Expectorant Qualities Of Curcumin
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-expectorant.mp3″] Most of us have experienced a nagging cough at least a few times in our lifetime. This extremely irritating symptom usually comes riding on the back of some of the other medical conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis, or upper respiratory infection. A chronic cough can also pave the way for other symptoms like fever, sore throat, and nasal drip. A cough is a vital physiological reaction exhibited by your body to remove foreign materials that are stuck in your respiratory passages. A cough can either be productive(wet) or non-productive(dry) in nature. The Most Common Causes of a Cough are: Common Cold Laryngitis Pneumonia Bronchitis COPD Dust Allergy Long Term Passive Smoking Asthma GERD Usage of ACE inhibitors Tuberculosis Lung Cancer Why Cough Medicines Should Not Be Used Cough medications are usually sparingly prescribed by doctors since most of them contain sedatives that may be harmful in the long run. However, sometimes when a patient finds it difficult to sleep and function normally just because of a persistent cough, their physician may recommend a cough medication that suppresses the body’s urge to throw out whatever is stuck. If taken for too long, cough-killing drugs could cause side effects like fogginess, nausea, confusion, and a dry mouth. What Is the Best Solution Apart from Medicines Available from The Market It is to avoid these very side effects of standard cough medications that many people look out for natural remedies that are effective yet side-effect free. One of the popular natural healers that many rely on for curing a cough is curcumin. A yellow polyphenolic pigment found in turmeric, curcumin is known to possess a plethora of therapeutic properties. When Used as a Cough Medication, Curcumin can Help as Follows: Curcumin is a natural expectorant. It helps reduce the inflammation in the airways, thus allowing the trapped phlegm to drain out easily. As a result, the cough slowly subsides since most of the irritants are expelled along with the phlegm. Curcumin has potent antimicrobial properties that help deal with the underlying bacterial or viral infection that is triggering the cough. By penetrating the membranes of the disease-causing pathogens and initiating apoptosis or cell death, curcumin slowly clears up infections. Gargling with warm curcumin water can help flush out germs that agitate your throat and trigger a cough. Curcumin is known to boost your immune function by exerting its antioxidant effect. It neutralizes all the harmful free radicals and pulls down the level of oxidative stress in your body. As a result, your white blood cells become healthier and are able to fight off infections better. While choosing a curcumin supplement to help you beat a cough, it is essential to look for some key properties that make it worth your while. Properties that Curcumin should have to Cure Cough The curcumin used in such a supplement should come from a wild strand as it is more effective. The curcumin used in the supplement should be organic and pure The curcumin used in the supplement should be adulterant-free. Any chemical residues that have crept into the supplement you are taking may end up doing much more harm than good. The curcumin used in the supplement should not be genetically modified. The curcumin in the supplement should not have been treated with chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Turmflu is the perfect supplement that can help you get rid of the underlying condition that is making you cough relentlessly. It is grown by tribals in the serene and calm environs surrounding the Bandhavgarh forest which is known for its fertile and nutrient-rich soil.
