Rains offer the much needed respite from the hot weather. Rainy season shift brings both relief and health challenges.
While the rainy season can be enjoyable, cozy and comfortable, we also cannot deny that flu and other illnesses like cough, colds, allergies, are common around this time. It may cause discomfort to daily commuters, and abstain them from getting on time to wherever they are headed.
" The shift in seasons usually affects my family because most of them travel and works onsite. Dahil tag-ulan at nasa labas sila ng bahay, putting them at an increased risk of catching a cold or flu virus. After work, pagdating sa bahay, I saw them starts sneezing, nasal congestion, cough and colds."
And as we continue to experience rainy days, it's helpful to have these essentials to stay healthy, snug and comfortable during the downpour:
✔️ Umbrella: Stay-dry comfort
Of course, number one on the list is an umbrella. If I would look at the bags of most Filipinos, I’ll most likely find an umbrella. It’s like a trusty sidekick in the crazy weather rollercoaster we experience daily. One minute, we’re under the scorching heat, and the next, we could be caught in a downpour with gusty winds. Having an umbrella on hand keeps me prepared for whatever weather surprise comes my way.
✔️ Tea: A cup of warmth
There's nothing quite like wrapping my hands around a warm mug of tea as the rain taps against the windowpane. The soothing warmth of tea instantly makes me feel snug and content, making it the ultimate comfort drink for gloomy weather. I always choose a selection of soothing herbal teas such as chamomile, lavender, or ginger, which not only provide warmth but also have calming and digestive properties. Sometimes, I add some honey or lemon for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor!
✔️ Soup: Comfort food for the soul
For many Filipinos, soup has always been a comfort food especially during the rainy days. Whether it's the beloved Filipino classics like sinigang, tinola, or bulalo, or a simple yet heartwarming bowl of pumpkin soup, these have always been a go-to choice for me especially when I want some warmth!
✔️ Essential oils: Aromatherapy for comfort
Call me a tita but I love indulging in essential oils. These tiny miracles are made from plant extracts, and they have the power to turn my day around with just a sniff! Lavender essential oils can help reduce stress, while eucalyptus essential oils can provide relief from congestion, making it easier to breathe in the damp weather. It’s great as a sleep aid, too!
✔️ Essential vitamins and medicines: Defense and immunity booster
No rainy-day care package is complete without essential vitamins and medicines. It’s wise to have them on hand during days when I’m feeling under the weather. This rainy season, I make sure I always have Sodium Ascorbate, Paracetamol, Lagundi, Twinnings Green Tea because they treat fevers, coughs and colds and help us all, especially my loveones feel better faster. And to make sure I have ample supply of quality and affordable generic medicines and vitamins, I always go to Generika Drugstore.
Through its house brand products Actimed Generics and Nutrawell Supplements, Generika Drugstore makes flu and allergy relief medications accessible and affordable.
With these rainy-day essentials, ramdam ko ang ginhawa ngayong tag-ulan, ramdam ko pa ang ginhawa sa bulsa with the vitamins and medicines from Generika Drugstore!
