Cold & Flu
The Common Remedies for The Annoying Cold &
Flu?
I believe that all of us, at one time or other, have suffered
from cold and flu. There isn’t one human being in this
whole wide world who has never had cold. Everyone knows how
miserable it feels when this ailment strikes and that it will
definitely last 3-7 days whether you take any medicine or
you don’t.
If your grandmother is around, she might rub your body, or
at least your hands and feet, with eucalyptus oil, which is
excellent to fighting flu. There are certain over-the-counter
drugs which attack all the aches provoked by a bout of cold
and flu, such a s bodyache, headache, running nose, sore throat
and watery eyes.
There are so many medicines in the market which can help
you to put you back onto your feet within one day flat; and
they do it too.
However, this is not the best way to treat the cold and flu.
When you use these medicines which cure you within half-a-day
or one day, it is actually suppressing the ailment into a
passive mode. It is like, you solved the problem today, but
set up a volcano inside your body, ready to burst at any time.
When, next time, you fall prey to a cold and flu bout, you
should let it run its course. It will get out of your system,
if not, it will always attack you and weaken you in the end.
For those who hate medicines, you might want to try the herbal
alternatives. You have syrups, you have along with it, a number
of herbs which are extremely helpful such as astragalus root
which actually is not treating the ailment but prevents it.
For those who suffer from sore throat, you can use a few
basil leaves, two drops of lemon and half tea-spoon of honey.
Then, you can try to fry tiny pieces of ginger in butter and
then put it the mouth sucking slowly its juice. This is an
excellent remedy for cough and sore throat.
The best defense once you have contacted cold and flu, is
always to have plenty of liquids, and plenty of sleep. Herbal
medicines are a means of good tonics and remedies, but they
need to be made to order if you have to depend In the absence
of the other medicines, herbal remedies can be pretty helpful.
Cold and flu has always been a great problem for the humans
to deal with. However, you need not worry though, it is not
serious unless you stop eating and enter into another diseases.
