بخار ہونا

문화적 배경

When someone has a fever, it's common to offer 'Joshanda', a traditional herbal tea made of licorice, hyssop, and other herbs. It is the most trusted home remedy. The concept of 'Pattiya rakhna' (cold compresses) is very common. Family members will sit by the sick person and change wet cloths on their forehead to bring the temperature down. Fever is often categorized by 'hot' and 'cold' foods. A person with a fever might be told to avoid 'hot' foods like eggs or fish and eat 'cooling' foods like yogurt or gourd. Poets often use 'Bukhaar' to describe the 'fever of separation' (firaaq ka bukhaar). It implies that being away from a loved one causes a physical, burning illness.
