With increasing air pollution, air purifiers have become a necessity in some cities to ensure that the air inside your home is clean and healthy. Increased air pollution poses health risks, especially to those who are suffering from respiratory issues. Air purifiers pull impure air and use a combination of filters to purify it and push out cleaner air. But choosing the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech-buying-guides/best-air-purifiers-for-home/articleshow/77348375.cms">best air purifier</a> can be a daunting task, especially if you don’t know what type of filter, technology and capacity is good for your use cases. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="83572087" title="Best air purifiers for small rooms in 2021" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> To help you breathe cleaner air, we have compiled a list of the best budget air purifiers in India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How we do our research" comment="subhead" text="How we do our research">How we do our research</cmsannotation> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Our ranking criteria" comment="subhead" text="Our ranking criteria">Our ranking criteria</cmsannotation> We consider each air purifier's features such as air throw, type of filter used, energy consumption, build quality and mobility. Additionally, we also consider other factors such as price and brand. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Things to look for while buying" comment="subhead" text="Things to look for while buying">Things to look for while buying</cmsannotation> Room size The first thing you need to consider is the size of the room where you'll be using the air purifier. Air purifiers are designed to work effectively in specific room sizes, so it's essential to choose a model that can handle the size of your room. Generally, for small rooms of up to 150 square feet, a purifier with a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 100-150 is sufficient. For larger rooms, you'll need a purifier with a higher CADR. Filter type There are several types of filters available in air purifiers, including HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, and ionizers. HEPA filters are the most effective at removing small particles from the air, while activated carbon filters are better at removing odors and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Ionizers release negatively charged ions into the air, which can attach to pollutants and make them easier to capture by the filter. Consider which type of filter is best suited for your needs. Noise level Air purifiers can generate noise while operating, so it's essential to choose a model with a noise level that you're comfortable with. Generally, purifiers with a higher CADR tend to generate more noise, so keep that in mind while making your decision. Energy efficiency Air purifiers consume electricity, so it's important to choose a model that is energy-efficient. Look for models with a high CADR and low power consumption to ensure that you're getting the best value for your money. Maintenance Air purifiers require regular maintenance, including filter replacements and cleaning. Consider the cost and frequency of filter replacements for the model you're interested in and ensure that you're comfortable with the maintenance requirements. Price Budget air purifiers can range in price from a few thousand rupees to tens of thousands of rupees. Determine your budget before making a purchase and look for models that fit within your price range. By considering these factors, you can choose a <keyword id="9786019" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="budget-air-purifier" source="Orion">budget air purifier</keyword> that suits your needs and helps to keep the air in your home clean and healthy. <bulletContentEmbed name="B07JZ94F9C" columns="1"><bulletContentHeading name="B07JZ94F9C_head"> <div type="image" title="Editor&amp;#39;s Pick" msid="84472329" hostid="261"></div></columnHeadThumb>B07JZ94F9C</columnHeadTitle></columnHead></bulletContentHeading><bulleteContentBody name="B07JZ94F9C_body"><bulletContentRow name="B07JZ94F9C_2113329088006239"><bulletContentRowHeading><bulletContentRowHead col="1">Coway Sleek Pro AP-1009 Air Purifier</bulletContentRowHead></bulletContentRowHeading><bulletContentRowBody><bulletContentRowCell col="1">The Coway Sleek Pro AP-1009 Air Purifier features a 3-stage filtration process that includes a pre-filter, a Urethane Carbon filter and a green anti-flu HEPA filter.

