Rhododendron flower infusions
The Rhododendron flowers make the hills of Uttarakhand red and pink every spring. However, these beautiful flowers, which locals refer to as Buransh, are not only beautiful to look at, but also serve as a form of natural medicine. They have been used by people since ancient times to prepare the Rhododendron Tea.
The rhododendron flowers have been used in old medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Tibetan medicine to treat things such as swelling, coughs, asthma, and tummy problems. Even today, women in mountain villages would carefully gather these flowers and sun-dry them to preserve their good stuff.
