Folk remedies for the common cold: foreign and domestic

If you get a cold, then do not immediately run to the pharmacy and choose expensive drugs there. In this article, the most popular folk remedies from the common cold are collected, not only traditional domestic, but also foreign.

Bath for feet

This procedure is very popular in Northern Europe. In the tank, pour water, the temperature of which is thirty-seven degrees, and then gradually add hot water until the legs can withstand the temperature. This improves the blood supply to the mucosa in the nose. Our domestic addition of this procedure is a few spoons of dry mustard into the water. And the useful effect will be much more noticeable!

Salt with lemon

What helps with the common cold is also known in Romania. Squeeze half a lemon and dilute the juice with a teaspoon of salt and fifty grams of water. The resulting mixture is poured into a pipette and dripped into the nose. Treatment is quite extreme and unpleasant, but you can cure a cold in two. But be very careful: the mucus from the nose with active marking has the opportunity to get into the auditory tube, and this is the right way to acute otitis.

Horseradish

There are originally Germanic remedies for the common cold. The most popular of them looks like this: rub horseradish with sugar and apple, and then use the resulting mixture one tablespoon several times a day. The horseradish contain substances that destroy harmful bacteria and viruses. At the same time, unlike onions or garlic, it is positively perceived by the body, without destroying the bacteria of the intestinal flora.

Herbal Treatment

Their funds from the common cold were also among North American Indians. They used the plant bones. It contains elements that can activate the forces of the immune system. You can buy the plant at the pharmacy. The recipe is as follows: a couple of teaspoons of herbs pour half a liter of cooled boiled water and insist four hours. Take one hundred milliliters ten minutes before meals three to four times a day.

All these funds from the common cold are widely spread abroad, but we have very different ways of doing things.

Soap

Strangely enough, few people know about this simplest, seemingly, tool. Take the usual laundry soap, moisten your finger, soak it, and then carefully lubricate the nasal cavity - the deeper, the better. Repeat the procedure three times a day.

Kerosene

Everyone probably knows about the benefits of mustard in the treatment of the common cold, but few people know that kerosene has such an effect! Naturally, you do not need to drink it. Before going to bed, lubricate their feet, and also attach a rag soaked in kerosene to them, and put on woolen socks. In the morning you will be much better.

"Diphenhydramine"

This remedy will cure you in just two days! Take a quarter of the tablet, crush it and add a little water to get a viscous, thick enough gruel. After that, blow your nose well, and then lubricate the mixture of "Diphenhydramine" and water with the nasal cavity. It will be strongly burned, so keep a baby cream ready and, if necessary, brush your nose, or irritation will appear.

There is another way associated with "Dimedrolus." Add in two hundred grams of water one ampule of this substance and two tablets of "Furacilin". This solution is poured into the pipette and drip as often as possible. Unlike the first remedy, this option is painless, besides, it is quite easy. But it is necessary to do the procedures quite often - initially every fifteen minutes, gradually increasing the interval between receptions. In three days you will feel better.

Coryza - it seems not such a terrible disease, but, nevertheless, it is better to turn to a good doctor, because a stuffy nose can signal about very serious gaps in the body, which are not limited to a common cold. And be careful with self!
