This kind of weather confusion is common across Indian cities and often brings seasonal congestion, throat irritation, blocked sinuses, or that heavy “coming-down-with-something” feeling. In Ayurveda, this period is known as Grishma Ritu - the peak summer season, when heat, dryness, and fluid loss can gradually lower the body’s strength. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Sachin Anand , Co- Founder of Amma Living, shared home remedies that ease congestion. Home remedies to treat seasonal congestion.

Take fresh lemon water with roasted jeera, black salt, and room-temperature water. Sachin said, “It helps replenish fluids and electrolytes lost through sweating, supports hydration, reduces fatigue, and may aid digestion after heat exposure or long hours in AC environments.” Avoid excess sugar and ice and if symptoms persist, ongoing fatigue or throat irritation should be evaluated.2. Chaas (Buttermilk)
Take fresh chaas blended with roasted jeera, mint, coriander, and a pinch of salt. According to Sachin, it supports hydration, digestion, and helps cool the body naturally during hot months. It can also feel light and refreshing when the appetite is low in summer. He advises this to be best taken fresh and not ice-cold.

Sattu drink
Take roasted gram flour mixed with water, jeera, and light seasoning. It provides steady energy, supports hydration, helps with summer fatigue, and keeps you fuller for longer. A practical option during hot days when heavy meals feel unappealing. However, it is best taken fresh and in moderate quantities. If symptoms persist, ongoing digestive discomfort should be evaluated by a doctor.4. Kokum
Kokum drink is prepared with mint and fennel. It is cooling and refreshing, often used to support comfort during heat exposure. It may help with acidity, sluggish appetite, and that overheated feeling common in peak summer. Sachin advises making this drink at home or consuming low-sugar versions. If acidity or stomach pain persists, it requires medical review. A light warm infusion with ingredients like ginger, tulsi, cinnamon, mulethi, or black pepper. (Unsplash)5.
