Fighting the flu naturally - home remedies and other tips

Causes

The flu is caused by various influenza viruses. It is mainly spread by droplet infection when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. However, the viruses can also be transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces.

Symptoms and risk groups

Typical symptoms of the flu are sudden high fever, dry cough, sore throat, headache and muscle aches, tiredness, cold and chills. The fever can refer to an elevated temperature, but can also rise to temperatures above 38°C. These symptoms can vary from person to person and change as the illness progresses. In some cases, especially in children, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting may also occur. You should know that the symptoms can be very similar to those of a cold. However, the flu is usually more severe and can lead to more serious complications. The risk groups are mainly older people, pregnant women, children and people with weakened immune systems.

Natural home remedies

There are a few home remedies that can help to alleviate your symptoms. Our first tip is obvious, but very important: sufficient fluid intake. You should also keep to bed rest. You can try a honey and lemon mixture to relieve sore throats, while ginger tea can have an anti-inflammatory effect. To soothe your throat, you can gargle with warm salt water; steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil can help to clear your nasal passages. Other tips include traditional chicken soup and vitamin-rich foods such as oranges and kiwis. Essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus oil can also help to relieve coughs and open up the airways.

Natural relief for COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Causes

The best-known cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the Smoking. It doesn't matter whether you are an active smoker or a passive smoker, the decisive factor is long-term contact with cigarette smoke. Due to its many toxic substances, tobacco smoke leads to inflammation and damage to the alveoli and airways. This causes increased mucus production and inflammation as well as swelling of the mucous membranes. Ultimately, these processes lead to a narrowing of the bronchial tubes, which impairs the body's oxygen supply. In rare cases, genetics can play a role, as in the case of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, an enzyme that protects the lungs.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of COPD include: persistent cough, sputum production, increased mucus production, shortness of breath, chest tightness, weight loss, sleep problems and muscle weakness.

Natural home remedies

To support your medical therapy, there are some Natural approachesthat can alleviate your symptoms. A balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables, lean protein and wholegrain products can strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation. People with COPD should consciously pay attention to abdominal breathing, as this, in contrast to chest breathing, ventilates the whole lung. One of the most tried and tested breathing exercises is the lip brake. In this exercise, you exhale with your lips slightly open, which creates a higher exhalation resistance. This can reduce the constriction of the airways during exhalation.

How you can relieve your asthma symptoms naturally

Causes

The exact causes of Asthma have unfortunately not yet been fully researched, but there are a number of factors that play a role. These include genetic factors and various environmental influences. Asthma occurs more frequently in families with a history of asthma or allergies. Environmental factors include allergens such as pollen, animal dander, house dust mites and mold spores. These can trigger inflammation in the airways. Other risk factors for asthma are frequent respiratory infections, air pollution and tobacco smoke.

Symptoms

Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, a nagging cough and shortness of breath, especially on exertion or at night. Shortness of breath occurs when your airways become inflamed and constricted, as this affects the flow of air in and out of your lungs. Another common symptom is the Irritant cough. It is also triggered by the inflammation and constriction of the airways and can be particularly bad at night. The cough is usually dry and can occur in attacks, especially if you are exposed to allergens or cold air.

Natural home remedies

To relieve these symptoms, you can try various measures, such as steam inhalation. For this, fill a container with hot, non-boiling water and add tea bags or eucalyptus/peppermint essential oil. This can help to moisten the airways and loosen mucus. The all-rounder ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect. You can prepare it as a tea by pouring hot water over fresh ginger and sweetening it with honey. Turmeric can also have anti-inflammatory properties and soothe the airways. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in high concentrations in fish oil, linseed and walnuts, can also reduce inflammation. Breathing exercises such as the lip-braking method can help you with shortness of breath. In this exercise, you exhale with your lips slightly open, which creates a higher exhalation resistance. This can reduce the constriction of the airways during exhalation.

Some risk factors for rheumatism are obesity, diabetes, lack of exercise and smoking. Smoking not only increases the risk of developing the disease, but can also worsen the course of rheumatism.

Symptoms

The symptoms of rheumatism can be very varied and range from joint pain and stiffness to swelling and inflammation. These symptoms can significantly affect your quality of life and make daily activities difficult.

Natural home remedies

There are a number of measures that may help to alleviate your pain. These include cold compresses or warm baths and compresses, which can reduce pain and inflammation.

Natural treatment for GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease

Causes

The causes of Heartburn can be very diverse and are often associated with impaired function of the sphincter muscle at the entrance to the stomach. This normally prevents the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. This backflow, also known as reflux, can be triggered by various factors. These include large meals, spicy or fatty foods, the consumption of alcohol, coffee or nicotine as well as hormonal changes. During pregnancy, heartburn occurs more frequently due to the growing uterus pressing on the stomach. In addition, hormonal fluctuations can affect the elasticity of the tissue. Stress can also promote the formation of stomach acid and impair the function of the digestive tract.

Symptoms

Heartburn is often accompanied by burning pain in the upper abdomen or behind the breastbone. This pain can often radiate into the oesophagus or throat. This can be accompanied by a feeling of pressure and sour or bitter belching.

Lifestyle adjustments for heartburn

Lifestyle adjustments in particular have proven to be very effective in relieving heartburn. These can include changes in your dietary habits such as reducing potential triggers like alcohol and nicotine. Stress reduction through relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga and regular outdoor exercise can also be effective.
