Hair and Skin Health 

  • Rain water is acidic in nature that can be harmful for your skin and hair. So, avoid this and make it a point to bathe after getting wet in the rains.
  • Monsoons come with immense hair loss and skin irritation. Try oiling your hair at least twice a week and wash it with a mild shampoo using normal to cold water. A cleansing, toning and moisturising regime for your skin will help it breathe and stay hydrated.

Eat Right

  • Stay well hydrated in the monsoon. Also, have cooled boiled water to kill micro-organisms and other impurities.
  • A Good immune system is akin to a vaccination for the body. To increase your immunity and disease resistance, try adding ginger and garlic to your food.
  • Although those samosas and misal at the street vendor might seem super tempting, try avoiding pre-prepared bulk food / raw food this season

The Do’s

  • Nourish your body with vitamins and proteins by increasing your veggetable, nuts and cereal intake.
  • You never know when the BRT cum Fighter-Plane pilots splash muddy water on you. So be cautious and avoid wearing light coloured clothes.
  • Keep your house clean and disinfected. Make sure there are no leakages or brimming bins that acts as breeding ground for germs and pests.

Handy Hints

  • Boil water with Basil, Ginger and Honey to treat viral fever.
  • Freshly prepared radish juice is a good remedy for cold.
  • Use insect repellents and disinfectants to keep mosquitoes and flies at bay.
  • Keep your footwear and feet dry to avoid fungal infections.
  • Apply aloe vera gel to reduce rashes and scaling of skin caused by humidity.
