Yes, you can take Patanjali Divya Peya. It is an excellent herbal substitute for tea. It contains herbs like Tulsi, Black Pepper, and Cinnamon which heat the body and melt the mucus (Kapha).

How to prepare it for maximum effect: For Cold, Cough, and Headache, you must NOT add Milk. Milk increases mucus and will worsen your sore throat.

The Recipe: 1. Boil 1 teaspoon of Divya Peya in 1.5 cups of water.  2. Crush a small piece of Fresh Ginger (Adrak) and add it to the boiling water (Ginger is specific for the throat and headache). 3. Boil until it reduces to 1 cup. 4. Strain it. Add Jaggery (Gud) for sweetness. 5. Important: If you have a sore throat, drink it hot. If you want to add Honey, wait until the tea becomes lukewarm (never cook honey).

Dosage: Take this twice daily, once after breakfast and once in the evening.

Additional Remedy for Headache • Take steam with plain water or add a pinch of Ajwain (Carom seeds) to the water. Do this for 5-10 minutes before sleeping.

Dietary Caution • Avoid: Curd (Yogurt), Cold Water, and Bananas. These are channel blockers and will increase the cough instantly.

Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ do realize how uncomfortable you must be with cold. Cold, cough, sore throat, and headache can be very irritating, especially in the initial days. The positive aspect is that since your symptoms are less than a week old, they may be controlled effectively with herbal measures and uncomplicated Ayurvedic care 😊

The health issue you described depressing you:-

You are suffering from: Cold and cough Sore throat Headache Duration: Acute (less than 1 week)

Ayurvedic Understanding The condition in question is often due to Kapha–Vata aggravation, which is generally triggered by one or more of the following: Change of weather Exposure to cold Weak digestion (Agni mandya)

The main objective is to melt Kapha, clean the channels, and lessen the swelling.

ABOUT PATANJALI DIVYA PEYA

LIFESTYLE TIPS

WHEN TO SEEK ADDITIONAL HELP

With suitable herbal support, acute cold and cough generally get better within 2–3 days.

Hlo, Thanks for your question,

✅ Yes, it can be taken, but timing matters for best effect. ✔ Best way to take: On empty stomach in the morning → most effective If not possible → 2 hours after breakfast, not immediately after food 👉 Taking it immediately after breakfast reduces its efficacy.

🌿 How to use Divya Peya properly - Dose: 1 teaspoon powder - Method: Boil in 1½ cups water → reduce to 1 cup → sip warm - Frequency: Once daily (morning)

🌿 Additional herbal remedies (simple & effective) For sore throat & cough:- - Warm water gargles with salt + turmeric - Tulsi + ginger tea twice daily - Honey + ginger juice (½ tsp each) at night

For headache due to cold:- - Steam inhalation with ajwain or eucalyptus - Apply warm sesame oil on forehead and sinuses

Thanku

Yes, you can take Patanjali Divya Peya after breakfast for relief from cold, cough, and headache. Divya Peya is an herbal tea enriched with beneficial spices and herbs, which can aid in alleviating respiratory issues and general discomfort caused by colds. However, for optimal results, consider drinking it two to three times a day, either after meals or whenever you feel discomfort.

To prepare, simply steep a teaspoon of the mixture in a cup of hot water for about 5 minutes, strain, and then enjoy. You may enhance its effects by adding a slice of ginger or a dash of lemon, as these ingredients can further soothe the throat and support the immune system. Honey can also be used to sweeten while lending additional therapeutic benefits, like soothing the throat.

Aside from herbal tea, consider your overall diet during this period. Consume warm, easy-to-digest foods, like soups, rice, and lentils with spices like turmeric and black pepper. These ingredients help in maintaining a healthy agni (digestive fire), which is essential for combating such ailments.

In terms of lifestyle, rest is crucial. Allow your body to recuperate by getting sufficient sleep, and avoid exposure to cold or damp environments. Steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can also provide relief from nasal congestion and headaches. Just ensure you cover your head while inhaling the steam.

Remember, if you experience severe or persistent symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to address any underlying conditions or complications. While Ayurveda offers supportive care, it’s always wise to monitor your symptoms closely.
