Cold prevention. Prevention of colds (ori, orvi, acute respiratory infections and influenza)

(2 votes : 5 out of 5 )

Viruses are especially aggressive in the autumn-spring season. It is worth getting nervous, falling into sadness, overcooling, or, oddly enough, disdaining a person sneezing next to public transport how unpleasant symptoms begin. Every year, influenza viruses mutate, new symptomatic features appear. This year, for example, we hear that those who fell ill with a “cold” had bronchitis, sore throat, runny nose, high fever, otitis media, and even diarrhea with vomiting. And it's all in one person at once! Influenza prophylaxis with antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs has been shown to be ineffective in cases of this outbreak. But we know from that, unfortunately, prevention with antiviral drugs often leads to a weakening of our own immunity, the inability of our body to cope with aggressor viruses on its own. And here they come to the rescue folk methods prevention. With the help of them, a person, as it were, returns to nature, actively stimulating his own forces to fight.

Antioxidants are included in all herbal medicines, which is one of the important reasons for the magical effectiveness of herbal treatments for various diseases. However, it should be borne in mind that the ubiquitous synthetic form has low biological activity and can be used in excess, which can lead to adverse effects. side effects. Natural vitamin C is found in plants in combination with other compounds, which gives it a much higher biological activity and safety of use.

This is another case where attempts to "fake" nature have proven ineffective. The best source of vitamin C is wild rose. Laboratory research showed that the highest biological activity among natural antioxidants are anthocyanins found in fruits chokeberry and cranberries, as well as polyphenols present in green tea and red grape fruit.

Take care of your immunity from a young age

It's easier to get through an outbreak with a strong immune system than it is to start working on your own defenses when the disease is on the rise.

For this:

1. Keep calm

Doctors say in one voice: stress reduces immunity. What is the conclusion? - do not be nervous. It is very easy to say, but how to do it? Each person has his own "keys" to his own nervous system, based on the experience of life that he received. It has been proven by scientists, for example, that the brain of believers copes with stress better (in comparison with atheists). The desire to keep everything under your control, to be “on top”, to defend your point of view, “not to fall into the dirt on your face” - all this will certainly lead to stress. If you cannot cope with the anxieties yourself, you can help in the fight against such conditions.

It is advisable to use them additionally during herbal treatment, at least at the beginning of treatment. Keeping in mind dysbacteriosis, which is the basis of most chronic and chronic relapsing diseases, it is worth starting with drugs that regulate the amount and type of colonization of our gut microbes from the very beginning. It should be noted that preparations containing lactobacilli should be used for a long time, because their biological activity is very different, and in the initial period of treatment, most strains of these bacteria die without detecting the affected diseases in the environment. favorable conditions proliferating.

This does not mean that you should immediately start pouring a bucket of ice water on yourself. Although with gradual getting used to such a procedure, there are many positive results. You need to start by creating such a microclimatic environment around yourself so as not to overheat your body: temperature environment from 18 to 22 degrees, air humidity 40-60%. Keep it that way all the time. What happens when overheated: the vessels expand, their walls become easily passable for many pathogens. Avoiding overheating, we keep the walls of our vessels in good shape, which do not let new residents in. For this, you can also use ascorbic acid with rutin (ascorutin drug - it strengthens the walls of capillaries). You can use a contrast shower, or dousing with cool water (at first, a little warm, so that the skin is pleasant, lowering the temperature day by day). A person applying these tips is not afraid of accidental hypothermia.

Recently, preparations have appeared on the market that combine a probiotic with a prebiotic, that is, with a specific nutrient medium for bacteria in the probiotic. This 2-in-1 combination is called synbiotics, and the results of clinical trials show its high biological activity, thereby reducing the duration of the drug.

Discussing the topic of dysbacteriosis, it is impossible not to move the method of feeding. The epidemiological results of the World Health Organization show that it is he who is responsible for the health of the population on a macro scale. In general, we do not understand what effect the chemically induced effect of dysbacteriosis has on our organisms.

