Ayurvedic Cures for Swine Flu

August 21, 2009


The ongoing swine flu pandemic is beginning to hinder daily activities and has caused wide spread panic in several countries. While everyone is living in fear of the dreaded flu; one must take solace in the fact that there are several remedies and preventive measures that ensure your protection and cure. While most countries are requesting people not to use the vaccine drug without prescription; there are several other forms of medication that are known to be effective as a remedy for the viral flu.

Ayurveda; a form of medication that originated in India speaks about this disease. It does not term it as swine flu; however it lists the symptoms of the flu and has various remedies for it as well. When the flu invades your immune system; there are several herbs that are useful to get rid of the virus.

One of the easiest remedies that you can use to protect yourself is to have honey. Add a spoon of honey to hot water; boil the water if possible and drink it as hot as you can. Since honey has anti bacterial properties it helps to protect you against any germs that you may have contracted. It also helps to prevent any viruses from being able to infect your immune system. Adding honey to a warm glass of milk is also an effective remedy. You can also add honey to your breakfast toast or bread.

Ginger is another helpful herb. This herb can be added to a cup of tea or to your food preparation. Its pungent taste and ripe odor helps to fight infections. If you have flu then you must brew a piece of ginger with your tea or mix powder ginger with a spoon of honey and have this concoction 2 to 3 times a day.

Pepper is also an effective herb. This herb helps to get rid of any throat congestion. Add it to a glass of hot milk along with a dash of turmeric and a spoon of honey. The blend of all the herbs will help to get rid of any mucus and prevent further congestion in the throat.
