It is a popular belief that you may just get through the so called slight cold or ordinary catarrh by working and functioning normally. It is not true. You have to treat even banal complaints. If you don’t – complications can be serious, for example, otitis media.
When you feel you’re going down with infection
- Stay at home for 4-5 days and spend this time in bed.
- Coughing can be relieved by regular administration of Hederoin or Hederasal.
- Eat garlic and horseradish. The substances they contain kill viruses. Horseradish contains five times more vitamin C than lemon.
Fortifying herbs
Echinacea. It’s been making a staggering career for several years. It has been discovered that echinacea inhibits production of hyaluronidase, the enzyme destroying natural protective barrier between healthy tissue and the attacking pathogens. It stimulates the organism to fight viruses and bacteria by increasing leukocyte count. Echinacea not only prevents colds but also alleviates their course and speeds up therapeutic processes. Clinical tests demonstrated that individuals, who applied echinacea preparations following first symptoms, recover about four days earlier.
Wild rose. Its fruit is especially rich in vitamins C and P. Rosehip preparations and infusions fortify organism, prevent colds, alleviate symptoms and reduce illness period. Drink prophylactically rosehip infusion 3 times a day in the fall in order to supply organism with vitamins.
Pyrosal – syrup
The syrup contains extracts from coltsfoot, linden, willow and elder. These raw materials are traditionally applied as diaphoretics and cause body temperature reduction. Pyrosal is traditionally used as an auxiliary agent in case of sub-febrile states in the course of infections, mainly of the upper airways. It can be administered to children over three years of age following consultation with a physician.