3. Water-drinking regimen

Water is the main substrate of our body. To maintain the body in a healthy state, you need to follow the drinking regimen: drink liquids about 2-2.5 liters per day. Basically it should be clean, unboiled water. When asked why not tea or juice, you can ask a counter question: do you wash windows with tea or juice? ... The answer is obvious. So our body needs washing, incl. from harmful microorganisms. In case of non-compliance drinking regime there is a risk of intestinal blockage (appendicitis may develop), the formation of kidney stones, circulatory disorders (this may cause headaches, dizziness), etc. The list is very long. Here is such a free medicine in our house in a decanter, but we neglect it.

Try to deal with stress. It is a substrate that promotes the development of viral infections, as it negatively affects the suitability of our defense system. We all know how difficult it is to change our professional, family, etc. in this complex matter, natural remedies are very useful. It is important to resort to herbal and homeopathic remedies that tone up our emotions and, most importantly, are not prone to addiction. However, in this case, you should also use the advice of doctors who specialize in natural medicine, especially from homeopathic advice.

4. Everyone for a walk!

walking on fresh air contributes to the enrichment of the body with oxygen. Oxygen nourishes all organs and tissues of the body, is necessary for the normal functioning of organs and systems. You can use oxygen cocktails, but nothing can replace walking in the fresh air. After all, this is both a moral rest after a hard day, and interaction with nature (it is better to walk in the park), and sparing exercise stress.

Another very effective way to treat stress is to practice hatha yoga. "Ha" means the sun, "Tha" means the moon. The symbolism of these words refers to two additional elements. Ha is the pure joy of being, Ta is the mind, intellect, emotions and source of suffering. Ha, since the sun represents fixed element, unchanged. Tha, like the moon, is constantly changing, reflecting the chimera of our mind. If Ha and Ta are in balance, we reach a state of perfect tranquility in which, through unhindered observability and observation, we can easily reach the heights of our abilities.

5. We do exercises

Sports people get sick less. This is due to the fact that they strengthen their muscles, blood vessels, drink more water. It is also noticed that physical activity helps to deal with stress. We do not urge readers to immediately take up running, dumbbells or lifting with a coup on the horizontal bar. A simple 5-10-minute exercise in the morning for pleasure can work wonders. Choose exercises that you like to hit the maximum number of muscles. But beware of reboots, it's useless. It is useful to do self-massage.

After the practice session, we feel calm, relaxed and easy to focus and use our intellectual potential. Hatha yoga allows you to relax intellectually - we can say that during the exercise the mind rests. If you constantly think about whether you are suffering chronic illness Are you stressed or eating right? Prevent not only the first symptoms of a cold, but also prevent their occurrence. If cold affects an infant and young child, the elderly or chronically treated, always consult a physician. The cold is not the same as the flu! The flu vaccine does not protect against developing the common cold. They only protect against influenza, which is an epidemic epidemic.

Find the underlying problem and start treatment.
This is easier to prevent than to cure.

Respiratory infections are caused by approximately 200 various types viruses that each of us causes disease on average several times a year.

Armed with these simple advice, which you probably knew, but kept putting off using them. And we begin to act to strengthen our defenses.

What to do and eat so as not to get sick

During the outbreak colds, without ceasing to fulfill all the previous ones, we use the advice of traditional medicine.

The common cold is accompanied by a runny nose, weakness, eye pain, and subepithelial fever. In the case of the flu, a fever is over 38 degrees Celsius that lasts 1-2 days, along with pain in the joints, muscles, cough, and fatigue and weakness. It is important to distinguish the flu from the common cold, because in the case of this illness, in order to recover, we must stay at home for at least five days, explains Dr. Med.

Staying at home also prevents the spread of the virus. It is important to remember that adults can catch the flu, except for three to five days after the initial fear. In the case of children, this time lasts up to seven days. Colds and flu are transmitted by droplet and contact. Therefore, we can become infected by direct contact with infected people, as well as by touching handles, handrails and other objects.

