Dhanvantari gulika - #3569

For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with a recurring cold and sinus problems that just don’t seem to go away. A friend who practices Ayurveda told me about Dhanvantari Gulika and said it’s great for respiratory issues and overall immunity. I’d never heard of it before, so I wanted to learn more about how it works and if it might be right for me. My problem started about a month ago with a mild cold. At first, I thought it would clear up in a few days, but instead, it turned into this constant nasal congestion and occasional headaches. I’ve also been coughing a lot at night, which is making it hard to get proper rest. I’ve tried home remedies like steam inhalation and turmeric milk, but they only help temporarily. I don’t want to keep relying on over-the-counter medicines, so I’m exploring Dhanvantari Gulika as a natural option. From what I’ve read, Dhanvantari Gulika is supposed to be good for treating colds, coughs, fevers, and even digestive issues. But I’m not sure how to take it – do you use it during the symptoms, or is it more of a preventative remedy? Also, is it safe to give to children or older family members who might be experiencing similar issues? I’ve got young kids and elderly parents at home, and I’m wondering if this could be a helpful remedy for the whole family. One thing I’m concerned about is the taste – I heard some Ayurvedic medicines are quite strong. Does Dhanvantari Gulika need to be mixed with water or honey to make it easier to take? Also, are there specific foods I should avoid while using this medicine to make it more effective? If anyone has used Dhanvantari Gulika for colds or respiratory problems, how quickly does it work? And are there other lifestyle changes I should make alongside it to prevent these recurring infections? Would love to hear your advice!
