How to Fight A Cold? 5 Effective Methods

If you have a habit of ill know what a circle in the year, will be useful herein described methods of dealing with a cold.

Colds are not dangerous in itself, and its complications. Often there are complications such as:

 laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx - the voice is lost);
 pharyngitis (sore throat - pain when swallowing, a constant need to clear his throat);
 bronchitis (inflammation of the upper respiratory tract - initially dry racking cough, and then - with phlegm);
 otitis (inflammation of the middle ear - a sharp shooting pain in the ear);
 rhinitis (runny nose);
 angina (or tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils);
 and for severe disease - heart problems.

I'm wondering if there is someone from readers who managed not to have had at least half of the diseases from the list? Answer me! No? Then enter the bout with a cold immediately! The following methods are developed me throughout my years of practice to combat the cold.

1. Urgent action.

For example, if you have wet feet - at once, as soon find yourself at home, first rub the feet with vodka or alcohol, heat them thoroughly and put on dry wool socks. You can stick on the soles of mustard. Now let not such mustard as in Soviet times. They are easier to use, but the packaging has a map of the human body to know where and why they apply. They will be useful not only in the cold.

2. Natural antibiotics.

Onions and garlic - one of the best natural antibiotics. So eat onions and garlic and inhale a couple of onions, especially if you have already appeared cold. Garlic is needed to chew and not swallow, or benefits will not be. And to get rid of the smell, or at least significantly reduce it, rinse your mouth with lemon juice. Near the bed at night, put sliced onion (the smell will bother you only at first, but then you adapt, and even tears are not welling).

3. Drink plenty of water.

Before going to sleep always drink 2 cups of tea with honey or lemon (to enhance the effect can add pepper) or milk with honey. It is necessary that the milk and tea are always hot. Well wrapped up, and try to sleep as long as possible.

4. A hot shower or bath.

At the first sign of disease need to take a hot shower. Try to warm the face, neck and chest. If you allow the heart and not the heat, take a shower instead of a hot bath for 10-15 minutes. Then wipe dry and go to bed, wrapped a blanket, but better - two, under a blanket propoteyte 30-40 minutes. To do this, drink a glass of herb infusion or tea with raspberry, honey and propolis.

5. Sleep, sleep, and sleep again.

It is known that during sleep our bodies recover their strength. Make sure to sleep at least 8-9 hours. Good sleep - that's a good holiday.

So, we'll attack the common cold in three directions:

 Strengthening the army, that is, activate the body's defenses (bath, sleep, honey.)
 Keep the defense-that is, microbes and their products are toxic activity (bath, plenty of drink).
 're Fighting, that is destroying microbes (garlic, onion, propolis).

You probably arose the natural question: is not easier to go to the drugstore and buy some aspirin or Coldrex? It says the mother-laziness. Which is easier: to drink a couple of tasty tablets or drink tea all day, sniff the onion, garlic and honey to eat. But we can not predict how the effervescent tablet and then goes around comes around, that is, if it does not hurt our heart, kidneys, liver, etc. Using folk remedies, you will not only treated, but also strengthens the immune system and replenish your body with vitamins.

Be healthy and not get sick!

Which Treats Diseases of Beetroot?

On the medicinal properties of red beet, available any owner all year round, there are many. And in Russian cuisine it is used very often - in the salad, salads, etc. in borscht But love it, of course, not all. Even among my friends and relatives typed about a dozen people who practically do not eat beets in any form. One does not eat soup, the other does not recognize the herring under a fur coat, a third into his mouth does not take salad, not to mention the salad of beets. I, too, in his youth did not eat beets, perhaps because the extreme north at the time it was brought in either dried or canned. And the salad is not too fond of. Already married, instead of trying to cook cabbage borscht, a soup. But as they say, life will teach.

At the age of thirty-odd years I have overcome various illnesses, most importantly, that had fallen sharply the level of hemoglobin in blood, started anemia. Doctors prescribed different drugs, even prescribed iron powder. But after taking the powder became ill, apparently, the liver begins to "rebel." Poured blood donations twice nearly a liter, and after a while the hemoglobin decreased again to almost half the norm. Constantly dizzy. Who are familiar with the disease as anemia, that I understand. I do not know, whatever it was all over, but one elderly woman, a neighbor in the ward, during my next stay in the hospital advised me to start each day is a red beet in any form. Not all at once I followed her advice, but gradually began to use this valuable vegetable and boiled and raw, and juice with honey. After several months of anemia, I forgot!

It turns out, is not "squeezed", I just did not think about the most valuable medicinal properties of red beet. But another 2.5 thousand years ago the Greek physician Hippocrates include this vegetable in the list of medicinal plants. Even in those times pickled red beets successfully treated infections, fever, skin inflammation, and more. In the 16th century doctor, Paracelsus pioneered beets with blood diseases. In Russia, beets came about in 10-11 centuries and throughout this vegetable crop has spread only in the 14th century, as evidenced by entries in the ledger monasteries books and other written sources.

On the way many diseases puts beet red light - its color pigments - flavonoids. Flavonoids relieve vascular spasms, increase the strength of the capillaries, reduce blood pressure, stimulate the formation of red blood cells. Beet roots contain sugars, organic acids - citric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, protein, pectin, carotene, vitamins C, B1 and B2, P and PP, as well as mineral salts of potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, fluorine, boron, vanadium, iodine, rubidium, and cesium. On the iodine content beet is a leader among vegetables, and therefore widely used in the prevention and treatment of hypothyroidism - thyroid disease, caused by iodine deficiency.