We breathe vapors from the kettle. During the epidemic, a little trick will help. Every day, when you come home from work, the first thing to do is wash your hands, put the kettle on to boil and finely chop the garlic or onion. Rinse with boiling water a teapot specially allocated for the procedure. Put the garlic / onion there, close the lid. Heat the teapot a little in the microwave (for a second) or over low heat on the stove. Inhale the resulting vapors through the spout of the kettle with your mouth and nose. Such inhalation will help to neutralize pathogenic microbes in the respiratory tract and protect against infection.
We eat onion and garlic. And don't be afraid to smell.
We drink fruit drinks from frozen berries (cranberries, currants, sea buckthorn), add lemon juice to tea.
We drink chamomile in milk. It is very good for diseases of the throat, especially for those who have to talk a lot (lecturers, educators, teachers, etc.). Boil milk and put 2 filter bags of chamomile flowers there, mash well with a teaspoon. Add butter and honey (if not allergic). Let cool, drink warm in small sips.
Aromatherapy will protect against microorganisms . or baths with antiseptic essential oils (avoid synthetically processed perfume oils).
We wash the nose and eyes. Washes are made with a solution sea salt(you can take simple salt 1/3 teaspoon to a glass of water and add 1 drop of iodine). Pathogenic microorganisms enter our body through the nasal passages and mucous membranes of the eyes. They need 4-8 hours to penetrate deeper. Therefore, it is advisable to flush every 4 hours to wash off pathogens from the mucosa.
We drink herbal infusions instead of tea.

Renata Ravich: (from the book " Ambulance by natural means)

In the infectious season, the simplest and most effective method protection against infection is washing hands with warm water and soap. Avoid crowded places as much as possible. Houses often have ventilation rooms. Also, don't touch your nose, mouth, or eyes at work, the expert adds.

Instead of swallowing a cold pill, it's better to take care of your immune system and prepare for winter. I don't need to remind anyone that vitamins help strengthen our immune system and help fight it off possible infections. The well-known and good vitamin C plays an important role here, which increases the production of white blood cells, and also strengthens the cell surface, preventing viruses from entering them. Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is found in almost all fruits and vegetables, from potatoes to lemons.

Strengthening immunity

IN last years scientists have proven that only a slagged, contaminated with toxins body loses its defenses, its immunity is weakened. If a person is not hardened, then the nasal mucosa ceases to resist viruses and bacteria, and since the body is contaminated, an infection begins. In no way can one deny the infection, because it is not without reason that nosocomial diseases exist; with diseases in the family, for example, a runny nose in the mother, Small child immediately becomes infected. This can be explained by the fact that there is an infection, but there is no body defense. There is only one measure of struggle - this is the development of nonspecific immunity. If the body is clean and hardened, then meeting with the sick is not terrible. It is also important to develop local immunity, especially hardening the legs, throat, nasopharynx.

They are mainly found in red fruits, but also in tomatoes, broccoli or green peppers. They help absorb vitamin C and increase its effectiveness. When setting our autumn menu, we cannot forget the mineral compounds. On rainy autumn days, we often land in front of the TV, and such laziness is known to increase appetite. There is nothing wrong with choosing pumpkin as a snack, which is very rich in zinc, which, like vitamin C or E, helps produce lymphocytes, the cells responsible for fighting infections.

Strengthening immunity- this

a natural diet that is as rich as possible in vitamins (especially vitamin C), macro- and microelements, as well as enzymes.
restoration of healthy intestinal flora and treatment of dysbacteriosis,
constant hardening, prevention of influenza and colds,
minimizing potent drugs that undermine the body's own defenses and the use of non-drug methods of helping the patient.

In recent years, the existence of several types of lymphocytes has been proved in works on immunology: 1) suppressors that suppress the reproduction of microbes; 2) cells - sweepers, contributing to the cleansing of the body from them. Most likely, at heavy pollution of the body, all these lymphocytes cannot cope with their task of cleansing the body, hence the drop in immunity and, as a result, illness.

Garlic is a traditional, Babbian way to ward off colds. It is also used to treat infection as it acts as a natural antibiotic. Contains sulfur compounds, B and C vitamins, mineral salts, flavonoids and pectin and minerals. A similar effect is shown by the bow.

Many people cannot convince themselves to eat garlic and onions because of their distinctive smell. Drinking plenty of fluids, including water and fruit juices, is important for both treating and preventing infections. Fluids dilate secretions, help expel them and improve circulation and function. immune system.

Temper like steel!

Let's first try to follow some naturopathic recommendations that will allow us not to catch a cold with any draft and not get sick with any sneeze, namely, we will begin to harden.

