New Delhi, December 16 (IANS). In today’s busy life, the daily routine of many people has become such that they are unable to find time for themselves. Waking up in the morning, having breakfast early, living amidst dust, smoke and pollution all day and then sleeping tired at night, all these gradually start affecting the health.
While climbing stairs, one starts feeling short of breath and feels heaviness or blockage in the throat all the time, but people ignore it considering it to be minor fatigue. When this problem becomes a daily part, anxiety starts increasing. Simple and natural solutions to all these problems have been suggested in Ayurveda for centuries.
According to Ayurveda, problems related to breath and throat increase when phlegm increases in the body and there is swelling or stiffness in the respiratory tubes. In this condition, medicines are required which balance phlegm, reduce swelling and provide relief to the throat. Due to these properties, Mulethi has been given a special place in Ayurveda. It is called Yashtimadhu in Sanskrit, i.e. a medicine which tastes sweet and which leaves a positive effect on the body.
Liquorice has been used in India since ancient times. Among grandmothers’ home remedies, the habit of giving liquorice for sore throat, dry cough or hoarseness can still be seen in many homes. Ayurveda believes that liquorice calms the internal heat of the body and provides moisture to the dry layer of the throat. The natural elements present in it help in gradually reducing the swelling accumulated in the throat and respiratory tract.
When swelling or mucus accumulates in the respiratory tract, difficulty in breathing is felt and heaviness remains in the throat. Mulethi works to remove this mucus. With its regular and limited consumption, the respiratory tract starts opening and the person feels relief in breathing. Mulethi forms a kind of protective layer on the inner layer of the throat, which reduces burning sensation and soreness.
According to Ayurveda, Mulethi helps in maintaining the entire respiratory system better. For those people who frequently suffer from cough, cold or shortness of breath during the changing weather, it is also considered helpful in strengthening the immunity of the body. Its natural ingredients work to gradually bring the body back into balance, which may reduce the chances of the problem recurring.
