Those living in Delhi are constantly inhaling impure air due to vehicular pollution. But the air quality worsens during November. However, a few simple home remedies can minimise the ill-effects, says ROSHANI DEVI
Those living in Delhi are well-aware of the ill-effects of living with poor Air Quality Index. During this time several things combine together to make the air poisonous. But a few simple home remedies can help reduce the ill-effects.
Here’s what one can do:
We all know the benefits of neem when it comes to treating skin problems, But did you know that the leaf can also be used to reduce the effects. Boil neem leaves in water.
Take a bath with this. It will help to wash off the pollutants that stick to your skin and hair. Though the leaf is bitter to taste, try eating four-five leaves daily after washing them properly.
Tulsi is another leaf that can come to your rescue. If you don’t have a plant buy it today, it absorbs pollution. Also, drink 10 ml of tulsi juice.
Eat garlic and onions. You can cook your veggies with it to help you boost immunity.
Include ginger in your diet. Add grated ginger to your cup of tea or chew a fresh piece with a pinch of salt.
Eat plenty of citrus fruits like oranges. The Vitamin C not only helps boost immunity, it lessen the effects of air pollution as well.