This is because the air in a closed room enables potential pollutants to build up more than in open spaces. Other than this, indoor air pollution is amplified by poor ventilation. Meanwhile, individuals can prevent indoor pollution in their surroundings by installing an air purifier. An air purifier will essentially filter any airborne pollutants such as pollen, smoke and dust. India is home to some of the world’s most polluted cities. The country's northern region becomes a gas chamber during this season with hazardous air quality. Cities like Kanpur, Faridabad, Varanasi, Gaya, Patna, Delhi, Lucknow, Agra, Muzaffarpur, Noida, and Gurugram suffer from the worst AQI levels; above 400 AQI. That means the people living in these cities rarely get 'healthy' (AQI 0-50) air to breathe. As per <a href="https://www.airvisual.com/world-most-polluted-cities">AirVisual's</a> report, it's only China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India that contribute to the world's 50 most polluted cities. Since air pollution has become a chronic issue with no long-term remedy, state and central governments are taking several measures like relocating industries away from cities, using greener technologies, giving a push to electric vehicles, and others. The current market is full of air purifiers but you won’t be able to beat the indoor air pollution if you buy the wrong machine. So understanding the size of room, technology used and other similar factors become essential when buying air purifier for your home. Here’s how to find the best purifier for your home. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Things to consider before buying" comment="subhead" text="Things to consider before buying">Things to consider before buying</cmsannotation> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Technology used" comment="subhead" text="Technology used">Technology used</cmsannotation> The very first thing is to identify the problem; there can be a presence of allergens indoors or some microbes or others. Each problem has a precise solution which can be only tackled through specific technology. An air purifier uses two purification technologies - active air purification, in which air is purified by dispersing healthy cleaning agents into the air, and other passive air purification, in which air is channelized through filters to capture pollutants or microbes. If neutralizing of microbes is required, then passive air purification will not work; this is where active air purification technology comes into action. REME (Reflective Electro-Magnetic Technology) and PHI (Photohydroionization) are examples of active air purification technologies, and PRE (pre-filters), Active Carbon, and HEPA filters are examples of passive air purification. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Type of filters" comment="subhead" text="Type of filters">Type of filters</cmsannotation> With the advancement of technology, a diverse range of filters equipped with new technologies is now accessible. The pollutant types that are blocked by the filters are dust, tobacco smoke, pollen, smoke, pet allergens, dust mite allergens, 2.5-micron particles, and 0.1 microns particles. Some of the most common air filters to look for when choosing an air purifier are Pre-filters. <ul><li>Pre-filters: Before the final filtering, the pre-filters remove large particles like hair and other small particles. This type of filter needs to be cleaned and replaced every three months.</li></ul><ul><li>HEPA filters: HEPA filters, which are known as High- Efficiency Particulate Air Cleaner filters tend to eliminate pollen, mold spores, and dust particles. These filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.</li></ul><ul><li>Activated carbon filters: Air purifiers with activated carbon filters neutralize food and chemical odors.</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Cost of filters" comment="subhead" text="Cost of filters">Cost of filters</cmsannotation> Other than the type of filters, consider the price of replacement filters. Usually, you need to change the air filter at least in every three months when you use it constantly. The cost of replacement filters can be high as ₹5000-₹7000 for air purifiers with HEPA filters. Other than this, filters for low-cost air purifiers will cost you between ₹1000-₹2000. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Coverage area" comment="subhead" text="Coverage area">Coverage area</cmsannotation> This is one of the most important factors to consider when buying an air purifier, here are a few things to keep in mind. <ul><li>It is advisable to select an entry-level air purifier for a room measuring up to 299 square feet. You can get one under ₹15000.</li><li>If you want an air purifier for 300 to 699 square feet of room, then the medium or large size air purifier will do the job. It will cost over ₹20000.</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Air delivery rate" comment="subhead" text="Air delivery rate">Air delivery rate</cmsannotation> The efficiency of an air purifier depends on the volume of air to be cleaned and the speed of air intake and throw. Air purifiers with less coverage and CADR (clean air delivery rate) will work for a smaller areas. But if you are looking for an air purifier for a big room, then go for a purifier with more coverage and CADR. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Level of noise" comment="subhead" text="Level of noise">Level of noise</cmsannotation> It is one of the most ignored but important factors which you need to consider. The noise levels in air purifiers vary with fan speed, so keep an eye on that. It’s likely that you’ll be using it throughout, so it is important to go for the one that is silent. The ideal air purifier should have a noise level of ‘20-40dB or 50-70dB.’ <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Warranty and customer service" comment="subhead" text="Warranty and customer service">Warranty and customer service</cmsannotation> When buying an air purifier, the buyer should conder the product’s after-sale service. This becomes important because filter cleaning and replacement is required in every 12 to 18 months. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Smart features" comment="subhead" text="Smart features">Smart features</cmsannotation> Modern air purifiers are loaded with a plethora of features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, touch-sensitive controls and more. They can be controlled through your smartphone and give you real-time data of AQI levels in your room. Other than these, you can get detailed insight into filter health, air quality, temperature and more. Here are some air purifier recommendations based on the room size. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000

