Yes, the method is not too humane, I guess)) But it helps. And the paste of fresh root can substitute a yellow card. One drawback: in winter, this method may not be available. Thrifty gardeners this is the case prepared tincture (1 medium-sized root of horseradish in a bottle of vodka), which is used for compresses or rubbing, and oral, to rinse (of course, in a diluted form).

It's worth noting that canned shit, especially those containing various additives, loses the lion's share of its beneficial properties. But if there is no other option, try to at least choose a natural product that contains nothing except the actual horseradish root, salt and vinegar. Now it is a rarity, unfortunately, a jar is significantly more expensive than those that are Packed with preservatives, but health is something even more expensive…

And it is not necessary to wait for the moment when the cold or flu, that is, take by the throat — better make it a habit every day to eat at least one clove of garlic.

As in the case of garlic, the most simple and effective way is to regularly eat fresh onions. Fortunately, the grow it is not difficult, can be stored at home for every vacationer afford to stock up on medicinal product for the whole winter.

A favorite pastime of most gardeners — distillation vitamin greens in boxes, pots or just jars with water. Add some variety — add to homemade "patches" long bows (in particular, chives, onion slizun grow well in pot culture, only the planting material should fall since the fall is to grow them at home from seed too troublesome and inefficient).

Dogrose

By itself, the rose hips from a cold or flu you probably will not cure. But to avoid misfortune — will help. Enough in the fall to stock up on fruits, red in on thorny bushes, dry them, and in winter regularly prepare vitamin tea, brewing 1 tablespoon of crushed rose hips Cup of boiling water (most convenient to do this in a thermos, but you can on a water bath, heated 15 minutes).

The thing is unique "bouquet" of vitamins and minerals that nature has endowed this plant. Thanks to him, the rose is considered one of the best natural remedies for the prevention of beriberi and regulation of metabolism. Folk medicine uses not only the fruit but also the leaves and roots of wild rose, doctoring with their help a variety of ailments. Well, we — always busy — can, in the end, just to be able to buy over the counter rose hip syrup (remember, maybe someone in the childhood surely they are the parents fed)). In the same pharmacy and there are dried fruits — if self procure not in time.

For the preparation of a vitamin drink you can mix the rose hips with dried berries of mountain ash in equal parts (to brew as well). You can add chopped fruits to the usual tea — and it will also be useful. Just remember: if you use the rose hips regularly, you should do a 10 day break every 30 days of intake of a vitamin drink. And those who suffer from diseases of the stomach (especially given the high acidity of gastric juice), you should use such a decoction soon after eating.

Echinacea 

This beauty lives in many gardens, but it is valued not only for its excellent appearance. Echinacea purpurea is a powerful tool to restore the disturbed immune system. Its properties are recognized by official medicine and in the pharmacy you can buy ready-made tincture of Echinacea and the drug Immunal containing the juice of the plant. The use of Echinacea preparations are recommended for the prevention of influenza and colds, as well as to increase protective forces of an organism, if the disease has already happened (including, illustrates the use of Echinacea prolonged treatment with antibiotics).

Nineteen million three hundred ninety four thousand six hundred ninety three

The ability of Echinacea extract to suppress the growth not only of influenza viruses but also of streptococci, staphylococci, E. coli, and therefore the funds on the basis of the juice of this plant is used in the treatment of a variety of diseases. The most effective is considered alcohol infusion — aqueous preparations are prepared and are used less frequently. But during an epidemic of influenza is useful even just to chew the root plants (if stocked, of course) — all part of the healing.

Note: although Echinacea preparations are not toxic, they should not be given to children under 1 year. They are contraindicated when such serious diseases as leukemia, multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis. In addition, the individual intolerance, hypersensitivity, therefore, to start using the Echinacea after consultation with a doctor and use drugs only in the recommended doses.

Spruce obyknovennaja New year, and how can you not remember about the spruce. Did you know that spruce needles — an ancient healing remedy? If you suffer a dry cough, make inhalations with pine broth or oil are eaten — these drugs have a bactericidal effect and promotes expectoration. Even an ordinary walk in the coniferous forest beneficial for the respiratory system — do not miss this opportunity, if you decide to go to the country during the new year holidays.

Twenty four million five hundred fourteen thousand nine hundred sixty three

And pine needles make a vitamin drink, which from ancient times was used as a remedy for scurvy, and later — including during the great Patriotic war, was used to rescue emaciated from hunger, exhausted people. For beriberi, for recuperation after the disease is useful to drink 1 Cup of this per day. For its preparation you will need 4 cups of crushed fir needles, which is poured 0.5 liters of cold water, add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 2-3 days soaked in the dark and then filtered.

Only poosteregites use for the treatment of pine needles from Christmas trees: we still don't know what conditions they were grown. As with any medicinal raw material, fir needles are better harvested away from the city, large runs, industrial enterprises and other sources of environmental pollution.
 

Alieneye gardeners — and even fast. And aloe (or agave) can often be found on our windowsills. That the plant is medicinal, too, for anybody not a secret, probably — about the benefits it was known by the ancient Egyptians. Today it is grown at home more often for the sake of use and not beauty (honestly, wondrous beauty there, and no, perhaps)). The juice of the plant is used by traditional medicine; in the pharmacy you can buy aloe extract, if suddenly your window is green this pet was not there.

Forty eight million six hundred thirty six thousand eight hundred thirty five

Perhaps the most valuable for us in this cold season will be the ability of aloe to increase protective properties of organism, strengthen the immune system. In special literature you can find many different recipes for making homemade drugs based on it: alcoholic tincture, the mixture of juice with honey, lemon, nuts and so on — in the framework of this review it is simply impossible to consider all the recipes, and the more — important nuances of their cooking (because the use of such drugs depends on how well prepared raw materials, and formulation of compliance).

I just want to warn and remind: drugs aloe, like any other healing agent, have contraindications. So, do not recommend their use in pregnant women. Those who suffer from liver diseases, should also refrain from aloe treatment. With caution use preparations of this plant for children and the elderly. The individual intolerance, irritation of the gastric mucosa (nose, or throat — if the juice is used to treat runny nose). If you want to cook a remedy that contains honey, mention and contraindications to its use.

But one article can not accommodate all that was worth mentioning, so I just stopped at the most simple, affordable and versatile vehicles.