Skin care includes water procedures for the purpose of hardening, water procedures for the purpose of cleansing, dry rubbing and self-massage in order to improve capillary blood circulation, air baths, sunbathing, home baths, bath. One of the main ways to overcome the tendency to catch colds is a constant general and local hardening. Water procedures for the purpose of hardening can be very diverse. Rule one: none drastic changes in your life habits. You should not dive into an ice hole for the first time at minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter if you at all never tempered before and sneeze in every breath of wind.

In order for the immune system to function properly, diet is not enough, even if it is the most carefully chosen. Physical activity is just as important as proper nutrition. Therefore, every sunny autumn day is worth spending on walks, cycling or jogging. On cloudy and rainy days, you can go to the swimming pool, gym, aerobics or workout at home. Winter, even in the city, is no excuse for laziness. snow and low temperatures do not interfere with walking or jogging, and more - it's the only way to sled or skate.

You can start to harden in the softest, most neutral ways:

in the morning wash the neck, back of the head and ears with warm water and don't wipe them. Water, gradually cooling down, cools important thermoregulatory receptors, accustoming them to temperature fluctuations;
wipe the whole body with a wet sponge, wet washcloth followed by grinding tough terry towel. At first, for rubbing, you need to take warm water and then gradually reduce the temperature of the water to cool. For more hardened people, you can use very cold water. Wet wiping is best done in the morning, just getting out of bed, while the body is still warm;
every time you wash your hands, try gargle with warm water, gradually lowering the temperature to cold;
good to start and end the day with warm shower followed by (very fast) douche cool water(starting from the legs) of the whole body: just put your feet under cold water for just a few seconds, then rub yourself well.
try after a warm shower pour over cold water neck, ears, legs to the ankle;
if you do not have the skill of pouring cold water, but there is a fear of cold water, let be better water will be warm at first. Keep the flexible hose away so that the water jet is strong and massages the skin at the same time. In the end, pour cooler water over the whole body, and neck, neck, ears, arms and legs with very cold water;
can do cold and hot shower: first warm water, then briefly - cold. But you should not get carried away with too sharp temperature contrasts if you have a weak heart or if you are pregnant.
To harden a small child, it’s good to pour ankle-deep warm water into the bath, throw a toy or a ball and let the baby jump and splash naked for his own pleasure, frolic in the bath, “play” football, mom stands nearby and rejoices in childish joy; most importantly, no comments! At the same time, hardening occurs: the skin breathes, and the water gradually cools. At the end, do not forget to rub the baby properly.
It is exceptionally useful to walk (better, run!) barefoot in the dew, wet grass in the summer - also starting literally from seconds, then put on woolen socks on wet feet. In winter, hardening can be continued by literally seconds running through the snow barefoot or jumping in a basin of snow on the balcony. Be sure to rub your feet afterwards.

Remember that short exposure to cold water is stimulating, while long exposure to hot water relaxes, relieves spasms and nervous tension. Indeed, we must always remember that hot water absolutely not recommended hypertension, heart , pregnant women, especially with a tendency to bleeding and miscarriages.

During times of great stress, our body releases hormones that weaken the immune system. Usually harmless germs can cause a serious infection. The sedative effects on our nerves are all relaxation methods such as yoga or walking with the dog. For some The best way getting rid of negative emotions is an exercise for others stroking cat knees.

In such situations, very long sleep is also important. Just as you sleep, most hormones are released, including those responsible for protecting our bodies. Relaxed and relaxed, we have more energy to fight the autumn germs. Keep in mind that autumn is not the time for fasting or a strict diet. Wind, rain and the first frosts are a challenge for our body. To cope with this, it needs food with a high nutritional density. It is necessary to ensure that our diet includes healthy foods, especially vegetables and fruits.

In hardening, the following rules must be observed:

gradualism And continuity;
if you have a cold or feel unwell, you can raise the temperature of the water, but most importantly - in no case do not stop skin care;
never you should not bring yourself to chills. G The main effect of dry or wet rubbing, any hardening measures up to dousing (short-term!) with cold water is a feeling of cheerfulness, a surge of energy and warmth throughout the body. If there is no reaction, you feel chilly, and the skin remains cold, despite rubbing with a massage towel, then this measure of hardening is not suitable for you personally and you have to choose another one.

