A runny nose is one of the most unpleasant manifestations of a cold. It deprives the sense of smell, and with it, often, and appetite, interferes with sleep and seriously impairs overall health. You can cope with a runny nose with the help of vasoconstrictor or antiviral drops, but folk remedies are no less effective.
Necessary
aloe juice; - water; - honey; - beet juice; - iodine; - horseradish; - lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1
The most common folk remedy for the common cold is aloe juice. Bury it in each nasal passage 3-4 times a day. If you have any discomfort, dilute the juice with water in a 1: 1 ratio. If you are not allergic to bee products, add some honey to the juice. Usually, a three-day course of treatment is sufficient to eliminate all symptoms of a cold.
Step 2
Beet juice is no less effective. Bury it three times a day, 2-4 drops. In children, beetroot juice can irritate the mucous membrane, and therefore it is better to use it diluted. You can also put cotton swabs soaked in juice into the nasal passages.
Step 3
Iodine is a good remedy for the common cold. At night, smear it on the wings of the nose and draw a line a centimeter thick just above the eyebrows. In the morning, not a trace of iodine will remain, as well as from a cold. You can also grease your feet with iodine, and then put on warm socks on your feet. Two or three such procedures will be required.
Step 4
Grate horseradish on a fine grater, put it in a jar and close it with a lid for 15-20 minutes. After that, open the can and take a deep breath over it with your mouth. Hold your breath for a few seconds and exhale slowly through your nose. Repeat the procedure three times. Such inhalations are effective not only for mild rhinitis, but also for its complications.
Step 5
At the first sign of a runny nose, lubricate the wings of the nose with lemon juice. In case of profuse discharge, drip a drop of juice into each nostril. At the same time, the sensations are not the most pleasant, but the effect of the treatment is felt after the very first procedure.
