EFFECTIVE NATURAL TREATMENT FOR SWINE FLU
by Dr. Leo Rebello
"Prevention is better than cure" goes an old medical maxim. Therefore, no need to stock Tamiflu or rush to get yourself admitted in Hospital, where your condition may worsen with cross infection and drug overdose. You should always remember my 'Health Care is Self Care' principle. Over dependence on Drugs, Doctors and Devils is not advisable.
Here is what you do to treat yourself and your family from H1N1 (a new label for influenza). It takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms of throat pain, sneezing, cough, fever and headache.
1. Wash your hands often preferably with warm water.
2. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water. Warm salt water gargling is better than Tamiflu, which will invariably give you adverse effect.
3. Clean your nostrils at least once a day with warm salt water (called Jala Neti or Sutra Neti in Yoga). Or simple blowing of the nose first thing in the morning and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective.
4. Boost your natural immunity with foods rich in Vitamin C (like amla, orange, sweet lime, pineapple and sour lime diluted with warm water for senior citizens and children below 10).
5. Drink warm liquids (like green tea, ginger tea, lemon tea, etc) at periodic intervals. This will push the 'viruses' from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, as stomach contains hydrochloric acid.
6. In Homeopathy we have very effective remedies, like Aconite, Ars Alb, Hepar Sulph, Influenzinum, Rhus Tox, etc.
7. In Herbs, we have Tulsi, Eucalyptus, Neem, Green Tea, Ginger, Garlic and Onion.
8. Tie your neck with poultice of hot rice for about 10 minutes in case of much throat pain.
9. Apply turmeric paste mixed in coconut oil on your tongue. No need for antibiotics.
10. Gargle with food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural and effective anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Put 2 drops in ears to prevent virus going to the throat.
11. Finally, I have found Unani medicine Zinda Tillismath very effective in Influenza, and other fevers, cough and cold, including pneumonia. Apply a few drops on your nostrils, lips, throat, ear lobes and forehead.
12. Rest and recoup.