Looking for the best air purifier? Here’s everything you must know before buying one

<ul><li>Livpure, a 2012-company known for Air Conditioners and Water Purifiers, has forayed into the <keyword id="10332367" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="sleep-and-wellness-category">Sleep and Wellness category</keyword>. </li><li>We speak to Pritesh Talwar, CEO of Livpure, to find out about the challenges of launching during a global pandemic, plan to face existing competition in the category of mattresses, rising demand for Ayurveda and vision for the newest venture. </li></ul>When the whole brandverse was shifting its marketing monnies from traditional to digital mediums and shutting their stores during the lockdown, Livpure was testing the waters to launch a new product range. It realised that people are going to be stuck at homes for a longer period of time and home products are its specialty. So, it thought it would be the right time to offer a product that would make relaxing easier for consumers, remind them to maintain a proper sleep routine and eventually help them cope with stress, handle anxiety, concentrate and stay optimistic. After putting in almost two years of research, 8-year-old Air Conditioners and Water Purifiers company officially announced its entrance into the Sleep and Wellness category recently. Pritesh Talwar, CEO, Livpure, said, “There are a few facets of the business that are our guiding force. One of them is around health and wellness in general. The other two are around innovation, change and eco-consciousness. And in today’s fast-paced world, life is getting more hectic while sleep is becoming more disturbed. A lot of us do not know the consequences of less than ideal sleeping experiences over a prolonged period of time. However, this can cause several lifestyle ailments like backaches, anxiety, impaired immunity, etc. With <keyword id="10332366" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="livpure-sleep">Livpure Sleep</keyword>, we have introduced products including memory foam mattresses and pillows that together create the perfect environment for you to sleep like a baby!” Since Livpure already existed in the home segment, Sleep and Wellness, as Talwar said, was an interesting extension to look at. He said, “We eventually want to get to a platform where a lot of these smart devices (Water Purifier, AC, Mattresses) are talking to each other. It's an aspirational state. Given we are in the home category, we understand a little bit about the dynamics, we do have a very strong dealer distributor network, we thought that it would be a good experiment or a good business to look at. And the more we dug in, the more the principles not only on the product side, but also the principles of the brand aligned with this segment.” But why did the brand take so long to launch its products? Talwar said arranging resources was a challenge during the lockdown. “We have been working on internal R&amp;D for about two years. Our plan was actually announced earlier but given the corona situation, a lot of strategic projects got pushed out. That's why we started in July. As you know, the money is not sitting in the bank, we have to liquidate different things and find different ways to invest money in this particular segment. Across the industrial sector, there was a lot of liquidity crunch. So, investments were stuck and projects were not getting close or revenue was not achieved. So we had to delay the launch. But R&amp;D continued on a smaller scale. So we were able to at least crack a few interesting cloud projects, like the hybrid mattress, or the carbon pillow that you launched a couple of weeks back,” said Talwar. Adding to the other challenges that Livpure had to face to set up its business extension, Talwar said, “We are building a new segment, which we want to be a core segment, in addition to scaling it at the same time. So in the first two or three months, our focus was to get some of the product landing on the platform, figure out the back end, which is operations and supply chain. We didn't really push hard on creating a buzz per se. We were doing soft launches through our own Marketing Channels but most recently, we signed up with Sachin Tendulkar. He will be endorsing our three businesses as well. So that will be a more soft launch for at least the remaining part of November and December. And then we'll do a little bit more detailed launch at some point early next year.” Marketing Plan Livpure smartly soft-launched the product into the market in June when lockdown was still in place through e-commerce and started creating a little noise in the market in September. The brand is planning to go slow this year and will increase its marketing noise in 2021 with brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. It has already allocated four different warehouses for its Sleep business in India and all of this amid a global pandemic. It also acquired 10,000 users for Livpure Sleep. “I would say we have about 10,000 customers already in the last four months or so. And we are definitely experiencing double digit growth. And for the next four or five months, we plan to keep growing at least 40%,” shared Talwar. Livpure has started by targeting metro and Tier-I cities but would eventually go deeper into the market. Talwar said, “We are not going for a complete mass market. So we really do not sell below Rs 4,500 price point. But we will definitely go mass-premium. Later, once we start going offline, which is the 90% of the market in the sleep category, we have to go upstream and downstream. So then everyone who needs a mattress sort of falls into that bucket.” Organised and unorganised put together, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/advertising/brands/article/centuary-mattresses-aims-to-expand-its-market-share-to-13-in-fy21-perform-even-better-than-last-year/articleshow/78623442.cms">mattress </a>industry in India is currently worth Rs 10,000 crore and only about 40% of the market is occupied by organised players like Wake.fit, Centuary Mattresses, Duroflex who offer more affordable options. Talwar is optimistic that their expertise in innovation and home products will give Livpure an edge. “We have a little bit of legacy because of Livguard and the brand is already known in the market. If you look at our recent water purifiers, some of them are very innovative and one in a kind. So people understand and associate the brand with credibility and longevity. We are trying to hit that same note with our products -- not only via the legacy but if through our products and our own unique value proposition. So, at the end of the day, we want the product to talk. We spend a lot of time on R&amp;D for each and every product and we tailor that to the key pain point of the customer suffering. And then get it in the right price point. So a lot of our products are very price competitive but we offer a lot more value in that product,” said he. Demand for immunity-based products Livpure announced its new product range launch with Ayurvedic Mattresses, a space it always wanted to experiment with. Ayurveda has also been the hot topic of discussion in 2020, much due to its usefulness as an immunity booster against COVID. So much so, that recently, The Rajya Sabha passed the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Bill, 2020. Telling us the thought behind launching Ayurveda mattresses first, Talwar said, “Ayurveda is something that we were looking at, to introduce in some of our products. It has already entered various segments like food or cosmetics. So there was a white space we observed and especially in India, that there is no Ayurvedic influence in the sleep product category, you might find supplements but there is no product. So there was an opportunity we noticed in this category. And I think there's also growth in a consumer who is interested in organic and natural products. We have been observing that trend also. So those two reasons and it's all about timing. Aligning these two ideas, we thought that was a good time to start testing on the product. So the development has been happening for more than a year. We have also filed a utility patent for this product.” It will eventually launch more eco-friendly products and smart mattresses that can adjust its temperature automatically by analysing customer’s changing body temperature. Vision for the brand The company will continue to launch more environmentally-friendly products and building a safer world for the future generations. Sharing his vision for Livpure Sleep, Talwar said, “For our sleep segment, I would say that in the next three years, the guidance from our chairman, Mr. Rakesh Malhotra, Chairman and Founder of Livpure, is to make our category into the top five businesses in the country. So that's the target. We are not here to be small players. We have been investing not only in R&amp;D budgets but we have Sachin onboard as well. So we are going to be among the top five players in the 3 next years as we grow.” Livpure will also focus on increasing its offline presence by targeting one regional base in 2021, starting with metro cities.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The best way to stop a cough at home is to drink hot tea with lemon and honey. </li><li>Other home remedies to stop coughing include gargling saltwater or consuming thyme.</li></ul>Coughing is a natural reflex that occurs when something irritates your throat or airways. Occasional <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/cough/basics/definition/sym-20050846" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coughs</a> are normal and even healthy as they help the body flush out built-up mucus and debris. However, that doesn't make them any less painful or exhausting. The most <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/cough/basics/causes/sym-20050846" target="_blank" rel="noopener">common causes</a> of coughing are: <ul><li>Irritation from sources like cigarette smoke or pollutants </li><li>Bacterial infections like bronchitis or <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/sinus-infection-vs-cold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sinusitis</a></li><li>Allergies</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/types-of-asthma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asthma</a></li><li>Viral illnesses like the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/cold-vs-flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cold or flu</a></li></ul>Coughs caused by asthma, infections, and allergies should be treated by a healthcare provider. However, if your cough continues to linger after a viral infection or is the result of irritation, here are thirteen tips to help treat it at home. <h2>1. Take honey</h2><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/benefits-of-honey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Honey</a> is highly viscous and works similarly to a cough drop. When it is consumed, it coats the lining of the throat, alleviating <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/treatments/sore-throat-remedies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soreness</a> or scratchiness. Most types of honey that are studied for use in coughs are dark honey, like dark buckwheat honey, rather than the more commonly available clover honey.According to a 2020 <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32817011/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">systematic review and meta-analysis</a> of 14 studies, honey was a superior option for improving upper respiratory infections symptoms, such as coughing. Honey also has anti-inflammatory, <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-are-antioxidants-good-for" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antioxidant</a>, and <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31294240/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antibacterial properties</a> — which may contribute to its relieving effect. These properties help fight off infections and can <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-boost-immune-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boost your immune system</a>. While you can consume honey plain, adding it to warm tea may increase its soothing effect on the throat. Quick tip: Children under the age of one shouldn't take honey, because it can contain bacteria that cause infant <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-botulism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">botulism</a>, a rare but life-threatening illness.