Homemade Ayurvedic Immunity Booster Drinks You Need to Try Right Now With Recipes |COVID-19|

2020 came in like a raging bull, destroying all our fancy vacation plans, whether it be to that new scenic destination, where you were so eager to visit (obviously for the gram- duh!), or maybe that 2020 resolution about shedding some kilos, maybe? Though the latter one could still be an option, if you could successfully sneak out of your house! ( Just kidding, DO NOT TRY THESE STUNTS )- but seriously, looking at the lethality and the deadliness of the virus and the rapid multiplication rate of it, your safest bet right now, is to cooperate with the government and stay at home. immunity booster drinks

This is such an ironic situation, isn’t it? recall those days, when we used to dream about lounging on our beds all day with no office- now when we have time in our hands, all we do is crib about the self-proclaimed futility of it. During these times of hardships, we need to keep our calm and need to learn how to survive with the virus, until there is an effective vaccine developed.

“Learn how to survive with the virus”- You say, what does that mean?

We all know that the government implicated lockdown is not for everyone, our corona fighters are out there, fighting with this invisible enemy, for us. Also, we do step out of our houses, as needed, to buy groceries once in a while or so.

” Attack is the best form of defense”

The assertion that a pre-emptive strike is the most effective way of protecting oneself, this is what is needed during this time, as we do not have a definite way of how to deal with this ordeal. It is true that there is no vaccine for COVID-19 yet, in the market, but one thing is for sure that the survival rate of people with higher immunity power is better. That is why children and senior citizens are at a higher risk. What should we do then? Ayurveda has an answer to it.
