, this kadha will help regulating it. And since it is low in calories, you need not worry about the weight-gain.
How To Make Neem Giloy Kaddha
- 2 Giloy roots
- 6-7 Neem Leaves
- 2 glasses of water
Method:
1. Add all ingredients in a pot and bring it to a boil.
2. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
