Winter Immunity: What Your Dadi Knew All Along

By Dr. Meera Iyer, BAMS · 15 August 2026

Chyawanprash, haldi doodh, kadha and gond laddoo — the science behind India's winter rituals.

Every Indian grandmother has a winter playbook. Turns out, Ayurveda has been explaining it for 2,000 years.

Chyawanprash

A spoon a day of this Amla-based rasayana builds Ojas — the essence of immunity.

Haldi doodh

Turmeric in warm milk with a pinch of black pepper improves absorption of curcumin.

Kadha

Tulsi, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper warm the body and soothe the throat.

Seasonal eating

Winter is when Agni is strongest — the best time for nourishing foods like ghee, sesame and jaggery.
