Remedicated

Like cough and fever, a cold is a symptom. This means that it is an underlying cause of an illness. Nevertheless, for you to actually stop the illness, you may have to get rid of the symptom first. Fortunately, you are bombarded with several methods in treating colds:

1. Sip an onion broth. If you cannot afford a chicken soup, then might as well have an onion broth. This practice of curing colds began in ancient Rome. What they would usually do is to soak onion into the warm water. The sick person should drink the entire broth. The number of glasses he needed to gulp will depend on how fast he wants himself cured.

2. Pick up plants along the way. On the other hand, colonial America was abundant with different kinds of plants that may have some medicinal properties and can be used to treat colds. These included the buckthorns, goldenseal, bloodroot, coltsfoot, as well as yarrow, to name a few. You can boil them and sip them as if they are your tea. They do not taste really good, but you would rather do so than suffer from a bad running nose and sneeze.

3. Drink alcohol. Now, there seems to be a silent argument as to whether alcoholic beverages will do you anything good when you have running nose. If you are going to ask the Germans, then most definitely they are on the affirmative side. They would usually just spice up their rum with cinnamon and paired with chamomile tea. The logic revolves around the fact that the cause of cold is actually a virus. Cinnamon is well-known in preventing the development of E. Coli and can also increase insulin in your body.

4. Take Echinacea. This functions like vitamin C, which you know is very excellent in treating colds. Latest news, though suggest, that it does not really do much for your colds or even flu. But if you believe in its power, you can still make it work for you. You just need to be careful as you may experience some allergic reactions to it or symptoms of gastrointestinal problems. When you do, avoid drinking any other medicine and consult your doctor.

5. Practice Qigong exercises. Another new but popular method of curing cold is the traditional Chinese medicine. It combines herbal medicines, Qigong, and acupuncture. The main principle of TCM is to allow the proper flow of your universal or vital energy, which is called Qi (pronounced as chi). It is the belief among Chinese that a person gets sick when he experiences imbalance in his ying and yang. There should also be harmony among the basic five elements such as the earth, water, fire, metal, and wood.

When you are drinking too many glasses of water does not work, or when you have already rested for several days, it may be time to think about using other methods, such as the ones mentioned above. Who knows, it may be the cure you are looking for.

Who says you need to spend all your money for your illness or to simply beautify yourself? It may not be completely known to you, but you can find almost everything you need right inside your home. Moreover, because they’re natural, you can take advantage of the nutrients—vitamins and minerals—that they contain.

1. How do you solve scars?

Every time you get injured or develop a wound, you simply need to give your body a time to heal. It will eventually close, but it may become a scar. If you’re a very vain person, scars may ruin your self-confidence. If they’re found all over your legs, you could be spending summers skiing because you can’t expose them. Fortunately, you can help lighten their colors by going for a very tasty mixture. You have to mix sour cream, yogurt, oatmeal, and lemon juice. Place it over the scar and don’t remove it for 10 minutes. Wash it off after the time has passed.

2. How do you get rid of pimples?

Pimples can be irritating not only because they are painful to touch, but because they can ruin your appearance. It doesn’t help either when friends and family members get to notice it first more than anything else in your body. Treatments can range from cheap to very expensive. However, rather than spend your money, why don’t you look for tomatoes in your backyard? Before you take a bath, combine tomato pulp, rose water, and honey. Place the mixture on your face and let it stay for twenty minutes. Afterward rinse your face. You will see how your pimple starts to subside or peel off.

3. How do you eliminate gas?

Our body produces gas—and it’s normal. You may burp or fart. Either way, you’re getting rid of it. However, there are times when it’s going to be real struggle for you. No matter what you do, you can’t just simply let it all out. All you’re left with is a bloated stomach. How do you do it? There are many ways, strange they may sound. If you can’t come up with peppermint tea, then simply boil potatoes in the water, which you’re going to drink later on. You may also feed yourself with lots of sour cream or yogurt—or even pepper.

4. How do you erase hemorrhoids?

When you’re feeling a burning or painful sensation in your anus or rectum, you could be suffering from hemorrhoids. It may not be as obvious as pimples, acnes, or scars; but you may want to still get rid of it for the simple fact that it can be pretty uncomfortable. You can make use of treatments, or you can just add corn or potato flours in the tub and take a long nice bath. Isn’t that sweet and simple?

5. How do you invite hair to grow back?

You’re not the only one who’s losing their hair, but you also don’t like to be others who don’t do anything to the problem. Rather than waste your money on several hair loss supplements that don’t work, buy yourself castor oil and use it instead of regular shampoo. Make sure that it penetrates the scalp, not the hair. Then wrap your hair with the use of newspaper and then cloth, and leave everything as is for the rest of the night. After 6 or 7 sessions, you will see tremendous improvement.
