Inhalation of potatoes - a safe method of treating colds. Potato inhalation

Coughing and sore throat are unpleasant symptoms that can seriously ruin a person’s life. This is especially true of dry, so-called unproductive cough - they occur due to dryness, irritation or inflammation of the mucous membranes. What do these unpleasant phenomena say, and what methods allow you to quickly and effectively get rid of them?

Grate throat and dry cough - how to cure correctly

There may be several reasons for dry cough and discomfort in the throat, but in any case there is a certain agent that causes discomfort. With SARS, for example, they are affected by a virus that caused the disease, with allergies - an allergen, etc. More rare causes include gastrointestinal problems, throat and thyroid tumors, stress and neurosis.

In order to correctly identify the factor that provoked the appearance of cough, it is necessary to remember how long the patient experiences discomfort, at what time the most severe attacks occur, and what additional symptoms they accompany. For example, bronchial asthma is characterized by nighttime coughing attacks, and for a bronchitis smoker - morning. In addition, it is very important to distinguish a cold cough from allergic or cardiac, since taking antitussive drugs in such cases can only aggravate the patient's condition.

In other words, cough and discomfort in the throat are not the cause, but the consequence of a certain disease, for which the main therapeutic measures should be directed to treatment. But to relieve these unpleasant symptoms can be used as folk remedies, and special pharmaceutical preparations.

Folk remedies for the treatment of dry cough

Dry cough - treatment of folk remedies

To facilitate coughing and reduce the intensity of attacks, you should create a normal microclimate in the room where the patient is located. It is necessary to regularly carry out wet cleaning, dust and air.

The air should be sufficiently humid, and the temperature should not exceed 22 ° C (this is a good prevention of drying and irritation of the throat mucosa).

In addition, you need to drink as much liquid as possible, starting with plain water and ending with herbal decoctions and tea with raspberries, lemon, honey.

It is very useful to include chicken broth and mashed potatoes with butter in the menu - they lubricate the throat and facilitate coughing.

Alcohol, carbonated drinks, citrus juices and coffee are recommended to be abandoned, as these drinks only increase discomfort in the throat.

Inhalation

Inhalation soothes the throat well, relieves discomfort and contributes to the liquefaction of sputum. Particularly effective inhalation with essential oils of mint, eucalyptus, lavender, cedar and incense. You need to take half a liter of boiling water, add 2-3 drops of oil and breathe over the steam.

Gargles

If the cough is caused solely by a sore throat, it should be rinsed regularly, using emollient and anti-inflammatory herbal decoctions. Chamomile, sage, coltsfoot, mint and fennel fruits are good helpers. Brewing herbs and fruits in the usual way and cooling them to a tolerable temperature is not strictly recommended to gargle with too hot liquid, as this can lead to severe burns of the mucous membranes.

Compresses

Compresses are very effective as part of complex therapy in the treatment of dry cough, but it is important to remember that they are strictly forbidden to do at high temperatures, otherwise they will only intensify the inflammatory process. Also, they are not recommended for babies, especially when it comes to alcohol compresses.

Any compress consists of several layers: the inner layer, which is impregnated with healing means, the middle layer, which isolates its course, and the outer layer of insulation.

As a basis for a compress, you can use any product or liquid that can keep warm for a certain time: the most popular are potatoes, vodka, mustard, and animal fat (bear, pork, lamb, goose).

Milk

Warm milk is the simplest and widespread remedy for eliminating dry cough. There are several recipes that are used to alleviate unpleasant symptoms and reduce the intensity of attacks. For example, take a spoonful of honey and a little soda for a glass of warm milk.

Take the drink should be throughout the day - it has not only expectorant, but also diaphoretic action, which is very important for cleansing the body of toxins.

To soften the irritated throat and reduce the painful sensations, milk with added butter (50 g per cup) is used. Especially effective this recipe for night cough, which interferes with sleep.

But to eliminate dryness in the throat, milk with mineral water is used - they must be mixed in equal parts and taken several times a day (it is important to remember that mineral water must be taken alkaline, and milk should be heated to room temperature).

Ginger, propolis, garlic and even a banana can be added to milk. Children especially like the last remedy.

As an expectorant and antitussive radish has been used for a long time. It contains essential oils as well as lysozyme, that is, a natural antibacterial agent with an anti-inflammatory effect. Radish-based cough suppressants can also be cooked in several ways, using both black and white or green vegetables.

Recipe number 1. Grate radish, squeeze the juice (to eliminate bitterness, you can add a little sugar). Take the resulting liquid at least four to six times a day for a teaspoon.

Recipe number 2.  In the case of a large fruit, cut off the lower part and remove a little pulp with a spoon so that a hollow is obtained, and put honey in it, without filling it to the top. After that, drop the radish into a container with water, and after 3-4 hours the agent can be consumed.

Bow

Onions - a good natural antiseptic that copes not only with viruses and bacteria, but also with a dry cough.

It can be eaten raw or baked, as well as made from it medicinal syrup. Take a pound of peeled and chopped onion, pour 400 g of sugar, pour in a liter of water, then boil the mixture over low heat for at least three hours. Allow to cool, mix with 50 g of honey, pour into a glass container and close well. Drink 4-6 tablespoons daily after meals.

Another way to prepare this medicine: sprinkle chopped onion with sugar (2 tablespoons) and leave overnight. Over the next day you need to eat candied onions and drink the resulting liquid. To be treated in this way should be for several days in a row.

A proven recipe, which is often used to relieve a non-productive cough, includes lemon and glycerin. Well squeeze the juice, pour into a 250-gram container, dissolve in it 2 tbsp. l glycerol, mix well and such an amount of honey that the liquid filled the tank to the top. With a rare cough, the medicine is taken in a teaspoon three times a day, if the seizures are constantly tortured - six teaspoons per day, and to reduce the intensity of nighttime seizures, you need to drink a teaspoon in the evening and at night.

Elecampane

Among medicinal plants  The most effective antitussive remedy is considered to be devasil, or rather, its root. Preparing the tool as follows: 20 g of dried chopped raw materials pour 250 g of water, cook for 10 minutes, then infuse for four hours. Drink a tablespoon 4 times a day for 20 minutes before meals.

It is important to note that if a cough for a long time does not respond to treatment with chemist's or traditional methods, it is necessary to consult a specialist as soon as possible, since in this case it can be a symptom of serious diseases.
