The arrival of winter also sees a rise in air pollution, especially in urban regions. Since colder temperatures trap pollutants close to the ground, they are prevented from dispersing into the upper levels of the atmosphere. This leads to higher concentrations of harmful particles in the air. Staying indoors is not always possible as you have to head out for work or attend to other commitments. Coming in contact with smoke and pollutants can become hazardous to health, causing several problems like cold, cough and fever.

Although certain medications can cure air pollution-related problems, it is always better to take preventive measures. Nutritionist Palak Nagpal has come up with the perfect solution for you. In a detailed video on Instagram, she shares the recipe for a lung cleanse tea that can beat the ill effects of air pollution. She captions the video as “Much NEEDED - Lung cleanse tea.”
