Cough & Cold
Seasonal coughs, blocked noses and the heaviness that comes with them. Ayurveda reads most of these as Kapha accumulating in the chest and sinuses, often with weakened Agni behind it — which is why the usual approach is warming, drying and light rather than rich or cooling. What helps is usually a combination: something warm to drink, steam to shift what has settled, and a lighter diet while it clears.
