Throat pain is the most common complaint that every patient gets. It is mostly due to inflammation in the throat (due to cough, cold, viral, covid, etc.). Turmeric is one of the most widely used spices in Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic, and healing properties. In Ayurveda, we know it by the name of 'Haridra'. It is bitter and pungent in taste and hot in nature.
Due to its warming power, it helps to reduce Vata and Kapha, while its bitter taste allows it to balance Pitta to some extent. Turmeric has been used in Ayurveda for treating colds, coughs, sore throats, wound healing, diabetes, body aches, arthritis, building immunity, reducing inflammation, and other disorders.
At the same time, in India, it has been used for cooking in almost every household. Tell that, for years, people have been using turmeric in case of colds, coughs and injuries. Turmeric also gives instant relief, especially from throat pain. After Corona, the use of turmeric has increased even more.