<h2>2. Gargle saltwater </h2>Gargling salt water <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26895293.2021.1893834" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can help kill bacteria</a> and loosen mucus in your throat. Loosening mucus in your throat will help clear your sinuses and get rid of your cough faster. A saltwater gargle can also help reduce swelling and irritation caused by persistent coughing.Although most people prefer to gargle warm salt water, cold water may have the same relieving effect on your cough. "It really just depends on what feels best to the particular person to soothe the cough that they have," says <a href="https://medicine.tamu.edu/faculty/mcknight.html#education-and-focus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason McKnight</a>, MD, clinical professor at Texas A&amp;M University. Though, warm water may help the salt dissolve faster. Note: For best results, add <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/in-depth/cold-remedies/art-20046403" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one-fourth to half</a> a teaspoon of salt to an eight-ounce glass of water. <h2>3. Try ginger</h2><a href="https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/ginger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ginger</a> is a tropical plant commonly used as a dietary supplement. It can help treat various health issues including <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/home-remedies-for-nausea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nausea</a>, the <a href="https://www.insider.com/common-cold-symptoms-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">common cold</a>, or chemotherapy symptoms. Like honey, the bioactive compounds in ginger have <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6616534/#B2-foods-08-00185" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antioxidant, antimicrobial, and</a> anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger also has a spicy taste, which <a href="https://www.wired.com/2010/09/why-does-spicy-food-taste-hot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stimulates saliva production</a>, and can help improve a dry mouth or throat. McKnight says reactions to consuming spices, herbs, and spicy foods may vary between people who have a cough. For some, it may be helpful, but for others, it can cause further irritation and worsen your hacking. Most people consume ginger via fresh or dry ginger root, though, you can also take it as a supplement in either a capsule or tincture formulation. For added cough-relieving capabilities, try adding ginger and honey to your tea.<h2>4. Breathe in steam </h2>Breathing in steam helps <a href="http://www.ipswichandeastsuffolkccg.nhs.uk/Portals/1/Content/Members%20Area/Clinical%20Area/Medicine%20managment/Self%20care%20and%20patient%20information%20leaflets/self%20care_cough%20and%20colds.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loosen nasal congestion</a>. This will make blowing your nose easier and, if you're experiencing post-nasal drip, release built-up mucus in the throat. Because steam can <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-get-rid-of-a-sore-throat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moisturize a sore throat</a>, it may also provide pain relief. For temporary relief, try breathing in steam from a boiling pot of water. Once the water begins to produce steam, take it off the stove, and place your face above it. Drape a towel over your head to help trap the steam, but be careful not to get too close or you may burn yourself. You can also get a similar effect by taking a hot shower. Quick tip: To avoid risk of burns, make sure to keep your distance from the steam so that it's not directly hitting your skin from a close distance.<h2>5. Get a humidifier </h2><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/humidifier-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A humidifier</a> may also be a good option to help keep your sinuses clear during the winter or if you live in a dry climate. Humidifiers add moisture to the air by emitting water vapor or steam into a room. The size of your humidifier will determine how much area it will cover. McKnight says they usually only add enough moisture for one room, so it is best to keep it in a place where you spend the majority of your time, such as the bedroom. If you do use a humidifier, be sure to change the water frequently and <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/how-to-clean-a-humidifier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep it clean</a> so you don't accidentally end up spreading mold or bacteria around your home.<h2>6. Invest in an air purifier </h2><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-air-purifier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Air purifiers</a> help remove allergens from your home that trigger sneezing, coughing, and a runny nose. They work by moving the air in your home through a series of filters that clear mold, bacteria, or dust — producing fresh, clean air.McKnight says that air purifiers may be especially helpful for people who suffer from <a href="https://www.insider.com/seasonal-allergies-symptoms-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seasonal allergies</a>. Like humidifiers, air purifiers tend to be effective in just one room, so remember to place it wisely. It's also important to regularly clean purifiers to ensure the filters work properly. <h2>Best air purifiers</h2><div type="image" title="Five air purifiers arranged on the floor side by side that were used for testing in the best air purifiers in 2022." height="2680" width="3573" msid="95696846" hostid="261" sizebytes="323434"></div>An air purifier can be an essential addition to your home to help mitigate allergies.

