I am often accused of being the partner in crime with my
nephew. Since the time he was born, started crawling, walking, running,
screaming, hiding stuff and happily yapping on his own. My sister often told
me, it looks like we have two kids at home, one who is genuinely a kid and the
other one, just enjoys being one. Grow up!
I would reason myself saying that when you have a tiny
little kid at home, what more do you expect me to do? That takes care of the
situation slightly and gets followed up by scolding. But I know for sure, she
enjoys every bit of the naughtiness that we do. Well, I only supervise, he does
the execution part. The house remains filled with laughter and joy and there’s
always a fun moment in everything that he does. But when he falls sick, none of
us could find the energy to do anything except for care for him as much as we
can. Especially me. I just need him to get back on his feet, running around
with the toys following me and Didi around, occasionally seeking help from my
brother-in-law to help him catch these two women in the house.
I still remember one incident when Adi had fallen sick just
after returning from school. I was in office when Didi called and asked me to
bring a thermometer. Adi had high fever and our thermometer wasn’t working
properly. I came out of work as early as I could, bought a thermometer from the
medical store and ran home. His doctor diagnosed the fever as a seasonal viral
fever and suggested that he must be taken care well because his immunity system
is still weak. We needed him to recover and stay healthy. Every one of us in
the house went berserk to figure out what to do to make his immunity system
strong so that he doesn’t get prone to falling sick every now and then.
Suggestions poured in from everywhere, and each had their own reasons. Someone,
at that point of time, suggested Dabur Chyawanprash, a time tested formulation
that we as children ate and loved too. For us, it was just a black colour
formulation that tasted very different from what we ate or any medications that
we took during fever. Dad made it a point to bring a bottle and had to be
shared amongst the sisters every morning. This time, both of us, thought of
understanding why is it important and why should we give it Adi. We scanned
through https://www.liveveda.com/daburchyawanprash/
for more information.
Dabur Chyawanprash contains a number of herbs including Amla
(one of the best antioxidants), Giloy (also known as Guduchi which has some of
the best immune-modulatory properties) and 40 other natural ingredients. The
anti-oxidant properties of Dabur Chwayanprash helps in strengthening the body’s
internal defence mechanism or the immunity system as we know it. This helps in
protecting us from infections and cough and cold. Dabur Chwayanprash helps in
stimulating the natural killer cells in our bodies and assist in fighting with
virus and bacteria in the body. Its anti-allergic potential has also been
proved.
Didi got a small bottle for him and started feeding him
every morning one spoon of it. Initially, he started making faces because of
the taste that was so new for him but gradually, he started eating as a
compulsory food as part of his breakfast. It worked wonders on him. Within no
time, after he recovered from his fever, he showed signs of improved immunity
with less bouts of cough and cold and no running nose. He was back on his feet
running around the house, cycling in the park and giggling at everything he
saw. His smile and laughter replaced the crankiness that he was having for the
past few days.
And when he’s back on his feet, I was back. So was Didi.
Scolding us for running around and troubling her! J
