- Mix 1 tsf of honey to 1 tsf of basil leaf juice; take it twice a day.
- Prepare a decoction by boiling one glass of water containing 1 tsf of coriander powder, 1 tsf of pepper powder and 1/2 tsf of ginger powder; reduce it to quarter glass and take it three times a day.
- Apply turmeric paste on the forehead.

Amla is rich in vit. C and vit. C is good for cold. But if you get throat irritation when amla juice is consumed. Avoid it.