The roots and leaves of marshmallow contain a thick substance called mucilage. When mixed with water, mucilage forms a gel-like texture that can coat the throat, much like honey. A 2018 <a href="https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/489560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> published in Complementary Medicine Research with over 800 participants found that both lozenges and marshmallow root extract helped treat dry coughs. Most participants saw their symptoms improve within 10 minutes of taking the extract.Marshmallow root is available in dried leaf form, teas, tinctures, or capsules.<h2>8. Consume thyme </h2>Thyme is an herb thought to soothe smooth muscle spasms, including those caused by coughing. Thyme potentially has antifungal and antispasmodic properties, which could help fight infections and coughs. According to a <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34340607/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 study</a> of 750 patients with a cough in Germany, 90% saw an improvement in cough severity when taking a thyme/ivy liquid supplement.<h2>9. Drink water</h2>One of the easiest and safest ways to improve your cough is to stay hydrated. Drinking water helps <a href="https://www.hopkinsallchildrens.org/ACH-News/General-News/Managing-Cold-and-Flu-Season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thin mucus</a>, allowing it to leave the body through your mouth or nose. It can also help those who are sick replace lost fluids from sweating or having <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-get-rid-of-a-runny-nose" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a runny nose</a>.<h2>10. Take probiotics</h2><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/probiotics/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Probiotics are live bacteria and microorganisms</a> said to greatly benefit digestion and gut health. When taken as a daily supplement or through increasing dietary intake of natural sources such as yogurts and cheeses, they can help restore balance within your body, especially whilst fighting illness. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36001877/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A 2022 study </a>investigating the impact of probiotics on upper respiratory infections found that when taken on a regular basis, probiotics can significantly reduce symptoms such as coughing in individuals of all ages. <h2>11. Eat pineapple </h2>Not only delicious, pineapple is also the ultimate addition to your diet when you're looking for something nutritious. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5707683/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Containing vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium </a>pineapple helps to boost your immune system by fueling your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Also containing <a href="https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/bromelain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bromelain</a>, an enzyme that is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, it is said that pineapple aids in the reduction of inflammation within the respiratory system. <h2>12. Try slippery elm </h2>Found within the inner bark of the ulmus rubra tree, commonly found within North America, slippery elm <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265058434_Slippery_Elm_its_Biochemistry_and_use_as_a_Complementary_and_Alternative_Treatment_for_Laryngeal_Irritation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been used</a> for the treatment of sore throats, colds and coughs amongst Native Americans for decades. Getting its name from its slippery and chewy texture, slippery elm contains <a href="https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/herb/slippery-elm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a substance called mucilage</a>, a chemical that, when mixed with water, increases mucus production, which helps to soothe the throat and surrounding tissues. <h2>13. Drink peppermint tea</h2><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/peppermint-oil-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peppermint</a> leaves are famous for their <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16767798/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healing potential</a>. Containing menthol, a natural decongestant, peppermint helps to soothe sore throats and break down excessive mucus production. When consumed in the form of a hot tea, peppermint can also provide you with additional hydration. <h2>14. Use turmeric </h2>Renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/turmeric-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turmeric</a> is used across the globe to treat a variety of ailments, including joint pain, skin disorders and lung irritation. Turmeric's "superpower" comes from the compound curcumin, which is said to be as powerful as <a href="https://drhealthbenefits.com/herbal/herbal-spices/benefits-of-turmeric-water-for-cough" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prescription NSAIDs for relieving inflammation within