Delhi, the vibrant heart of India, is grappling with an escalating environmental crisis. The city's skies, often veiled in thick smog, deteriorate air quality and impact the lives of millions irrespective of their age, gender, and social strata with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic illnesses like respiratory tract infections, asthma, allergic cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, lung cancer, etc. In the wake of Diwali celebrations, Delhi found itself grappling with more than just the remnants of fireworks. The post-festive season haze reveals a concerning reality- a spike in respiratory diseases that adds to the ongoing pollution woes. Pollution levels in and around Delhi consistently persist in the "critical" category, with air quality index (AQI) readings surpassing 400 at multiple locations in recent days.
Amid the haze of pollution, there is a glimmer of hope in the form of natural remedies. These holistic approaches aim to alleviate respiratory issues and foster lung health.
