How to Boost Your Immunity During Monsoon Season Naturally
Monsoon brings relief from the heat, but also increases the risk of infections like colds, flu, dengue, and stomach issues. Humidity affects digestion, lowers immunity, and makes the body more prone to seasonal illnesses.
1. Start Your Day with Warm Water + Tulsi
Drinking warm water with a few Tulsi (holy basil) leaves boosts your metabolism and strengthens your immune response.
Bonus Tip: Add 1 tsp honey + 2 drops lemon for detox support.
2. Eat Light & Seasonal Food
- Prefer khichdi, steamed veggies, and soups over fried items.
- Avoid curd at night (can increase mucus).
- Include immune-boosting foods like:
- Ginger
- Turmeric milk (Haldi Doodh)
- Garlic
- Amla (Indian gooseberry)
3. Try These Ayurvedic Herbs
These herbs naturally support immunity during damp weather:
- Ashwagandha – for stress management
- Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) – natural immunity booster
- Turmeric – anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial
- Trikatu Churna – boosts digestion & metabolism
4. Stay Hydrated (But Mind Your Water Source!)
- Drink boiled or filtered water to avoid waterborne diseases
- Add jeera or fennel seeds to your water for digestion
5. Yoga and Pranayama for Lung Health
Practice these daily for 15–20 minutes to improve lung capacity and reduce stress:
- Anulom Vilom
- Kapalbhati
- Surya Namaskar
6. Keep Skin Dry & Clean

- Use neem-based soap
- Dry areas like underarms and toes well
- Wear breathable cotton clothes
