Winter Care Tips : Due to the changing weather and rise in air pollution, people are more prone to cough & cold, breathlessness and sore throat.

In such a situation, adopt these simple measures to take care of your throat.

Gargling

Turmeric milk  

This golden drink is also recommended by Ayurveda experts. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potential treatment for a number of health conditions including sore throat.
