Staying Healthy During the Monsoon
Summary:
After enduring the sweltering heat of summer, the first monsoon showers are a welcome relief. However, this season often weakens our immune system, making us more vulnerable to various illnesses. To stay healthy, it's essential to boost our immunity and take preventive measures against these common monsoon ailments.
Common Monsoon Illnesses:
The monsoon season sees a rise in diseases such as malaria, jaundice, and gastrointestinal infections like typhoid and cholera. Additionally, viral infections such as colds and coughs become more prevalent.
Preventive Measures:
Mosquito-Borne Diseases:
Stagnant rainwater becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes that spread diseases like malaria and dengue. Use mosquito nets at home for protection and apply mosquito repellent cream when outside. An effective Ayurvedic method to repel mosquitoes is fumigating with dried neem leaves smoke for a couple of minutes in the evening.
Waterborne Diseases:
Contaminated drinking water is a common issue during monsoons, leading to diseases like diarrhea. Always drink boiled water at home. When out, opt for mineral water from certified companies.
Fungal Infections:
Walking in dirty water can cause fungal infections, especially for diabetics. Keep your feet clean and dry, and avoid puddles. Ensure your shoes and clothes are thoroughly dry. Ayurvedic texts recommend using smoke from loban and dry neem leaves to dry clothes and prevent fungal growth.
For Asthma Patients:
Prevent dampness and mold growth in homes with asthma sufferers. Avoid using smoke fumigation methods in their presence.