Important pick up your individual hardening techniques taking into account age and health conditions. The main thing is that in one way or another water washed the skin daily.

Bake avocado or pasta, optional squeeze garlic on top, sprinkle big amount parsley. Cut the onion and garlic into layers in a jar and pour in the sugar. Finally, gently squeeze the contents of the jar with the pestle and tighten. After two days, the syrup is ready. This is an old type of babbin with a slightly expectorant and bacteriostatic effect.

If there is little time in the morning, then it is quite enough to carry out dry rubbing or self-massage, wash the upper half of the body with cool water, and take a warm bath or warm shower in the evening before going to bed.

Even better, take a shower. straightaway after work, to wash off not only dirt, but also fatigue. It is especially important to shower and change clothes immediately after work for those who works with people: doctors, teachers, sellers.

We say goodbye to the cold! So the cold has little chance

In our comprehensive instruction, Father Sebastian Kneipp gave us instructions on how best to survive during the cold. healthy eating, outdoor activities, natural plants and herbal energy, while water, with its warm and cold stimuli, forms the basis of the balance of body and spirit. In this way, illnesses such as the common cold can be effectively prevented, naturally reduced and even cured, and strengthened the immune system. And best of all: the Sebastian Kneipp method can be used very easily at home!

Understand: viruses act only on a weakened organism with reduced resistance, with insufficiently strong immunity. For supporters of the virus theory, man is a helpless victim, trying in vain to elude the persecution of countless pathogenic microbes that attack him bloodthirsty. but Scientific research show that the mere presence of microbes and viruses in the body does not always and necessarily automatically guarantee the disease of the bacillus carrier. The result - a disease, including a cold - is ultimately determined by the state of health and the immune system of the human body.

In general, any hardening is better to start in the summer. And try not to take any drastic measures.

throat hardening

Very effective tool local hardening and prevention of influenza, especially during an epidemic, is gargling. Use just warm tap water at first, but gradually lower the temperature of the water to cold. The most effective rinses with disinfectants: sage, eucalyptus, calendula, yarrow, pine buds. You can add 10 - 15 drops of alcohol tincture to warm water for rinsing: propolis, or eucalyptus or calendula - which is in the home first aid kit. You can, in order not to waste time counting, just pour into the cap: how many drops will go in, this is quite enough for rinsing. You can use menthol, fir or eucalyptus aromatic oils for rinsing - just a few drops.

You can gargle with sea salt, a favorite Chinese traditional medicine. Brew 1 - 2 teaspoons of sea salt with boiling water in the evening, rinse in the morning. If you are relaxing at the seaside with your child in the summer and the water is clean there, you can gargle with just sea water. I remember how we rested in Pärnu (in Soviet times it was a popular children's resort) and in order for my daughter to agree to gargle, we arranged children's competitions on the beach who would gurgle the longest. And I also carried sea water from the beach in cans, heated it on the stove and wiped the baby. I tempered her to the point that we swam with her when adults were afraid to come close to cold water. The main thing is desire and ... patience.

Try using traditional rinses: cranberry or lemon juice, natural Apple vinegar etc.). Honey rinse helps well for the prevention of influenza: honey has a wonderful antiviral and antibacterial effect. You can rinse your mouth with a disinfectant oak bark extract. For children, the decoction can be sweetened with honey.

In order to remove pathogenic bacteria from the nasopharynx, inhalations with fir or menthol oil or oil-alkali can be done. Children can buy lozenges or chewing gum with menthol, eucalyptus and vitamin C.

It is very good to put in the refrigerator and regularly drink (literally in a sip) cold juices, fruit drinks, compotes, jelly, etc. Use toothpastes with strong antiviral properties (forest balm, propolis) for brushing your teeth. You can literally add 1-2 drops of tea tree oil, which has powerful bactericidal properties, to the toothbrush in the paste. During a flu epidemic, it is especially important to use disinfectant soaps. If, after coming home from work, immediately wash your hands (and do it as often as possible at work), and those who work among a large crowd of people (for example, doctors, salesmen, transport workers) immediately take a shower and change clothes, then the probability influenza during the epidemic will decrease tenfold.

