She explained that colds and coughs are rampant during the monsoon due to the humid and cold weather. “In addition to this, outbreaks of numerous diseases, including those transmitted by mosquitoes, also rise as soon as it starts to rain. In this situation, where Covid is still not over, you should be ready to combat these infections in advance,” she added, sharing a recipe for a simple and beneficial kadha that will keep these diseases at bay.
