— Our head, chest & feet are the most sensitive parts in our body in the winters & most of the times they are the reason that our body catches cold. If it happens our chest is blocked, cough starts and sometimes the body catches the fever even. So it is very important that one should cover his/her chest properly. As soon as the winters start, start wearing a woollen baniyan beneath, as the cotton baniyans can not protect the body that much.

— The hands, feet & the head are the exposed parts in our body. While going out in winters, take care that your hands are covered with gloves and head with a scarf, especially when you are going out.

— Like our chest, our feet are also very sensitive to catch a cold. Do not walk on the floor barefooted. Put woollen or cotton socks instead of nylon. Nylon can not prevent the cold.

— Do not wear sleeveless or half-sleeved garments. Wear only cotton and woollen garments with full sleeves.

— Put always a muffler around your neck, especially while riding a two wheeler. If you have a sore throat or caught a cough, do not forget the muffler.

— While in bed, the body gets the chill easily. So wrap your body in a thick blanket or a quilt properly. Take your gloves & socks off while in the bed.

— Keep a shawl at your bedside and put it on while coming out of the bed.

— After you are awake, do not immediately go for a bath. Let your body temperature be normal first.

— Take your bath in fresh or lukewarm water. Do not use too hot or too cold water.

— After you had your bath, do not come out of the bathroom wearing your gown or towel alone. Put some woollen garment on or a shawl around you.

— If possible, wash you hair while sitting in the sun. Never tie your wet hair. Do not go on the scooter with wet hair. Dry your hair in the sun.

— Winters are not the right season to apply henna in your hair. Henna is quite cold in itself & can give you cold. But if you have to apply it, heat it first and sit in the sun after applying it. Wash your hair in lukewarm water.

— Sun activates the body. Try to sit in the sun with your back towards it for some time. It is good for removing the body stiffness.

— Do not drink the kept water, as the water gets colder with the passage of time. But if fresh water is not available, make it lukewarm first.
