13 Natural Remedies for Runny Nose

13 Natural Remedies for Runny Nose

Runny nose (rhinorrhea), as the name suggests, refers to a condition when your nostrils keep on discharging a fluid. It happens due to congestion and inflammation of the linings in your nasal passages and sinuses, mostly caused by a viral infection which we know as common cold. The other causes that lead to the swelling of inner linings of nose and sinus include allergy, flu or sinus infection. Mucus is continually produced by the glands in your nose and sinuses. The membranes in the nose cleans up this mucus and help fight infections. Sometimes, the mucus production suddenly increases in an attempt to clear off viruses or allergens. Inflammation caused by virus increases leakage of fluid from the blood vessels into the lining of the nose and also into the nose. This leads to swelling up of nose lining resulting into obstruction of air flow and a runny nose. Allergens, on the other hand, makes cells in the lining of the nose and the airways of the lungs release histamine and other chemicals which further lead to leakage of fluid, runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. Anti-histamines, decongestants and sometimes even antibiotics are used by doctors to treat runny nose and other accompanying symptoms. But they all come with their own side effects. Here are some safe and natural home remedies for runny nose that can give you relief from this very uncomfortable condition and help expel the fluid comfortably.


Natural Remedies for Runny Nose
1. Salt Water Rinse for Runny Nose
Salt water rinse is one of the most effective home remedies for runny nose. Salt water in form of saline spray is even recommended by doctors to help the mucus expel easily out of nose. It thins the mucus and helps it come out easily so that you get rid of all the irritants. This remedy is safe for kids and babies too. You may buy saline spray or make your own salt water rinse at home.

Get this:
Salt- ¼ – ½ tsp
Warm water- 2 cups (you can even use water at normal temperature if its not cold)
Suction bulb/ dropper (optional)

Do this:
Dissolve the salt in the warm water.
Using the suction bulb or dropper, pour some salt water in one of your nostrils.
If you are not using any of these, take some water in your hands and sniff it up with one of your nostrils.
Now gently blow your nose to expel the salt water along with which the mucus will also come out.
Repeat the process with the other nostril.
Do this 2-3 times a day or whenever you feel the requirement to clear your nose of mucus.

2. Steam Inhalation for Relief from Runny Nose
This is yet another traditional remedy for runny and stuffy nose. When you inhale steam, it helps loosen up the mucus so that you may be able to easily blow your nose clear and get rid of the congestion. Although steam coming out of plain hot water is also effective, when you make this a herbal steam by adding such herbs as mint, ginger or essential oils like eucalyptus, camphor, thymol, pine oil etc. you ensure fast comfort for longer time.

Get this:
Bowl
Hot water
Towel

Do this:
Fill the bowl halfway with hot water.
Tilt your face downwards towards the bowl.
Now take the towel over your head and place it there holding it with both your hands at the corners in a way that ensures the steam doesn’t escape out.
Close your eyes because steam can damage them.
Now breath deeply so that the steam enters your nose to give you relief from nasal congestion and runny nose.

3. Mustard Oil for Runny Nose
The warm and pungent mustard oil has been traditionally used as mucolytic. Mucolytics break up mucous and help draining out sinuses. It has anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. Glucosinolate found in mustard oil fights off microbes while the allyl isothiocyanate combats fungal infection. There are various isothiocyanates also in mustard oil that inhibit a number of bacteria strains. Thus, this oil not only help drain out the fluid from your nose but also helps in curing the underlying infections that give you runny nose.

Get this:
Mustard oil- 2-4 drops
Dropper/ squeeze bottle/cotton ball

Do this:
Take the oil into dropper. You may also store some oil into a squeeze bottle to use it regularly or use a cotton ball soaked in mustard oil.
Pour 1-2 drops of mustard oil in each of your nostrils.
Keep your head tilted for few seconds so that the oil gets into your nose and sinuses.
After some time, you’ll feel the need to blow your nose.
Gently blow your nose. The oil lubricates and moistens any dry object or dirt etc. in your nose and sinuses. All these dirt comes out along with mucous when you blow your nose.

4. Ginger for Runny Nose

Ginger is one of the finest natural anti-inflammatory herbs of our times and is also easily available in our kitchens. Ginger has various antioxidants along with antiviral and anti-bacterial properties. It helps loosen phlegm and also give relief from respiratory discomforts. It is thus, not only good for runny nose but even for other symptoms of cold and flu like sore throat and fever etc.
Ways to Use Ginger for Runny Nose
Cut slices of ginger and chew them raw. If you can’t tolerate its hot and somewhat pungent taste, use some salt or even honey to make it palatable.
Make ginger tea to cure your runny nose. Take 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger and cut it into slices. Place these slices in a cup and pour hot water over it. Let steep for about 10 minutes. You may strain or leave the ginger pieces settled at the bottom. You may also add a little honey to this ginger tea.
Inhale steam after boiling some pieces of ginger in a bowl of water.

