Notes/comments/remarks (by editors or authors)
1. The early symptoms of a cold are similar to those of some infectious diseases, and should be differentiated clinically.
2. During the cold epidemic period, acupuncture at Zusanli (double), once a day 1 time for 3 consecutive days, has a preventive effect. Cold is a common and frequently-occurring disease. So far, there is no specific treatment, so we can only treat it symptomatically and let it gradually heal itself. This paper introduces several peculiar therapies, which readers may wish to try.
Nose washing pot 1, nose washing method: Western medicine believes that when people catch cold, get caught in the rain and other inducing factors, the frequency of respiratory cilia oscillation decreases, and the time for snot and its adsorbed viruses, bacteria and fungi to stay in the nasal cavity greatly increases, which makes the viruses that cause colds multiply and invade the human body, causing colds.
Therefore, washing the nasal cavity repeatedly with normal saline can wash away the virus in the nasal cavity and prevent the virus from multiplying in the nasal cavity and invading the human body continuously. This method can cure a cold in 2 to 4 days without side effects. Washing your nose with salt water in the morning and evening can also greatly reduce the chance of catching a cold, which has a good preventive effect.
2, drink chicken soup: two clinical medical centers in the United States reported that drinking chicken soup can inhibit inflammation of the throat and respiratory tract, and is extremely effective in eliminating symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and sore throat caused by colds. Because chicken contains a variety of essential amino acids, it is nutritious and can significantly enhance the body's resistance to cold viruses. Chicken also contains some special chemicals, which can enhance the blood circulation in the pharynx and the secretion of nasal liquid, and play a very good role in protecting the respiratory tract, removing respiratory viruses and accelerating the recovery of colds.
3. Eat more radishes: Practice has proved that carotene in radishes has a unique role in preventing and treating colds. The specific method is to chop sweet, crisp and juicy radish, squeeze out half a teacup juice, mash ginger, squeeze out a small amount of ginger juice, add sugar or honey, mix well, and then pour it into boiling water as a drink, three times a day for two days, which can clear away heat and toxic materials, dispel cold and prevent colds.
4, sugar ginger tea: Because colds are mostly exogenous cold pathogens, headaches, nasal congestion, runny nose and joint pain often occur, and even chills, fever and other symptoms. You can make soup with proper amount of brown sugar, ginger and black tea, 1-2 times a day, which can not only warm your body and dispel cold, but also have a good effect on preventing and treating colds.
5. Eat less salt: Experiments have proved that eating less salt containing sodium can increase the content of lysozyme in saliva, protect the epithelial cells of oral cavity and throat mucosa, and let them secrete more immunoglobulin A and interferon to deal with cold viruses. Therefore, controlling the daily salt content within 5 grams is of great benefit to the prevention and treatment of colds.
6, taking honey: honey contains a variety of bioactive substances, can stimulate the body's immune function, twice a day in the morning and evening, can effectively treat and prevent viral diseases such as colds.
7. Take yeast as an example: Professor dasgupta of the University of California found in the experiment that the yeast for making bread contains an ingredient that can prevent the reproduction and spread of cold virus in human cells, and can treat the common cold, but it has no effect on influenza.
8. Eat more condiments: The University of Wisconsin in the United States believes that ginger and dried peppers help the human body to expel cold viruses, relieve cough and resolve phlegm. The American Institute for Cancer Research recently revealed that garlic can enhance the immune function of the human body. Add more seasoning when cooking, which can make the cold recover early.
9. Nasal fumigation with vinegar: The vinegar is diluted with cold boiled water and then prepared into 5%- 10% solution for nasal drip, 4-6 times a day, and 2-3 drops are dripped into each nostril, which has a good effect on treating colds and influenza. Especially in the early stage of a cold, the curative effect is better. Vinegar can kill the cold virus lurking in the nasopharynx. During the cold epidemic, vinegar nasal drops have a reliable preventive effect. In addition, vinegar fumigation can also treat colds, that is,100g of vinegar is fumigated on the stove, which not only makes the room smell immediately, but also makes vinegar molecules float in the air, killing indoor cold viruses and effectively preventing colds. During the cold epidemic, it is best to fumigate vinegar 1-2 times a day.
