12 natural treatments for your health

High fever, terrible cough, bad health .... These are just a few "favorite" things in case of illness. Fortunately, in some cases, the disease can be easily prevented, and even if you are already sick, natural and herbal remedies can help reduce the duration of the illness and accelerate recovery. In the current winter situation of snow and cold weather, the recipes below are more than relevant.



1) Thymus from a cough


If you are tortured by a cough, and standard pharmacy syrups do not help, try tea with thyme. Add three tablespoons of dried thyme to half a liter of boiling water. Allow to cool, then add one cup (250 ml) of honey. Take one teaspoon as needed. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three months.



2) Vitamin C for prevention


Season diseases last from October to March. Many people during this period have time to "catch" the virus 2-3 times per season.


To protect yourself from viruses, strengthen your immune system with natural sources of vitamin C.


Studies show that vitamins in tablets are not as effective in resisting many diseases as natural. In addition to vitamin C, the help of the immune system in protecting against diseases is Andrographis, zinc and elderberry extract, but vitamin C beats all records. You, probably, will be surprised, having learned, that oranges do not head the list of products rich in vitamins ?.


Below is a list of products and the amount of vitamin C per 100 g of product:


rose hips 650 mg


red sweet pepper 250 mg


sea buckthorn, black currant 200 mg


horseradish, dill, parsley greens 120-130 mg


grapefruit 60 mg


orange, lemon 50 mg



3) Garlic for the stuffy nose


There is no better way to get rid of the stuffy nose than to blow it off qualitatively, but garlic can help. Add garlic every time to food during treatment, if you are sick, or just to strengthen immunity, and it will help keep your nose from infection or a virus.



4) The greens will strengthen the vessels


Dry indoor air combined with a constant sneeze can cause bleeding from the nose. A daily portion of greenery (in the amount of 200-300 grams) can provide enough vitamin K to strengthen sensitive capillaries and promote rapid blood clotting.



5) Useful herbal tea, honey, and cinnamon


At the first sign of illness, brew hot herbal tea with lemon. Heat will help stimulate the immune system, and various herbs will help in the fight against infection.


Cinnamon is more than a natural stabilizer of blood sugar, it is also an effective antiviral agent and antibiotic. If you feel the first signs of the disease, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a teaspoon of honey and brew spicy and very effective tea that will help get rid of cough and reduce heat (be careful, a large amount of spice can have side effects).



6) Carrots against headache


If with the arrival of the autumn-winter period you have frequent headaches, a simple salad will help to avoid this unpleasant illness.

Phytonutrients in fresh foods, such as beta-carotene in carrots, can reduce inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain. Consumption of 400 grams of carrots per day helps some to reduce a headache by 70%.



7) Nuts for energy


Watching the sunset of a short winter day from the window of your office is, of course, unpleasant. And in this short day you need to find time to work, laugh, train and, if possible, get enough sleep. To all this was enough energy, include in your diet unsalted nuts, such as almonds. Raisins and dried apricots are also a good option. And the bonus - nuts is an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.



8) Lavender from anxiety

Fireworks or Bengal lights can leave unpleasant memories in the form of burns. Even with a slight burn, apply chopped tomato to the burn site and allow the juice to dry completely. Tomatoes have the largest amount of natural lycopene, an antioxidant that has an anti-inflammatory effect.



11) Celery for a better sleep


We have already mentioned stress in connection with the winter period. If all the non-medicament means did not work and a calm sleep left you, try a little fresh celery for the night. It contains a strong natural sedative component - phthalide.
