Staying warm and maintaining strong immunity becomes essential during the winter season. Cold winds and rapidly dropping temperatures can trigger health issues like colds, coughs, and viral infections. Even a small dietary mistake during this season can weaken the body. Ayurveda experts often advise consuming foods and drinks that help generate warmth and enhance immunity. In this context, yoga guru Baba Ramdev frequently promotes natural, home-based remedies for building winter resilience.

Recently, he revealed a special drink that can be included in your daily routine to keep winter-related illnesses at bay. Here’s what makes this drink special and how to prepare it.

Baba Ramdev’s Super Tonic for Winter

Baba Ramdev regularly shares traditional health remedies through his social media. In one of his recent videos, he introduced a winter tonic prepared using simple, indigenous ingredients. He describes this drink as a “super tonic for winter”, claiming it helps protect the body from intense cold while boosting overall strength and immunity.

How This Drink Helps in Fighting the Cold

According to Baba Ramdev, this winter tonic helps:

• Keep the body warm

• Strengthen bones

• Boost immunity

• Increase energy levels

• Reduce the risk of cold, cough, and fatigue

Since the drink relies on traditional Indian ingredients, he says it is safe for daily consumption during winter.

Ingredients and Recipe (With Milk)

To prepare the milk-based winter tonic, you will need:

• A large glass of milk

• Grated ginger

• Turmeric

• Saffron (Kesar)

• 1–2 drops of Shilajit

• Honey

• A pinch of cinnamon powder

Method:

1. Warm the milk.

2. Add grated ginger and turmeric.

3. Mix in saffron and 1–2 drops of Shilajit.

4. Add honey to taste.

5. Stir well — the drink will take on a coffee-like colour.

6. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on top.

Baba Ramdev suggests drinking it daily during winter. He also mentions that pairing it with Chyawanprash enhances immunity even further.

How to Prepare the Drink Without Milk

People who avoid milk can prepare an equally effective version of this tonic. For the non-milk version, you will need:

• A few strands of saffron

• A pinch of ginger

• A pinch of turmeric

• A pinch of Shilajit powder

• Cinnamon powder

• Honey

• Warm water

Method:

1. Add saffron to a glass.

2. Mix in ginger, turmeric, and Shilajit powder.

3. Add cinnamon powder.

4. Pour warm water and stir.

5. Add honey and drink.

Baba Ramdev says this version also strengthens immunity, provides warmth, and improves stamina during winter.
