Herbal Teas & Kadhas: Folk Wisdom or Science-Backed Remedy?

Kadhas have always held a special place in Indian kitchens and medicine cabinets. Whether it's a scratchy throat or seasonal flu, there’s always been a kadha recipe passed down through generations. Recently, the government even endorsed them for immunity during the COVID-19 wave. But beyond tradition, there’s real wisdom in the brew. Modern science is starting to back what Ayurveda has always claimed, that certain herbs and spices, when simmered right, can support the body’s healing process and strengthen immunity.