Beetroot has a positive effect on the kidneys and liver, normalizes the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. Due to the content of vitamin U beetroot helps with gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. Diabetics appreciate the beets for the high zinc content, which increases the duration of insulin action. Red-beet kudesnitsa improves memory in atherosclerosis, is used in the treatment of neuroses, insomnia, anemia and hypertension, displays the body of toxins and heavy metals. More recently, in the mid-twentieth century, scientists have found that sugar beet can be successfully used in the treatment of cancer.

And I have a real confirmation of this. One friend of mine about 12 years ago, underwent surgery for cancer of the stomach. There was chemotherapy, very thin woman. Doctors told her husband that year and a half she may live. On a diet advised to eat more beets in any form. All friends and relatives strongly experienced. And she is still alive, and God forbid she has to live, enjoy life. It feeds almost beets and cheese. Eat beets every day in various forms, most often boiled grated, slightly acidified with citric acid and flavor with a drop of vegetable oil. When we get together on a particular occasion, she brings with him or all the same beetroot, or we will (depending on where and how are going to) prepare for her beet salad and spicy cheese.

Unlike other fruits, beets and boiled partly retains its useful properties, due to the stability of pigments - flavonoids. After all, they have anti-cancer activity. Therefore, if a person does not want to eat raw beets or raw juice drink, use boiled. But, of course, to achieve the best results to better prepare the juice of raw beets. Of course, we should observe the following rules. In any case you can not drink just squeezed juice, as it contains volatiles, acting poison a way that may cause nausea, vomiting and general weakness. Prior to the use of the juice should not stand for less than two hours in the refrigerator. To achieve the therapeutic effect of the juice should be taken daily without interruption, for three to four weeks, a glass a day for 10-15 minutes before meals, in the form of slightly warmed. And it can not bind anything or drink. To improve the taste, you can add a little juice black currant juice, pomegranate or cherry, which also contain flavonoids. High blood pressure and cold is very good juice mixed with honey.

As a preventive same purpose, to maintain good health, beets desirable to use at least twice a week. The number of different dishes, based on sugar beet is very diverse, and they have already talked a lot. Here are just a couple of recipes for beets.

1. Beets in apple juice.
Boil the washed, untreated beets for 20 minutes. Cool, clean, cut into thin slices or wedges - as someone like, put in jars, fill with apple juice freshly. Then sterilized in the same way as in canning stewed fruit, depending on the capacity of banks. Can apple juice boil, pour hot, then reduce the time of sterilization, but will reduce the amount of vitamins. Beetroot turns out very tasty, though its winter in soup, although the salad, even though just that.

2. Red beet stew.
4.3 medium beets to boil in their skins for 20 minutes, cool and clean water. Grate on medium or large grater. 2 onions fried in vegetable oil in a pan, add grated to the same beetroot, add a teaspoon of sugar, to taste salt and vinegar or citric acid, and simmer everything together under the cover of another 15 minutes on low heat. This braised beetroot is good as a side dish for cutlets or meat, but you can eat and cold, like caviar.

I wish you all good health!

What Should Be Reserved for the Care of Bed-Patients?

As you know, all kinds of diseases people are not only stifle the elderly, but other ages. At the same person may be bed-patients, and without help he can not do. The causes of these diseases are different. Sometimes the consequences of other diseases, sometimes the consequences of injury or simply old age, disease complications. In all cases, these people are united by the lack of mobility and need our help.

Very often, when there is trouble, people are not prepared. I will not try in this paper to describe all the details, but the basics will share.

So, first of all need to stock up on kindness, compassion, faith, patience, moral and physical forces.

The second thing that is sure to be in demand - it aids and medical supplies necessary for a care for immobile patients.
Auxiliary facilities include waterproof diapers, diapers, cotton, craft.

Now a little about each.

Diapers are needed to insure the sheets from getting wet in unexpected situations in disguise diapers, as well as for under the sheet. Last used to prevent accidental soaking mattress bed. Better suited for this purpose, waterproof diaper 60 x 90 cm for a single bed patient will need no more than 30 pieces. diapers per month.

Diapers contribute to the retention of urine and its resulting odors incontinence. Diapers are divided: the size and the degree of water retention. Information can be obtained from the employee pharmacy where purchased diapers. If the bed patient urinary incontinence, you may need at least 70-90 diapers per month.

Cotton wool swabs used to make that skin treated with camphor spirit.

The vessel is used for reception of urine and emptying of the stomach. By the choice of the vessel must be approached very carefully. The vessel must not be cold. This property is better meets the plastic. Before the ship recommended to heat hot water to body temperature. The shape of the vessel shall be convenient.

Because of all bedridden patients has decubitus formation, then it implies the necessary minimum of auxiliary drugs. This camphor alcohol ointments containing zinc, creams and gels that promote skin regeneration. Of course, all drugs should be coordinated with the attending or family physician.

Camphor alcohol is used to wipe the skin, which may be formed of bedsores. Ointment to promote skin regeneration, may be applied as a preventive measure after drying of the skin treated with camphor spirit.

Harbinger of decubitus formation and subsequent destruction of the skin is darkening of the skin. In the first place, such discoloration can occur on the thighs, back in the falcon, at least on the sides of the foot, near the heel.

People caring for such patients, one must try to prevent the occurrence of darkening of the skin. For this purpose, must periodically change the position of the body lying patient. That is, it must be rotated at regular intervals from one to the other side or back.
With the same purpose should be cleaned with alcohol, camphor patches of skin on which a person has to lie for a long time.

In bedridden patients, as a rule, there are problems associated with the work of the stomach, which made possible constipation. To this end, a laxative, which must be agreed upon or with your family doctor.

Almost all bedridden patients need extra vitamins and minerals, they can not get to bed by way of life. Talk to your doctor and make the necessary vitamin intake.

Finally, wish all this knowledge is not needed! Well, if all the same accident happened, then a speedy recovery!
