How to cure a cold without pills: proven folk recipes

– Black radish juice relieves many of the symptoms of a cold (I squeeze it on a juicer along with the peel). About half a liter of juice is obtained from a kilogram of radish. A little salt is added to it so that it does not disappear, and then we put it in the refrigerator. Three times a day, half an hour before meals, you should take a teaspoon, preferably even a tablespoon. Even asthma can be cured in this way. Swelling of the neck and throat is relieved, the condition of the upper respiratory tract is normalized. I think that the rest of the body is not against such a procedure. But most of all can go to others: some do not tolerate the smell of radish. I usually do this procedure when I don’t need to go to work. (Sergey, 44 years old)

– This is an old but very effective recipe for a wet cough. We take one medium-sized onion, cut it finely, put it in a jar, fill it with two tablespoons of honey (it is important that the honey is natural).

– To combat dry cough, you can rub your chest with goat fat or honey at night, then wrap yourself in cellophane or cling film and sleep until morning. Another way to prevent respiratory complications is to drink a glass of warm milk at night. A piece of butter, soda on the tip of a knife and a teaspoon of honey should be dissolved in milk. The drink is not very pleasant to the taste, but within two days it relieves cough and its consequences. (Anna, 26 years old)

– Any type of cough can be cured in one day if you drink a mixture of raw eggs, a tablespoon of vodka, a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of melted butter, a tablespoon of milk, a teaspoon of baking soda on an empty stomach.

– You can permanently get rid of a runny nose or nasal congestion if you perform one procedure. We collect hot water in the bath and put only feet and hands in there! Sit like this for 15 minutes. Problems with a runny nose will stop bothering you after the first time. (Alexander, 57 years old)

– Sinusitis, aggravated during a cold, is perfectly treated in two ways. First, you need to cut onions into half rings, wrap the onion slices with gauze or a bandage, insert the resulting tampons into the nose. This can also help kill a nasopharyngeal infection if you are just getting sick. Secondly, in case of sinusitis, it is necessary to rinse the nose with propolis tincture (you can do it yourself or buy it at the pharmacy) and saline solution: for a glass of warm water – two teaspoons of salt. (Alina, 27 years old)

– Rinsing the nose with a decoction of chamomile helps with a cold. The procedure should be performed every hour with a profuse rhinitis and three times a day with mild congestion. Thus, you can be cured in a couple of days at most. (Irina, 59 years old)

– Mom always gives me a decoction of nettle, elderberry, rose hips and rowan berries or linden tea on the temperature. All herbs can be bought at the pharmacy. The temperature does not drop immediately, but after an hour and a half. But no chemistry. (Vitaly, 23 years old)

– You can bring down the high temperature without resorting to pills. It is enough to make compresses from vinegar. Add three tablespoons of vinegar to a liter of cool water and prepare three handkerchiefs. Wet the handkerchiefs in turn and, without wringing, put them under the armpits and on the forehead. Every two minutes, handkerchiefs should be continuously moistened in water. The temperature will drop sharply within 20 minutes. (Anton, 34 years old)

– I am a doctor myself, but I always use the opportunity not to take pills once again. The temperature can be lowered by rubbing the patient with vodka or alcohol, giving him lingonberry or raspberry juice, preferably more, and wrapping him in a warm blanket so that the patient sweats. Twenty minutes and you’re okay! An old but very effective way. (Love, 28 years old)

– Ice cream relieves sore throat. But they can be treated only if you have tonsillitis and tonsils. With bronchitis, laryngitis and other diseases of the respiratory tract, ice cream can only do harm. (Galina, 34 years old)

– With a sore throat, I dissolve a piece of propolis under the tongue, very small. I also rinse my throat with propolis tincture (also sold at the pharmacy). Propolis kills germs and tightens wounds on the tonsils, which is usually the case with purulent sore throat. You can be cured in a couple of days. (Irina, 29 years old)

– Sore throat relieves dried ginger in sugar. You can buy it on the market or make it yourself – just chop the root thinly, roll it in sugar or honey and leave it for a few days. The effect is amazing, and the taste is simply gorgeous – better than many pills and lozenges for coughs and sore throats. (Elena, 33 years old)

A good and proven way to relieve a sore throat is ice cream!

But there are also folk remedies, which are sometimes not inferior to pharmaceutical drugs in terms of effectiveness. In general, prevention plays an important role, it is better to take care of your health in advance than to be treated later and worry about the consequences. Prevention is not difficult, you just need to spend more time outdoors and take tea with lemon and ginger (for a mug of tea – a slice of lemon and three rings of ginger root 2 mm thick).

If you feel unwell, then first of all organize yourself a bed rest. Don’t overeat; eat something light, like stewed vegetables and some cottage cheese. To fight the flu or colds, the body needs strength, and these forces are also spent on the digestion of food. Take tea with knotweed twice a day – this herb is rich in silicon, which makes blood vessels more elastic and more susceptible to treatment.

For a runny nose, rinsing the nose with a saline solution will help best: for a glass of boiled water – ½ teaspoon of ordinary salt. Inhalation from wormwood in the morning and in the evening helps well: a tablespoon of dry grass per 2 liters of boiling water, cover with a towel and breathe through your nose and mouth. It will also help with coughs.

To dull painful sensations – body aches, headaches, you should fast for a while.

The temperature can be brought down with regular raspberry juice or with the help of urine socks. Cotton cloth should be dipped in baby urine, applied to the feet, wrapped in a bag or film and put on socks – the procedure should be performed at night. This not only lowers the temperature, but also makes the skin of the feet softer and more elastic.
