Holi is near. Almost two years after Covid, such an opportunity has come, when people are openly in the mood to play Holi. Meanwhile, cases of increasing Covid cases in China are again in the headlines. If, you have also planned to play Holi fiercely this time, then along with this, consider some important things, so that you and your family do not have to worry about health on the day of Holi or after that. Ayurvedic Dr. Srilalitha Avinash is talking about how to celebrate the festival so that disease does not surround it.

Know the damage caused by colors before playing

Chemical-rich colors and Gulal are available in the market, whose color does not come off easily. Some gulals also contain dust/sand mites, which can cause skin peeling, allergies, itching and redness. In such a situation, first of all, while choosing the colors, pay attention to their quality. If this is not done, the dyes can cause damage to the eyes, lungs, ears, hair and skin. The colors should be such that they come off only after washing with water. Dark colors go from the pores of the skin to the inside of the body and have a bad effect on health. So be careful while buying colors.

How to choose colors to play Holi?

People are excited while playing Holi. Their goal is to choose colors that don’t come off as quickly when washed. When it comes to the safety of yourself and your family, it is important to be careful in the selection of colors. Blue, green, pink and silver are used as wet colors. Instead of such colors, use yellow, light pink Gulal. They are easy to clean and are less harmful to the skin. If a person has brought dark colors for you, then instead of those colors, you give him Gulal, so that he can apply Gulal of your choice.

What to do so that you don’t get sick by playing Holi

• Apply lotion or oil on the face and body early in the morning on the day of Holi.
• Do not wash face with soap immediately after applying color. This makes the skin dry.
• Holi is a festival of meeting, during this time if there is no distance, then at least wear a mask.
• Do not eat anyone’s leftovers. This can be the cause of many infections.
• While applying the color, leave the body loose instead of tight.
• If the color is not coming off, then avoid rubbing the skin of one place again and again.
• Wear full sleeves and length clothes, so that there is minimal color on the skin.
• Lips are dry with colours. To avoid this, apply petroleum jelly for a while.
• If there is a burning sensation on the skin due to colours, then mix curd and turmeric in honey and apply it on the body.
• Apply lotion or oil after bathing, so that the dry skin due to color and soap can be normal.
