How to Make a Nasal Straw for Colds and Flu
Chinese Medicine has many recommendations for staying healthy and well for all seasons. In the fall, when the weather is starting to get cold and the days shorten, the lungs and our respiratory system become more vulnerable to disease. People with asthma may begin to have more frequent attacks. One of them is more likely to catch a cold or down with the flu.
In Chinese medicine, the lungs are governed by the element of metal. The metal element is related to the fall. In the fall, the metal element, so that the lungs are in danger, particularly in people who are susceptible to respiratory illnesses anyway.
The Chinese believe that the lungs (which in Chinese medicine are the respiratory and immune system completely, not just the anatomical body of the lungs) control opening and closing the pores of the skin. When the lungs are weak, the skin pores are open, making the body more vulnerable to pathogens external. These external pathogens are related to wind, probably because the Chinese have noticed a correlation between the days of wind and cold peoplee projects with a tendency to go down with colds, flu, allergies and asthma. They also noticed that people start to shake more before they come down with certain conditions, and correlated with the wind too.
They also believed that the neck and back are most vulnerable to attack by wind, probably because people often rigid and sore in that area of the body before they come to a cold or flu. I have personally noticed that the first time you start to feel as if coming down with a cold or flu, I notice that sensitizes me any slight breeze or draft in my environment. If at this point to start to save my neck well covered with a scarf and keep the back of my body, protected, you can usually avoid coming down with a cold or flu. Even if you're skeptical about this theory, would certainly do no harm to try this for yourself.
Astragalus is often used to boost immunity and increase resistance to disease to prepare for fall. The Chinese believe that the talus assistance from the lungs by closing the pores of the body, preventing pathogens from gaining a foothold in the body. Modern research has also audited the purpose of improving the immunity of the talus. Research has shown that increases phagocytosis and increases the amount of white blood cells. Research China has demonstrated a protective effect against the common cold when taken always from two to eight weeks. Astragalus is an herb that works best as a long term measure custody. It is best taken as a tea through the season of colds and flu to improve immunity and prevent disease. There is an excellent formula called Jade Windscreen formula, or Yu Ping Feng San, which includes the talus, which often can be found in natural food stores and Asian markets. It is useful to take during any the season to boost the body's resistance to colds, flu, allergies and asthma.
If you already have a full case early blow cold or flu, the Chinese believe that because the pathogen is already within the body, the best you can do is open the pores and promote sweating in order to expel pathogens from the body. As a result, it is good to take astragalus or Jade Windscreen Formula, while it actually has a cold or flu. The Chinese believe that an herb like astragalus, which has a closing of the pores and reduce sweating, could prolong a cold or flu, if you take it when sick. To open the pores and promote sweating, it's best tea of ginger or cinnamon, or the Chinese formula of patents, Gan Mao Ling. They have hot soups, and take warm baths with three drops of eucalyptus, lemon, essential oil or tea tree. All these things can help a cold sweat. These remedies are useful when you feel stiff and sore, and have a stuffy or runny nose and watery eyes with clear phlegm.
Hopefully that in taking the above advice, you will be able to prevent their advance cold or occur at all. If the cold does progress to the point of having a headache, fever, sore throat and cough with sticky yellow or green phlegm, a different strategy is needed. All these symptoms indicate an infection or an inflammatory response of the body. Tea mint with lemon and honey can be soothing for coughs and sore throats. The patent formula, Yin Qiao San, which has Forsythia Honeysuckle and it can help with these symptoms. Yin Qiao San are also useful for allergy and the symptoms of hay fever, itchy red eyes and throat. The patent formula, Gan Mao Ling is still useful because it is thought to be anti-viral and antibacterial properties. Gargling with warm water, salt can help with sore throat. Hot baths with 3 drops of eucalyptus, lemon or tea tree oil are also still useful because these essential oils are also considered to be anti-viral and antibacterial properties. Of course, if severe symptoms, it is important to see your doctor.
As you can see, the progression to a case of a common cold or flu is a process multiple stages. The earlier works to prevent the problem and strengthening your body's resistance of the best. In the fall, when days are getting getting shorter and colder, it is important to increase the strength of your body and increase resistance to disease throughout the season. Of course, if you come to a complete case blown cold or flu, there is still smooth and safe traditional Chinese remedies that can address your condition.
