The cold season has already begun. Someone hopes that the infection will bypass him, someone buys expensive drugs and even drinks them for prevention, and we will tell not about ours, but about folk remedies to fight colds and flu.
Apple cider vinegar.
An interesting new panacea, which is now recommended to be consumed as a dietary supplement to improve metabolism and detoxification. Well, for our purposes, this recipe will suit us: two tablespoons of vinegar per cup of boiling water. If you don't like the sharp taste of the drink — add a little honey. This drink should help get rid of cough. Inhaling vapors during consumption is also useful, helping to eliminate pain and inflammation in the respiratory tract.
Garlic.
There is no need for representations and will ensure both the killing of the virus and the reduction of the duration of the disease. Moreover, it can be used in different forms. However, especially hardy people believe that raw and whole teeth work better, because they smell stronger.
Ginger.
It is eaten not only from sushi (and I love it like no other seasoning at all), and, as studies show, ginger has a diaphoretic effect and contains particles that cope especially well with acute respiratory infections. Don't be surprised that the temperature will rise — as intended. Ginger can also be consumed in various forms, but during illness, it is probably better in the form of a hot (and spicy) drink. Note that ginger «dilutes» blood, be careful.
Green tea.
Having come to replace black, this drink removes toxins, improves metabolism, and in combination with a slice of lemon and a spoonful of honey, it turns into a good help in combating sore throat, and supports the body by cleansing it. Note that green tea is not recommended for children.
Chicken broth.
The good old recipe is not garbage at all. The broth contains substances to fight sputum, warms and gives energy, and the vegetables that you add supplement it with vitamins and trace elements. And, oddly enough, he does not become nasty even during the great cold.
Rest.
Even if you don't think so, during the illness your body is constantly working, fighting viruses and microbes. To help him in this fight, you'd better rest more often. This will reduce the total time of your disability.
Water.
We need it no less than air, perhaps, especially when you sweat, getting rid of viruses, you need liquid to effectively remove toxins.