the body</a> — which could help you heal from a cough. When taking turmeric, it is recommended that you purchase a capsule containing black pepper extract, as, without it, the body is unable to absorb turmeric in large quantities, so the full benefit of the supplement will not be received. <h2>When to see a doctor for your cough</h2><ul><li>Trouble catching your breath</li><li>Coughing up blood or discolored mucus</li><li><a href="https://insider.com/home-remedies-for-fever" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fever</a></li><li><a href="https://insider.com/home-remedies-for-headaches" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Headaches</a></li><li>Persists for several weeks </li></ul>Note: It is not uncommon for a cough to continue even after you stop feeling sick, says <a href="https://health.tamu.edu/care/providers/susan-roberman.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Susan Roberman</a>, MD, a clinical assistant professor at Texas A&amp;M University. <h2>How to prevent coughing</h2>There are a few simple steps you can take to try and fend off a seasonal cough, before it occurs:<ul><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK493221/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Avoid acid reflux triggers</a>. Spicy food, excess grease, alcohol, and eating late at night can trigger acid reflux and worsen your coughing. </li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36001877/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Take care of your gut health</a>. Probiotics and live cultures such as yogurt can help stave off respiratory infections by providing support for your immune system. </li><li><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cough/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Regularly wash your hands</a>. Common viruses and bacteria can often cause coughs and common colds — eliminating these bacteria will help reduce the risk of these germs making you sick. </li></ul><h2>Insider's takeaway</h2>Although some home remedies like drinking tea with honey or gargling warm salt water may help you stop coughing, they won't treat an underlying illness. That's why Roberman advises you to first address any illness or condition that may be causing the cough before working on alleviating the symptoms. "If your cough is caused by smoking or tobacco use, no home remedy is going to help you," says Roberman. Likewise, she says if your cough is the result of allergies, asthma, or an infection, you should try to take medication for the underlying condition before relying on these home remedies.

In an interaction with PTI, Tata Motors Managing Director - Passenger Vehicle and Electric Vehicles Shailesh <keyword id="796" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="chandra" source="Orion">Chandra</keyword> said the price revision would also offset the impact of commodity prices, which have remained high for the most part of the year. "The regulatory change will have its impact on the cost. Even the real impact of softening of commodity prices is only going to come from next quarter and we still have the residual impact of the commodity escalation that we have seen during the year," Chandra said. He noted that even the battery prices have gone up and the same has not been passed on to the market. "So we are evaluating a price increase basis some of the residual effect that is left as far as the commodity prices are concerned. Battery prices and new regulations have also impacted the EV side," Chandra said. Besides, there is a cost involved in making the model range transition to conform to new emission norms, he added. "We are exploring potential price increase next month because of these factors for both ICE and EVs," Chandra said. Tata Motors sells a range of models like <keyword id="5700" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="punch" source="Orion">Punch</keyword>, Nexon, Harrier, and <keyword id="62620" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="safari" source="Orion">Safari</keyword> in the domestic market. It leads the electric vehicle segment with products like Tiago EV and Nexon EV. From April 1, 2023, vehicles will need to have an on-board self-diagnostic device to monitor the real-time driving emission levels. The device will constantly monitor key parts for meeting emission standards such as the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, to keep a close watch on emissions. In a scenario wherein the emissions exceed the parameters, the device will indicate through warning lights that the vehicle should be submitted for service. Additionally, in order to control the level of fuel burnt, the vehicles will also carry programmed fuel injectors, which would control the timing and amount of fuel injected into the petrol engine. Even the semiconductors used by the vehicle will have to be upgraded to monitor throttle, crankshaft positions, air intake pressure, the temperature of the engine, and the contents of the emissions from the exhaust (particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, CO2, Sulphur), etc. Last week, Maruti Suzuki also announced to increase vehicle prices from January.

