One effective remedy is the creation of a Magic Potli. This involves taking a spoonful of carom seeds and three to four cloves of garlic, frying them in a pan on low flame, and then tying them in a cotton cloth.
Turmeric milk, commonly known as haldi doodh, combined with a few strands of saffron, is recommended to keep children protected from the cold. Adding a touch of jaggery (gud) for sweetness enhances both the taste and health benefits.
Soaking almonds overnight and allowing children to eat them on an empty stomach provides nutritional benefits. For added flavour, a hint of nutmeg can be introduced based on the child’s age.
Mustard oil is highlighted as a beneficial element during winter. Regularly massaging the child’s body with warm mustard oil every other day helps keep the body warm, the muscles fit and overall strengthens the body.
Another remedy involves using rock salt and homemade ghee. By blending these ingredients to form a creamy texture and applying it to the child’s chest, parents can provide additional protection against the cold.
