Natural help with colds
Sniff? Nose dripping, eyes tears, feeling of cotton wool in the ears, headache? There are already many posts on TheFruitAndFlowerBasket, so I only refer to what has not been said so far.
The folk wisdom states that a cold with medical help lasts for a week and without a doctor, 7 days. This wisdom is absolutely correct, because the pathogens are mostly viruses! Antibiotics help, but specific or broad just against bacteria !!! Green or yellow sputum is just as little as prophylaxis, a reason to use these drugs. They simply do not work and contribute to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are an absolute no-go for colds! They are contraindicated and today constitute a treatment error!
Help with colds
I recommend marjoram butter (unguentum majoranae), which can either be purchased as a very expensive finished product or can be prepared by the pharmacist. 20 g cost 2 -3?, As a potty or tube with nasal donor. Vaseline is usually used as a carrier substance. The ointment is introduced into both nostrils by means of dispenser or finger and easily distributed. After about 30 minutes you will feel that your nose root is pleasantly cool. The tears slowly subside and also the cotton wool feeling in the ears should soon subside. The burning in the tip of the nose also decreases and the sneezing reduces significantly. To increase the effect, the marjoram butter should be stored in the refrigerator. The cooling works, as with most inflammations, soothing. Side effect: appetizing. I also know many allergic people who use the marjoram butter symptomatically in their pollen allergy.
Beware of nasal sprays. Prolonged intake may cause rhinitis sicca (dry cold) and addiction.
Finally, a little tip:
Especially children have elevated temperatures (less than 38 ° C, measured rectally). With them, the loss of fluid can be life-threatening. Please do not give your children hot drinks, lemon or carbonated drinks. This unnecessarily irritates the oral mucous membranes and just hurts. Offer them ice cream, in case of need. The protein is the fastest in the body can be converted into energy and it cools the mouth wonderfully. At the same time it is a liquid dispenser.
Get well!
