Some of these spices are good to be administered to children as well, which I do follow as a mum to twins.

In most cases, it is always recommended to turn to natural remedies to cure minor ailments. Since time immemorial Ayurveda has recommended the use of plants and herbs to cure all kinds of ailments. Our generation isn’t the patient kind; we would rather pop that pill to suppress the headache than brew a healing Kashaya or a tea to feel better.