Musk, who last week released the first episode of 'The Twitter Files' into the controversial decision to suppress Hunter Biden's laptop story on the platform, also nudged his followers to reveal the 'Episode 2 of The Twitter Files', but delayed it, saying he will need more time. Dorsey challenged Musk on Twitter that "if the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now". Musk replied on Thursday: "Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released". The episode 1 of the 'Twitter Files' implicated Vijaya Gadde, the Indian-origin former head of legal, policy and trust at the company, in suppressing US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's laptop story on the platform. Without revealing how he obtained them, independent journalist and author Matt Taibbi shared the 'Twitter Files' on the platform over the last weekend, with an endorsement by Musk. "The decision (to suppress Hunter Biden's laptop story) was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust, Vijaya Gadde, playing a key role," claimed Taibbi. "An amazing subplot of the Twitter/Hunter Biden laptop affair was how much was done without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey," he added. In October 2020, just before the US Presidential elections, Twitter had restricted a New York Post article containing unverified claims about the activities of Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, in Ukraine. Twitter had said that the content violated the company's "Hacked Materials Policy". Dorsey had then tweeted that blocking the content without providing more context was "unacceptable". He was also grilled about the episode before the US Congress in November 2020.

The device requires users to wear six sensors and connect them to a smartphone to create avatars and animated short films. Mocopi comprises six color-coded sensors that go at key parts of a person’s hip, head, wrists, and ankles using a clip or a velcro strap to capture movement using a dedicated smartphone app. With Mocopi, users can control a virtual reality or anime-style avatar in real time to create videos or hang out with people in metaverse services like VRChat. The device is similar to a big Hollywood-style motion capture system but without the need for heavy equipment and operators. According to <a href="https://www.sony.jp/CorporateCruise/Press/202211/22-1129/">Sony</a>, Mocopi will help content creators involved in animation and movie production and facilitate them in developing key areas like fitness, motion capturing and lot more. As per the released video, Mocopi is pretty accurate as the avatar closely follows a person’s motion, from dancing to running and even lip-syncing. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Mocopi: Features" comment="subhead" text="Mocopi: Features">Mocopi: Features</cmsannotation> The sensors measure 32mm in diameter, and they just weigh 8 grams. Sensors are battery-powered and come with a charging case. According to Sony, each sensor has a battery life of up to 10 hours, depending on the usage. They even have IP65 protection to withstand dust and splashes of water. To set up, connect each sensor to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Video recordings will be saved as an MP4 file with 1920 x 1080p resolution and a maximum frame rate of 30fps. Sony will provide a software development kit to create custom avatars on 15th December. Further, motion data can be edited on selected 3D development software like <keyword id="15659215" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="motionbuilder" source="Orion">MotionBuilder</keyword> and Unity game engine. The full list of supported software still needs to be revealed. <div type="image" title="Sony" msid="95879789" hostid="261" sizebytes="24476"></div> Mocopi will be only available in Japan, and it will launch in late January 2023 for 49,500 yen (around $356). Pre-orders will start in mid-December. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Mocopi - future of VR?" comment="subhead" text="Mocopi - future of VR?">Mocopi - future of VR?</cmsannotation> Given features and specifications, Sony’s Mocopi is pretty cool, but it’s way too early to tell that it can convince people to join the Metaverse. The biggest barriers are the lack of a universal compatible app and limited smartphone support. According to Sony, to use Mocopi, Android users must own Sony <keyword id="149355" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="xperia" source="Orion">Xperia</keyword> 5 IV, Xperia 1 IV, Xperia 5 III, Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 II, and Xperia 1 II. Whereas the selection for iOS devices is much wider. Today, most <keyword id="14923602" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ar/-vr" source="Orion">AR/ VR</keyword> headsets involve taking control of users' senses, like hearing and sight, to create an immersive experience. However, Mocopi lack these capabilities. Still, putting Mocopi into the hands of the general public may push the metaverse into the mainstream.
