In this short video, Ayurveda health coach Salila Sukumaran explains why the classic grandma remedy of chicken soup can be beneficial for a congested chest and head cold, but adds an Ayurvedic twist. She notes that while chicken is traditionally soothing, Ayurveda classifies chicken as "shlesh melo" – a food that increases phlegm and is heavy (guru). To counteract these qualities, she recommends preparing the soup with plenty of ginger, turmeric, and other digestive herbs and spices, ensuring the dish supports digestion and reduces congestion. Salila frames the advice in a conversational, instructional style, positioning herself as a practical Ayurveda guide.
