Low immunity, poor digestion, and sneaky microbes in food and water is what causes problem. For example, Tulsi and ginger help clear respiratory blockages and are naturally antiviral, perfect for warding off colds and coughs. Turmeric is a strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that supports your immune system while helping the liver detoxify after exposure to contaminated food or water. Monsoon also means a messed-up tummy. Many waterborne illnesses like typhoid, jaundice, diarrhoea, or hepatitis are caused by bacteria and viruses found in contaminated rainwater or unclean food.
