Natural Cures
The kitchen is like a repository of
natural cures for a number of ailments.
The common cold itself cannot be treated
but its symptoms may be alleviated to
provide relief to the patient. Here
is how to use some standard pantry supplies
to cope with the common cold:
Lemon
Lemon
is rich in vitamin C and increases the
resistance power of the body which can
effectively reduce the duration of the
common cold.
|
Squeeze
the juice of one lemon into a cup
of hot water. One half of a teaspoon
of honey may be added for taste.
Sip this concoction while it is
still hot to soothe a sore throat. |
|
Cut one
lemon into two halves and put both
halves into a jug. Add two tablespoons
of barley and fill the jug with
boiling water. Allow the mixture
to sit overnight and filter this
mixture during the following morning.
Drink the mixture throughout the
day. |
|
Pour some
water into a pan and add sugar and
lemon rinds. Boil the mixture until
the sugar dissolves completely.
Let the mixture cool and proceed
to strain. Add lemon juice and sip
the mixture throughout the day. |
Garlic
Garlic
is a miracle herb with antiseptic and
antispasmodic properties. It contains
oil that can help to open up respiratory
passages and relieve the severity of
the common cold.
Here
is how garlic can be used:
|
Pour
a cup of water into a pan and add
three or four cloves of chopped
garlic. Boil this mixture and add
lemon juice and honey if desired.
This may help to lower a fever.
|
|
Add a few
drops of garlic oil to one teaspoonful
of onion juice. Dilute this solution
by adding one cup of water. |
Ginger
Ginger
is an effective remedy for colds and
for fevers that result from colds.
 |
Prepare
a decoction by cutting ten grams
of ginger into small pieces and
boiling the pieces in one cup of
water. Strain the mixture and add
one half of a teaspoon of sugar
or honey. This decoction should
be consumed while hot. |
|
Ginger tea,
prepared by adding fresh ginger
or a pinch of dry ginger powder
into boiled water before adding
the tea leaves, is also an effective
treatment for the common cold. |
Echinacea
Echinacea
is a natural herb that is known to have
antiviral effects and strengthen the
immune system. Echinacea may be consumed
as a tea or as a pill, and if taken
in pill form the daily dosage should
not exceed 500 milligrams.
