When you experience these symptoms, boil suitable leaves and herbs and consume the herbal drink to remove the excess toxins from your body.If you frequently catch a cold, accumulation of phlegm in the chest area will increase, thus creating difficulty in breathing. Therefore you need to take proper care and medicines to cure this problem as phlegm is toxic.

To prevent your children from frequent cold and running nose, practice oil bath as this prevents heatiness which leads to cold and accumulation of phlegm. Also during oil bath, excess phlegm will flow down to your nasal area and make sure you force the excess phlegm out by blowing your nose.

In Siddha medicine, there are various types of medicated herbal oils (tailam) to be applied on the chest, leaves and herbal medicines to be consumed which helps reduce excess body heat. When proper care is taken from tender age, asthma, cold and flu can be prevented. Hence children will lead a healthy life and their growth will not be hindered.