Let our Kids Be Safe From Cold & Cough during Winter
Children, especially at a young age, experience frequent bouts of colds as compared to those who are more advanced in age. This is primarily because, in young children, their immunity is not developed to counter the numerous cold viruses that are present, which number more than a hundred. It is commonly observed that colds tend to be more prevalent during the onset of ‘fall’ and to winter season when children largely remain indoors and in close contact with each other. Further, it is common knowledge that around eighty percent of infectious diseases including the common cold is spread through touch. It is only crucial that our children are imbibed with the habit of washing hands as often as possible. Try these few things to treat this ailment and of course, boost immunity. Boost Immunity with These Easy Tricks Any person in the family catching a cold is reason enough for all others at home to be overly careful about cleaning to ensure that no one else falls prey to the virus. This is indeed a challenge since viruses are known to survive for up to two hours on things like cups, countertops as well as towels. Frequent disinfection of commonly touched areas and objects with bleach or antibacterial wipes is essential to ward off the ill effects of the viruses. Winter being a dry season, dehydration during this time is a fairly common phenomenon. Moreover, due to the low temperatures, the urge to drink water is vastly reduced. Thus, it is imperative that one should be deliberately conscious of keeping the body hydrated. We should ensure that our kids drink enough water or fresh fruit juices. Another mantra that is widely advocated is that children should spend time outdoors during winters. It is a common misnomer that cold weather causes colds and the flu. On the contrary, by being confined inside,  we render ourselves to be more vulnerable to the viruses which cause these effects. The only precaution which needs to be taken is to be adequately covered when stepping outside. By possessing anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties,  turmeric has always been known to help in relieving the symptoms of a cold. Make a paste out of dry turmeric stick charred on a stove. Apply this paste liberally on the bridge of the baby’s nose. This has yielded phenomenal results in providing relief. Undoubtedly, a hot soup containing foods that fight allergy is both curative as well as comforting. Adding bones in a non-vegetarian soup imparts added benefits.  Doctors advocate that bone marrow contains a type of fat found in our organs which encourages the body to produce white blood cells to boost immunity. Marrow is the root of blood and keeps the body healthy and strong during the winter season. When out to play during the cold season,  kids should be appropriately attired. They should be made to wear several layers of loose-fitting, light, tightly woven clothing under a heavy jacket to keep them adequately warm and protected. Further, mittens or gloves, a hat, scarf, and waterproof boots especially when encountering snow or water, should be ensured to keep them amply insulated from the harshness of low temperatures. Last but not the least, a sure way to keep our kids healthy is to ensure that they adhere to a healthy sleep pattern, consume plenty of fluids and have a diet that is always rich in a variety of vitamins, minerals, and whole grains.
Fever in Winters? Don’t Worry We Have The Natural Preventive Measure
A healthy human body is generally within the temperature range of 97.5 ºF and 98.9 ºF. Regulatory mechanisms in our brain act as a thermostat to ensure that this level is maintained. When the thermometer reading begins moving southward, which means that the body temperature is dipping, our blood carriers begin constricting to conserve the heat. On the other hand, when the reading moves north, which means that the temperature of our body is rising, our blood carriers begin dilating, therefore, releasing excess heat and cooling the body. A fever occurs when this process breaks down typically due to an infection and the temperature raises beyond 100.4° F. Apart from pathogenic attacks that usually bring a fever along, other conditions like thyroid disorders, rheumatic disease, and certain forms of cancer can also cause a fever. A fever is not something that warrants too much panic especially if it is contained below 104°F, but it certainly causes a great deal of agony in the form of symptoms like burning eyes, a headache, and chills. Many times it becomes impossible for us to bear these symptoms while we are undergoing treatment for the underlying infection that has given rise to temperature. For most people, reaching out for a bottle of paracetamol (acetaminophen) is the first reaction in such a situation. While it is alright to take such OTC painkillers once in a while, regular consumption may unleash a series of rather serious side effects like liver damage. Therefore, instead of relying on chemical medication, it is always a better option to go for natural remedies that are effective in beating a fever. One such remedy involves the consumption of curcumin, a polyphenolic pigment that is found in turmeric. Curcumin has many therapeutic effects that help in relieving most symptoms of a fever. How does Curcumin help in Fever? Anti-Inflammatory Properties – When your body is battling an infection, it is natural for your WBC count to go up in order to fight the pathogens. This leads to the release of inflammatory substances in the bloodstream that skew the temperature-regulating mechanism of the body. