Shunti Kashaya is a soothing drink which can be had during cold, cough, flu and body pain. My dad takes this three times a day for 3 days whenever he gets cold, cough and flu or any one of these. It works wonders for him. Even I don’t prefer going to doctor for common colds and body aches. But however in case of viral fever I take this Kashaya along with the medicines prescribed by doctor. It’s so soothing for the throat and also reduces the body pain.

Note:

*This kashaya can be prepared in more quantity (quantity required for whole day) and stored. Just heat the required amount of kashaya. Add honey and lemon and serve it.

* Don’t heat after adding honey and lemon.

*I prefer chopping ginger than grating it. Grating ginger makes the kashaya stronger.

  8. Growing up in Canada, we always had lemon and honey to sooth our sore throats. I’ve started using more ginger as an adult for its healing properties but it makes good sense to combine them all. Thanks for posting this!
