The nip in the air during winters often results in cough and cold. And that's when the magic of Besan ka Sheera helps. In Ayurveda, Besan ka Sheera is considered a warm, nourishing remedy that helps balance Vata and Kapha doshas. The goodness of roasted besan, ghee, warm milk, and spices like turmeric, black pepper, and cardamom creates an ideal ushna (warming) drink that supports digestion, immunity, and respiratory health.
