Individuals often get colds and flu during the winter and spring seasons. The symptoms are all too familiar runny nose, cough, congestion, headache, an achy body, and sometimes fever.
Ayurvedically speaking, colds are a kapha vata disorder. The body builds up an excess of cool and moist kapha qualities, resulting in congestion and a runny nose, and at the same time it may suffer from excess vata, which reduces agni (gastric fire), leading to chills, loss of appetite, and poor digestion.

Ayurveda says that when you have a cold, it is best not to do vigorous exercise, which can set up the conditions for the cold to move into the chest Just do some gentle yoga asanas. Surya namaskar (Sun Salutation) is beneficial. The inverted postures, including Shoulder Stand, and Head stand (hold for only about a minute), as well as Forward Bend, help to prevent postnasal drip and help to drain the mucus through the nose.
Use the Breath of Fire breathing exercise to help burn up your cold. Inhale normally and passively, but exhale forcefully, and repeat rapidly several times. This exercise will help to eliminate mucus from the respiratory tract.
Another effective breathing exercise is deep Alternate Nostril breathing, without retention of breath. This will also help to relieve congestion.
As a preventive measure, take the herb amalaki. It is a rasayana (rejuvenative tonic) and a good source of vitamin C and iron. Taking 1 teaspoon of amalaki daily, with warm water at night, will help to prevent the common cold.
if you are taking triphala at night, you are already taking amalaki; it is one of the three herbs that constitute triphala (along with haritaki and bibhitaki). Taking extra amalaki is not recommended, as it would create diarrhea.
