Hypothermia often contributes to the occurrence of acute rhinitis or a runny nose. Typically, a runny nose begins with a burning sensation and dryness in the nose, sneezing, headache, and general malaise. Then nasal discharge appears, and nasal breathing is often difficult.

It is very dangerous to start this disease. Official medicine recommends nasal instillation of naphthyzine, sanorin and other medications for acute rhinitis. Traditional medicine offers to treat a runny nose at home with old remedies that are very diverse.

For instillation into the nose, you can prepare the following folk recipes:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed carrot juice
• 1-3 drops of garlic juice

Wash, peel and squeeze carrots. Then mix a tablespoon of carrot juice with the same amount of olive, sunflower, flaxseed or any other vegetable oil, which you must first boil in a water bath. Then add a few drops of garlic juice to the mixture. This mixture must be prepared daily. Instill 3-4 times a day, a few drops in each nostril.

Beet juice is considered to be a very effective remedy for the treatment of rhinitis. Cotton swabs soaked in beet juice help well, which are recommended to be put into the nostrils for 10-15 minutes 3-4 times a day.

You can also use the following instillation infusion: grate the beets on a fine grater and squeeze the juice out of it. Leave it in a warm place overnight. Instill slightly fermented juice into the nose 2-3 drops 3 times a day. You can rinse your nose 2-3 times a day with beet broth.

Aloe and propolis are no less effective in the treatment of rhinitis. Traditional medicine advises: chew for about 15 minutes (but do not swallow!) A small piece of propolis. Then drink the pre-prepared infusion.

It requires the following herbs:

• 2 tablespoons oregano
• 2 tablespoons coltsfoot leaf
• 1 tablespoon of calendula flowers

Please note that oregano is contraindicated during pregnancy, so this recipe for rhinitis treatment is not suitable for everyone.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, take a tablespoon of the collection, fill it with a glass of boiling water, wrap it up and let it brew for an hour. Then strain and drink in one go.

You can also prepare the following instillation:

• 2 tablespoons of carrot juice
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of propolis with alcohol

Mix freshly made carrot juice, honey and propolis alcohol tincture. Instill the mixture several times a day, 3 drops in each nostril.

Instilling aloe juice helps a lot. To do this, tilt your head back and drip 3-5 drops of aloe juice into each nostril. Then be sure to massage the wings of the nose. Perform the procedure 4-5 times a day.

With a chronic rhinitis, an infusion made from horseradish, garlic and black radish helps perfectly.

To prepare it, take:

• 6 tablespoons horseradish
• 5 tablespoons of garlic
• 1 tablespoon black radish
• 0,8 liters of wine vinegar

Peel horseradish, garlic and black radish, grate or pass through a meat grinder and grind into gruel. Pour wine vinegar (fermented dry wine), well seal the dishes with infusion and put in a cool dark place for 10 days. Remember to shake the contents periodically. After this time, pour out a small amount of the infusion and sniff it daily for 3 minutes, and also lubricate the nose outside and inside with a cotton swab dipped in this liquid 3 times a day.

Foot baths with mustard, baking soda, or salt should not be given to people with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, varicose veins, and kidney disease

An excellent remedy for a cold is a hot foot bath with the addition of mustard powder (in a proportion of 1 tablespoon of dry mustard to 5–8 liters of water). You can also take a bath with table salt or baking soda. Do this procedure before bed, and immediately after the bath, be sure to put on warm, preferably woolen socks.

An ancient folk remedy for colds, which helps to quickly cope with an illness, is to hold vodka in your mouth for 10-15 minutes. At this time, lower your legs to your knees in warm salt water. Then drink 2 cups of hot mint tea with raspberry jam and go to bed with a wool hat or a downy shawl tied over your head.

Kerosene or iodine compresses are also considered a quick way to cure a cold. Soak a cloth in kerosene, put it on your feet, then put on your woolen socks, wrap yourself up well and go to bed. If there is no kerosene, lubricate your heels with iodine at night, put on warm socks and go to bed. You will feel much better in the morning.
