In the past two decades, humans have come across various new viruses, which has made people more cautious of viral infections, especially during the flu season in India. With changing weather, a rise in pollution, and weakening immunity, cases of seasonal flu are on the rise. Modern medicines mostly provide symptomatic relief, but a lot of people are now heading towards Ayurveda for a more natural and long-term solution.
Seasonal influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. Influenza viruses are mainly of two types, A and B. Flu, or seasonal influenza, is a contagious viral infection that affects the respiratory system and can also affect general well-being. It is often accompanied by discomfort like fever, body aches, fatigue, and even seasonal eye infections in some cases.
Here comes the role of Mirasa Ayurveda, which helps in boosting immunity, balancing doshas, and curing the root cause rather than suppressing the symptoms alone. Ayurveda not only helps in recovery but also plays an important role in prevention through simple lifestyle and dietary practices.
Flu is a viral disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another, especially during the seasonal changes like winter and monsoon. It affects the nose, throat, and lungs and, in certain circumstances, can even lead to irritation or redness of the eyes.
Symptoms of seasonal flu typically include:

According to Ayurveda, the causes are as follows:
The Ama inhibits the body pathways and lowers resistance, leading to symptoms such as congestion, fever, and weakness.
Most traditional flu treatments work to reduce fever and relieve symptoms temporarily. However, Ayurveda works holistically:
