Yes, in Malayalam, warm water is called “ചൂടു വെള്ളം” (Choodu Vellam). It’s quite central in traditional treatments in Kerala and throughout Ayurveda. Driniking warm water is really recommended because it helps balance the doshas, especially beneficial for calming Vata and Kapha imbalances. Let’s dive in a bit more on your questions.
For digestion, you’re spot on! Drinking warm water indeed helps in clearing out ama — those pesky toxins. it can stimulate Agni, which is your digestive fire, making digestion more smooth and reducing bloating or constipation. To tackle constipation specifically, warm water with lemon or honey in the morning can be quite effective. Try it on an empty stomach, which might give better results.
About weight loss—yea, many people claim it supports weight reduction, but be a bit cautious here. It might slightly boost metabolism, but it’s no miracle worker alone. Accompany it with a balanced diet and a routine exercise plan. It’s the combo that truly works for shedding pounds.
Unpacking the respiratory concerns, yes, warm herbal water with Tulsi, Chukku, and pepper can be very soothing for colds and throat irritation. It’s an age-old remedy in Kerala for such problems and quite effective during flu seasons. Drink a small cup twice daily whenever you feel the start of a congestion or cold.
As for driniking at night, a warm glass can aid in detoxification and help relax the body for a better sleep. Ensure it’s just a small cup to avoid nocturnal trips to the bathroom, which might disturb sleep.
Finally, for skin, although warm water aids in detoxification which might improve skin health over time, pronounced effects like reducing acne vary from person to person. Some notice radiance and hydration benefits over consistent use, but results can greatly depend on other factors like diet and lifestyle.
Incorporate this simple practice daily. Start gently and listen to how your body responds. Hydrate throughout the day, you might see improvements with dedicated practice.
Remember, this doesn’t replace medical advice, so always consult with a healthcare professional especially if conditions persist. Happy hydrating with your Choodu Vellam!!