Tempering with healthy food

First: it is necessary, if possible, to minimize the use of products harmful to the body: refined sugar and other refined products, pickles, smoked meats, canned foods, fried meat etc. - leaving temptations and goodies for the holidays.
Second: give preference to natural products: honey, dried fruits, nuts, increase the consumption of natural fruits and vegetables, with a high content of vitamin C, add onion, garlic, fresh or dry table greens, spices and other products containing phytoncides to food,
Third: reduce the consumption of cow's milk, which forms a large number of mucus in favor of lactic acid products fermented with bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and other lactic acid bacteria, providing a healthy intestinal flora. This is especially important for people with chronic rhinitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, hay fever, and other diseases of the bronchi and lungs.
Fourth: reduce the consumption of white bread and refined flour products, which also contribute to the formation of excess mucus in the body, in favor of whole flour products with the addition of bran, as well as black bread.

Hardening with vitamins

Add ascorbic acid (vitamin C)! This is one of the most effective ways hardening of the body. Doses should be at least two grams(2000 mg) -in a day for healthy person especially in autumn, winter and spring periods, moreover, the reception should be fractional: at a time not less than 0.5 grams. Smaller doses do not have a hardening effect. Remember that in order for the body to absorb vitamin C, it must be combined with enzymes - biocatalysts: bioflavonoids (carefully read the labels). Powdered or soluble vitamin C is best absorbed.
It is also necessary to connect natural biologically active multivitamins (supradin, etc.), especially in the autumn-winter period, which significantly reduces susceptibility to colds; this is especially necessary for children attending kindergartens and schools.
Simultaneously with the addition of vitamin C and multivitamins, it is necessary to include natural products containing natural biologically active substances that help prevent influenza: sauerkraut, cranberry juice or jelly, fortified herbal teas, rosehip infusion, fresh and dry herbs, lemons, garlic, onions, spices, honey, pollen, royal jelly.
Traditional for Russia, where there is little sun in winter, is the use of fish oil during this period as a source of vitamins A and D for the prevention of rickets in children. Read labels carefully: give preference natural fish oil versus artificial vitamin D, and check if the fish oil has been cold processed (at hot processed the enzymes or enzymes that make up the biologically active value of the drug are destroyed). Fish oils from river fish (such as salmon) are of higher quality than those from cod, since ocean water is now more environmentally hazardous and toxic due to excessive radiation). Naturally, you need to choose fish oil in gelatin capsules, without color, taste and smell. Fish oil is especially needed in winter for young children, pregnant and lactating women. The Institute of Influenza strongly recommends the use of fat-soluble vitamins A and D (and this is fish oil) for the prevention of influenza; it is emphasized that these vitamins are well absorbed by the body only with a full natural diet.

By the way, the practice of canceling such widely attended events as Christmas trees in Luzhniki, where tens of thousands of people gather at the same time, has shown that a sharp decline in influenza diseases can be achieved if school holidays are regulated and children are kept apart during an influenza epidemic.

For children attending a kindergarten or school, during a flu epidemic, for prevention, aloe juice, mixed with sterile vegetable oil(1-2 drops in each nostril). I always put a peeled clove of garlic in my son's pocket when he went to school, he told the children that this was his talisman.

Children must be given ascorbic acid at 0.5 grams in the morning and evening, fish oil and high-quality natural children's multivitamins. Directly during the epidemic, you can give an alcohol infusion of propolis (at the rate of 1 drop per year of life). Propolis is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics, it is one of the most powerful biostimulants and improves immunity. Propolis tincture can be diluted in juice or milk. You can drip some tincture: propolis or eucalyptus or calendula on a piece of sugar and let the child suck (1 - 2 times a day).

Try with a tendency to colds to use the mixture: 100 gr. honey + juice of 1 lemon, if there is no allergy to honey, and take 1-2 teaspoons in the morning and at bedtime. Aloe juice (agave) also has biostimulating properties. It is given to a child with honey, just do not do it at the same time as propolis, eucalyptus or calendula. Now they sell pastilles and sweets with eucalyptus, sage and other herbs (Dr. Mom and others). During a flu epidemic, they can be offered to a child, and suck yourself, without waiting for the disease. You can also use the homeopathic remedy antigrippin during this period.

To be continued
