My husband had seasonal cold and cough last week, which left him drained. The humble ginger halwa would do wonders; one teaspoon morning and evening will do well, juice of ginger and Tulsi do well but this is slightly elaborated process for daily. But prepare this halwa and can be use for a week at normal room temperature. Ginger is good for digestion and this halwa consists of fiber too. A couple of leaves of Tulasi chewed would help too. Tulasi leaves are also help quench thirst quickly.
