Bengaluru,11 Sept 2024: As the much-awaited monsoon season arrives, offering a refreshing break from the sweltering summer heat, it also brings a host of seasonal ailments, especially for those with low immunity, including children. The drop in temperature and rise in humidity levels create an ideal environment for infections to thrive, making diseases such as cold, cough, malaria, dengue, typhoid, and pneumonia more prevalent.

Ayurveda, a centuries-old science, provides a holistic approach to combating these seasonal threats. While modern medicine offers solutions for treating diseases, ancient Indian herbs and Ayurvedic formulations offer a preventive approach to maintaining a healthy and energetic lifestyle. One such powerful formulation rooted in the principles of Rasayana tantra—one of the eight specialties of Ayurveda focused on rejuvenation—is Chyawanprash.

Dr. Parmeshwar Arora, M.D. (Ayurveda), B.H.U, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said Chyawanprash is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation, used for decades for boosting immunity and providing resistance against infections. Dabur Chyawanprash, based on an age-old formulation, is an Ayurvedic supplement, fortified with various herbs and minerals. Dabur Chyawanprash helps in prevention of a variety of diseases through its immunomodulatory effects. Dabur has conducted various clinical and preclinical studies which confirm Chyawanprash’s beneficial effect on immunity, seasonal influences, nasal allergies and infections, etc. Chyawanprash helps balance tridoshas ‘vata,pitta, and Kapha as mentioned in ancient ayurvedic scriptures. Dabur Chyawanprash helps activate Dendritic Cells, NK cells & macrophages helping fight germs.

Mr. Prashant Agarwal, Marketing Head – Health Supplements at Dabur India Ltd, emphasized, “With a rich heritage of Ayurveda and deep knowledge of nature, Dabur has always focused on providing safe, cost-efficient, and effective healthcare for all through the study of authentic Ayurvedic texts. Dabur Chyawanprash, a formulation created with ancient Indian knowledge of Ayurveda and the cutting edge of science, is the perfect way to protect ourselves from various day-to-day infections.”

Mr. Diwakar, Headmaster, Government Kannada Model Primary School KG Halli, Bengaluru, expressed his gratitude, stating, “The Immune India campaign is in perfect sync with our school’s mission to promote a healthy and active environment for our students. We believe that health and sports play a vital role in the all-round development of individuals.”

The event concluded with an interactive session where students actively participated and showcased their enthusiasm towards adopting a healthy lifestyle and engaging in sports activities. Dabur India, Corporate communication, Mr. Dinesh Kumar was present at the event.

Dabur Chyawanprash’s key ingredient, Amla (Indian gooseberry), is renowned for its immunity-boosting properties. Other ingredients, such as Guduchi, Pippali, Kantakari, and Shalparni, among others, work synergistically to alleviate common infections and allergies, particularly those affecting the respiratory system.

The monsoon brings much-needed relief from the sweltering heat, making it the perfect season to enjoy a hot cup of chai and curl up with your favorite book or TV show. However, it’s also the time when illnesses like cholera, dysentery, dengue, and typhoid increase.

But why do these diseases see a surge during the rainy season?

The answer is simple: water contamination. Rainwater often carries pollutants and microorganisms from the environment into water sources, significantly raising the risk of water pollution. So, what can you do to keep you and your family disease-free this monsoon?

Well, this is where a water purifier comes in! Purified drinking water has become the need of the hour as illnesses spike during the monsoon, and many apartments experience water contamination.

But if you think you can easily opt for water cans and bottles, think again! These options are often unsafe because we do not know the source of the water, and they are exposed to many pollutants such as the sun, dust, and rain as they are transported from one place to another. Not to mention the amount of microplastics in these plastic water cans and bottles that is equally dangerous to your health.

For families with older adults and young children, the importance of having access to 100% safe drinking water cannot be overstated. Both of these groups are particularly vulnerable to waterborne diseases due to their weaker immune systems, making them less able to fight off deadly infections.

This is why ensuring they have access to clean drinking water always is crucial for maintaining their health.

Here is how purified drinking water can help prevent waterborne diseases:

Prevents infections: One of the most significant benefits of drinking water that is purified is that it is free from harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These microorganisms are the primary causes of waterborne diseases like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. Purified water eliminates these pathogens, significantly reducing the risk of infections.

Improves immunity: Clean drinking water is essential for maintaining good health and boosting the immune system. This is particularly important for children and the elderly, who are more vulnerable to diseases. By providing them with purified water, we can help strengthen their immune systems, making them less susceptible to infections.

Enhances digestion: Contaminated water can cause a range of gastrointestinal issues, from mild stomach upsets to severe cases of gastroenteritis. Drinking purified water helps maintain proper digestion and prevents stomach-related problems. This is especially crucial during the monsoon season when the risk of contamination is higher.

Promotes safe hydration: Drinking 100% safe water encourages proper hydration, which is essential for overall health. Contaminated water can often have an unpleasant taste or smell, discouraging adequate water intake. When the water is purified, it is not only safe but also tastes better, promoting regular and sufficient hydration.

So, while monsoons are a delightful season to enjoy, it’s important to be mindful of the food and water we consume. Investing in a water purifier at home is a great way to ensure clean, safe, and healthy drinking water every day.

Plus, make sure to eat home-cooked meals, avoid outside food and drinks as much as possible, and carry your own water bottles to enjoy the rain safely!
