News India Live, Digital Desk: The month of January is going on and this cold of 2026 is now showing its true nature. I don’t feel like leaving the bed early in the morning and the room feels like an icy cave. Many people resort to electric heater to keep the house warm, but it has two major disadvantages, first, it absorbs moisture from the air, which causes skin and respiratory problems, and second, huge electricity bill. So can the house be kept warm without a heater? The answer is yes! There are some things present in our homes, whose proper use can give us relief even in this severe cold. Let us know some such ‘Natural Jugaad’.1. Make full use of sunlight, this is the oldest and most effective method. As soon as the sun rises in the morning, open all the windows and doors of your house and remove the curtains. The sun’s rays heat the walls and floors of the house from inside. In the evening, before the sun sets, close the windows tightly, so that the heat gained throughout the day gets trapped inside the house.2. Spread carpet or thick rug on the floor. If your house has tiles or marble floor, then it becomes very cold. When you walk barefoot, it absorbs all the heat from your body. Try to keep a rug, carpet or an old thick blanket on the floor during these winter months. It acts as an insulator and keeps the floor warm.3. Heavy and dark colored curtains are not just for beauty. Use heavy fabric and dark colored curtains in winter. These do not allow even the slightest cold air coming from the windows to enter. At night they act like a wall and prevent the heat of the room from escaping.4. Fill the cracks of doors and windows: Often we do not realize that cold air is ‘secretly’ coming in from under the door or from the side of the window. For this, you can roll old clothes into a round and keep them under the door. Or you can use ‘Draft Stopper’. When the cold air from outside does not come in, the temperature of the room will automatically increase.5. Kitchen magic: Use the warmth of the kitchen in winter. When we make tea or cook anything, a slight warmth spreads throughout the house. After cooking, leave the heat of the gas stove in the room for some time. Additionally, keeping hot water bottles by the bed while sleeping helps in getting a restful sleep throughout the night without the need for a heater. Our opinion: To fight cold, natural and traditional methods work better in the long run than mechanical ones. These are not only light on your pocket but also safe for your health. Try making these small changes in your home today, you will feel the difference yourself.