10, hand rubbing: Because the thumb root of the hand (medically called thenar) is rich in muscles, when the palm is stretched out, it is obviously prominent, occupying a large area of the palm. The thenar is closely related to the respiratory organs. Rubbing every day is of great benefit to improving the constitution that is prone to colds. The method is: rub the thenar with both hands until it is hot. Rubbing is like rubbing the skin of a peanut with your palm. One hand is fixed, turn the thenar of the other hand, and alternate hands up and down. Two thenar rubbing in opposite directions, about one to two minutes, the whole palm will be hot. Doing so can promote blood circulation and strengthen the body's metabolism, so it can enhance physical fitness, so it is not easy to catch a cold.
1 1. Massage the alar: make a fist with both hands slightly, and massage both sides of the alar up and down with the back of the flexed thumb. Massage 15-30 times every morning and evening, with local redness and fever as the degree. One method can improve the blood circulation of the nose, promote the secretion of mucosal cells, and expel cold virus and its harmful metabolites through the "directional swing" of cilia.
12. Acupoint massage: After massaging the nasal passages, Xiang Ying and runny nose with the fingertips of thumb, forefinger and middle finger (with one finger), rub the muscle area around the fishbone point to the cold areas on both sides of the nasal cavity from Xiang Ying to Tang Yin. Massage Yongquan point and the foot center until they get hot, so that the meridians in these two parts are unobstructed and the qi and blood run normally. This can prevent the cold from invading and keep the enemy out.
13, Acupuncture Treatment: Acupuncture in China is quite effective for colds. Going to acupuncture as soon as possible when catching a cold can immediately relieve stuffy nose and headache, and make the elevated body temperature gradually return to normal after a day and night. Because acupuncture enhances the immune function in the body through the regulation of meridians, the curative effect is reliable. Effective acupoints for treating cold are Shangxing, Tang Yin, Fengchi, Xiang Ying, Hegu and Waiguan. Leave the needle 15 minutes, once a day, usually 2-3 times to cure.
14, sleep more: researchers at Harvard Medical School in the United States found that when people sleep, bacteria in the body can produce a substance called "muramic acid", which can enhance human immunity and accelerate the recovery from colds and other viral diseases. Therefore, it is suggested that sleep is also a treatment, especially for colds.
15. Breathe steam: put a cup of boiling water in a big cup, lean your face on it, and do deep breathing exercises against the rising hot air until the water in the cup is cold, several times a day. This method is effective in treating colds, especially the first cold.
16. Wash your face with cold water: This method generally starts in summer and continues in autumn and winter to enhance its suitability. Washing your face with cold boiled water every morning and evening can increase the blood circulation of your face, improve your ability to resist diseases and cold, and thus prevent colds.
17. Eat sea cucumber: Sea cucumber can effectively improve human immunity. Coastal residents generally choose to eat in winter, starting in September and ending in September, 998 1 piece (sea cucumber can be cut into 2-3 pieces). After continuous eating, it can get rid of old diseases, enhance physical fitness, be disease-free in the coming year and enhance immunity. Therefore, although fishermen live in a humid environment all the year round, there are few incurable diseases such as arthritis, tracheitis, cold, headache and backache. This is also an important reason for the island's longevity. If you often catch a cold, eat some sea cucumber. Eating regularly can not only prevent colds, but also greatly reduce the occurrence of other diseases.
Don't exercise during a cold.
I have just caught a cold, and when the discomfort is not obvious, I go to play ball games and run, sweating all over, so that the symptoms of a cold can be alleviated. Wang Anli, director of the Sports Medicine Teaching and Research Section of Beijing Sport University, said that this is not a "prescription" for treating colds, and the result of exercise can only turn a small cold into a serious illness like "carrying firewood to put out a fire".
When you exercise, you will sweat a lot, and the toxins in your body will be excreted quickly. On the surface, it can temporarily relieve cold symptoms, but it will bury many "hidden dangers", because about 24 hours after strenuous exercise, there will be immunosuppression. During this time, immune cells will start to "strike" and rest. When the cold virus invades your body, you need the immune system to fight it. No immune cells and cold germs. At the same time, after exercise, the body's metabolism will be more vigorous, and it will consume a lot of sugar, fat and protein. In the body, it weakens the body's resistance. In crowded sports occasions, the "fragile" resistance often cannot withstand any bacterial attack, which aggravates the degree of cold.
Strengthening the body's own disease resistance is the best way to prevent acute upper respiratory tract infection. For example, regular physical exercise and cold water bath can improve the body's ability to prevent diseases and adapt to cold. Do a good job in cold prevention and avoid the cause of illness. Live regularly and avoid overwork, especially at night. Pay attention to the isolation of respiratory patients to prevent cross-infection.
