New Delhi, 11 September (IANS). In Ayurveda, the throat is considered a very important part of the body, as it is not only a way to swallow food and water but is also a center of speech, breathing and communication. According to Ayurveda, the throat and vowel mechanisms are located in the throat, which are associated with the ability to speak and the flow of life energy (soul). This is why the safety and care of the throat is considered an integral part of health.
According to Ayurveda, throat vata, bile and phlegm can be affected by all three defects. If the balance of these defects deteriorates, then many problems related to the throat arise. For example, the intake of more cold or hot substances increases phlegm, causing a problem of sore throat, swelling or mucus. Similarly, excessive intake of sharp and sour substances increases bile, which can cause burning sensation in the throat. At the same time, the imbalance of Vata Dosha dry the throat, which can cause difficulty in speaking and trouble. Therefore, Ayurveda recommends special attention to the balance of defects in throat care.
Ayurveda describes simple but effective measures for throat safety and health. Gargling with lukewarm water is considered the easiest and effective remedy, as it cleanses the throat and prevents infection. A mixture of turmeric and honey reduces sore throat and swelling, as well as natural antiseptic. The decoction of basil and liquorice is considered the same nectar for the throat, as it increases immunity and strengthens the throat from within. Apart from this, household spices like ginger, cloves and black pepper are also useful in throat pain and infection. Ayurveda also states that more cold drinks, ice creams and excessive oily materials should be avoided, as they make the throat weak.
Throat care is not only limited to medicines or prescriptions, but the balance of lifestyle also plays an important role in it. Activities like pranayama and meditation are helpful in keeping the throat and vowel system healthy. Pranayama strengthens the breathing system and increases the clarity of speech. Regular yoga exercises improve blood circulation in the throat and it keeps the health of the throat for a long time. Apart from this, adequate sleep, balanced diet and stress -free lifestyle are also necessary for throat health.
