Sore throat, Headaches, Home remedies
In this article I am going to be talking about home remedies for headaches, Sore throat and more.
In today’s world of stress and strain everybody is running for success in professional life and for money. Everyone needs happiness, but in this rat race one tends to forget, that the basis of happiness is good health. People tend to pay attention to health only when one falls sick. The sole purpose of going to a medical practitioner is to get quick relief from sickness, so that one can resume the rat race. By taking strong medicines the immunity to disease and vitality of the human body is reduced. The demand for such medicines is constantly on the rise. As everyday a new drug crops up in the market. We see advertisements of newer drugs daily and we continue to spend more and more money on such medicines.
To avoid this, we have to adopt the age old concept of “Prevention is better than cure”. And for this, we need to take a balanced approach towards diet. Let food be your medicine. Balanced food is the most safe and effective way to rejuvenate the body.
Common Cold conditions-
Common cold is a highly contagious, viral infection of the upper respiratory system. The symptoms include running nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, cough fever and headache. It is a fact that people suffering from common cold do not take rest. This is a wrong approach as lack of rest further reduces immunity in such conditions. So, it is important to take rest.
Home remedies For Sore Throat:
Gargling is very important.
• Add ¼ teaspoon salt in a glass of hot water. Use this water for Gargles.
• Gargles with Triphala powder- decoction are also advisable.
• In hot water, add ¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder and drink it before going to bed.
Home remedies For Headaches:
Apply paste of Myristica Fragrans or Nutmeg on the forehead especially in between the eyebrows.
For Running Nose and Nasal Congestion: Drink Basil Tea with a little Ginger powder.
A handful of Basil leaves, Black Pepper about 11 seeds, Ginger about 6 grams, Cinnamomum 0.5 grams and Water about 250 grams. Boil it sufficiently, then filter it, add sugar as needed and drink this homemade tea.
I hope the above home remedies for headaches, sore throat work for all.