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help control the activity of pro-inflammatory substances and hence lower the malaise and pain triggered by a fever. Immunity-Boosting Quality – Curcumin is a well-known immunity-enhancer. Regular consumption of curcumin in conjunction with pepper can help improve your body’s ability to resist infections as well as fight them. As a result, you may end up experiencing fewer instances of a fever. Infection-Fighting Abilities –Curcumin has the ability to fight a wide range of pathogens from all three categories – bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It effectively spots pathogen cells and infiltrates them causing apoptosis or cell death that eventually clears up the infection. Consequently, the fever that was induced by such an infection also fades away. If all these facts have convinced you regarding the efficacy of curcumin in beating infections and a fever and you are looking for the right curcumin supplement, you need not look any further. Turmflu, a curcumin enriched supplement created by Bagdara Farms, is the perfect supplement as it contains organically grown curcumin which is adulterant-free and pure. Sharing the same fertile soil that characterizes the lush green Bandhavgarh forests, the Bagdara farmland is an apt place to grow fine quality curcumin that can be consumed by people of all age groups and suffering from a variety of medical conditions. If you have been running a temperature that has been giving you sleepless nights and uncomfortable days, taking Turmflu with some warm milk and a pinch of pepper to improve the absorption of curcumin will help relieve some of the most uncomfortable symptoms. What’s more, consuming it proactively during flu season can help safeguard you from infections and keep fevers at bay
Blow away Whooping Cough with Curcumin
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/whooping-cough.mp3″] Our respiratory system is prone to many infections caused by microbes lingering in the air that we breathe. Pertussis is one such highly contagious infection of the respiratory system that specifically affects the nose and the throat. The other name for the disease is whooping cough and gets its name from the typical hacking cough followed by a high pitch intake of breath that makes the sound like ‘whoop’. It generally affects very young children and adults who had been vaccinated but the immunity has diminished. The incubation period for the infection is one week to 10 days after which the signs and symptoms appear. They appear like symptoms of cold during the initial stages and thereafter, the following symptoms are seen: Nasal congestion and runny nose Red eyes that are always watery Fever accompanied by a cough Diarrhoea After 7 days or so, the usual cough turns into episodes of constant coughing with a whooping sound. Thick mucus can accumulate inside the air tracts and cause uncontrollable coughing. The face may turn red or blue due to coughing and also cause extreme fatigue. Infants may not have this characteristic cough but they might gasp for air and even stop breathing in between. The main pathogen that causes pertussis is a bacterium called Bordetella pertussis and spreads through the air. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the droplets with bacteria get sprayed into the air and are breathed in by the person nearby. Infants less than 12 months of age are more susceptible and need to be vaccinated or else can cause many severe complications like pneumonia, brain damage, seizure, dehydration, or weight loss. Adults and teenagers can recover completely from whooping cough but complications can include abdominal hernias, cracked ribs, and even broken blood vessels in the skin or whites of the eyes. One of the common ways to prevent pertussis infection is vaccination. This vaccination is given in a combination of vaccines with other two life-threatening diseases, tetanus, and diphtheria. The vaccine is called DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, and tetanus) vaccine. Teenagers and adults also need to get booster dosages as the effectiveness of the vaccine tends to wane off over a period of time. Pregnant women must not miss their vaccination in the 27 and 36 weeks of gestation period. Curcumin could be considered as one of the treatments as well as preventive measures for pertussis. The antimicrobial activity of curcumin helps to kill the bacteria causing pertussis. Curcumin also has a great anti-inflammatory action which can help relieve the symptoms of pertussis infection with Turmflu.
The Essential Steps To Keep The Flu Away This Season

Somehow in spite of all the precautions, the Flu manages to have us in its grip. What Exactly Is A Flu? Flu is a most common term for Influenza which is a very contagious respiratory disease brought on by Influenza A or B virus. This generally strikes during winter or early spring the virus launches its attack by entering the body through upper or lower respiratory tract or both.

The flu is highly contagious and spreads from one person to another usually through respiratory secretions; it is generally dominant in areas where there are a large number of people like daycare centres, classrooms, hostels etc. When you inhale air droplets that have the flu virus or when one comes in contact with respiratory secretions like sharing a drink or a cigarette, or you are in contact with things touched by an infected person you catch the flu. When you touch something that has the virus and later on rub your face or touch your face, the virus gets transferred, that is the reason behind advocating frequent hand wash regimen. It takes about 1 to 4 days for the symptoms of flu to develop and start showing Who Is More Susceptible To Flu Complications? The flu can happen to anyone, but the infants, toddlers, the aged and pregnant women are more prone to developing the flu. Individuals who are battling chronic diabetes, heart problems, lung issues and HIV are also more susceptible to falling prey to the virus. The flu viruses are generally divided into three categories Type A, B, C Type A – the one that causes epidemics Type B– milder and less common Type C-causes infection but does not give symptoms typical of flu. Type A & B are generally connected to the development of Reye’s syndrome which is life-threatening and affects children and teenagers under 18 years.
