Ayurvedic First Aid Kit

I was getting frequent questions about first aid kits from my clients. I have had my Ayurvedic First aid kit for a few years now and carry it with me during all trips. I thought it might be a great idea to share it, so my clients will have it available at home or during their travels. It seems especially important since we are approaching cold/flu season. Most supplements are safe to use if you read the indications carefully. But I highly encourage you to discuss the list with your Ayurvedic Practitioner or at least confirm before using any of them.

Dasamulakatutrayadi Kwatham Tablet - initial stages of cold (take two tablets after exposure to cold or once you develop first symptoms), flu, sneezing, congestion (white or clear mucus), wet cough (white or clear mucus). Adult dosage: 2 tablets twice a day 30-60 min before food.
