Hospitals are reporting a significant spike in respiratory conditions this week. But there are ways you can minimise the ill effects of this nasty pollution that's hurting your lungs. We spoke to Ayurvedic experts to know about hacks that can help you survive this menace. 1) NEEM Dr Nitin Rajan Kochar (MD) (Ayurveda), Hon.

It will clear the pollutants stuck to skin and mucosal membrane. If possible, also try to eat three to four leaves at least twice a week. It helps to purify blood and lymphatic tissue. 2) TULSI (BASIL) Tulsi (basil) should be planted at every house to absorb the pollution.

Ayurveda Consultant at Saifee Hospital, Mumbai. 4) GHEE Dr Shah recommends, “One can put 2 drops of cow ghee in each nostril every day in the morning and at bed time to stay clear from pollutants.” Dr Kochar adds, “It is important to have two to three teaspoon of homemade ghee daily. It is very much useful to chelate the toxic effects of metals like lead and mercury and does not allow them to accumulate in bones, kidneys and liver.”