5. Garlic for Runny Nose
Yet another common herb from kitchen, garlic is known for its excellent antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. It cures your common cold, influenza, sinus infections and not only their symptom aka runny nose. While you can chew 1-2 cloves of garlic if you can stand the bad breath afterwards, making garlic tea by steeping it in hot water seems rather easy a remedy.

Olive oil could help prevent cancer:

Olive oil could help prevent cancer:

Adding plenty of olive oil to diet could protect you from cancer, suggests a new study.
Olive oil contains a number of compounds, called phenols, which are believed to act as powerful antioxidants.
Scientists led by Henrik Poulsen at the Copenhagen University Hospital looked at 182 healthy men aged between 20 and 60 from five European countries.
They found that those who had 25 millilitres of olive oil per day had reduced levels of a substance, which indicates cell damage, according to the online edition of BBC News.
The scientists added either virgin, common or refined olive oil to their diets over two weeks. At the end of the study, scientists measured levels of the substance, which indicates oxidative damage to cells, called 8oxodG, in the men's urine.
Oxidative damage is a process whereby the metabolic balance of a cell is disrupted by exposure to substances that result in the accumulation of free-radicals, which can then damage the cell.
The men were found to have around 13 percent less 8oxodG compared with their levels at the beginning of the study, the researchers write in the FASEB journal.
"These data may explain why many cancer rates are higher in northern Europe than the south, where olive oil is a major part of the diet," the scientists said.
"Although this study suggests that olive oil can reduce DNA damage that could lead to the development of cancer, more long-term research is needed to confirm these effects," Anthea Martin, science information officer at Cancer Research UK, said.

कहावत है कि ’जैसा खाये अन्न वैसा बने मन । ’ खुराक के स्थूल भाग से स्थूल शरीर और सूक्ष्म भाग से सूक्ष्म शरीर अर्थात् मन का निर्माण होता है । इसलिए सदैव सत्त्वगुणी खुराक लीजिये ।
दारु-शराब, मांस-मछली, बीड़ी-तम्बाकू, अफीम-गाँजा, चाय आदि वस्तुओं से प्रयत्नपूर्वक दूर रहिये । रजोगुणी तथा तमोगुणी खुराक से मन अधिक मलिन तथा परिणाम में अधिक अशांत होता है । सत्त्वगुणी खुराक से मन शुद्ध और शांत होता है ।
प्रदोष काल में किये गये आहार और मैथुन से मन मलिन होता है और आधि-व्याधियाँ बढ़ती हैं । मन की लोलुपता जिन पदार्थो पर हो वे पदार्थ उसे न दें । इससे मन के हठ का शनैः-शनैः शमन हो जायेगा ।
भोजन के विषय में ऋषियों द्वारा बतायी हुई कुछ बातें ध्यान में रखनी चाहिए :
१. हाथ-पैर-मुँह धोकर पूर्वाभिमुख बैठकर मौन भाव से भोजन करें । जिनके माता-पिता जीवित हों, वे दक्षिण दिशा की ओर् मुख करके भोजन न करें । भोजन करते समय बायें हाथ से अन्न् का स्पर्श न करें और चरण, मस्तक तथा अण्डकोष को भी न छूएँ ।केवल प्राणादि के लिए पाँच ग्रास अर्पण करते समय तक बाय़ें हाथ से पात्र को पकड़े रहें, उसके बाद छोड़ दें ।
२. भोजन के समय हाथ घुटनों के बाहर न करें । भोजन-काल में बायें हाथ से जलपात्र उठाकर दाहिने हाथ की कलाई पर रखकर यदि पानी पियें तो वह पात्र भोजन समाप्त होने तक जूठा नहीं माना जाता, ऎसा मनु महाराज का कथन है । यदि भोजन करता हुआ द्विज किसी दूसरे भोजन करते हुए द्विज को छू ले तो दोनों को ही भोजन छोड़ देना चाहिए ।
३. रात्रि को भोजन करते समय यदि दीप बुझ जाय तो भोजन रोक दें और दायें हाथ से अन्न् को स्पर्श करते हुए मन-ही-मन गायत्री का स्मरण करें । पुनः दीप जलने के बाद ही भोजन शरु करें ।
४. अधिक मात्रा में भोजन करने से आयु तथा आरोग्यता का नाश होता है । उदर का आधा भाग अन्न से भरो, चौथाई भाग जल से भरो और चौथाई भाग वायु के आवागमन के लिए खाली रखो ।
५. भोजन के बाद थोड़ी देर तक बैठो । फिर् सौ कदम चलकर कुछ देर तक बाइँ करवट लेटे रहो तो अन्न ठीक ढंग से पचता है । भोजन के अन्त में भगवान को अर्पण किया हुआ तुलसीदल खाना चाहिए ।
भोजन विषयक इन सब बातों को आचार में लाने से जीवन में सत्वगुण की वृद्धि होती है ।

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY

'REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY' ~

By: Dr. Lai Chiu Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. Dr. Lai is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. "Cancer is never the first illness," Dr. Lai points out. "Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.

In my research in China , I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area." So if you think you have gallstones, Dr. Lai offers the following method to remove them naturally.

The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

Regimen:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.

2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.

3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.

4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.

5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.

The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.
