Diet therapy for colds

Although we all hope to live a healthy life, sometimes some minor illnesses can still affect our health. In life, everyone is inevitably affected by colds and flu. So what should we do after we catch a cold? Do we have to take medicine? In fact, it is said that medicine is three-point poison, so when we catch a cold, we don't have to take medicine. Some dietary therapy methods are also effective.

What are the dietary treatments for colds and flu?

Cold is a cold caused by cold. Although cold is not a serious problem, it can also bring serious consequences if not treated in time. In addition to medicine, you can also use some dietary therapy to treat cold. The following are some common dietary therapy methods for treating cold:

The first one: Wushen Drink. Cut 10 grams each of Schizonepeta, Perilla leaf and ginger into coarse powder and brew with 6 grams of tea leaves in boiling water. After a period of time, stir it with 30 grams of brown sugar, boil it and drink it while it is hot. Cover yourself with a quilt after taking it. If you have difficulty sweating, you can take it again after an hour. This will relieve the chills and body pain to a certain extent. For those with exterior cold and severe body pain, 6 grams of ephedra and 9 grams of cinnamon twig can be appropriately added to enhance the effect of warming and dispelling cold.

The third one: Tofu, ham and mustard greens soup. Cut 100 grams of tofu into cubes or thick slices, stir-fry with 50 grams of shredded ham in a small amount of peanut oil, add 1000 grams of broth and 10 grams of ginger and boil. Sprinkle 30 grams of mustard greens, pepper powder, and chopped coriander before removing from the pot. Season with salt and serve while hot. In addition to fear of cold and body aches, colds are often accompanied by loss of appetite, cold stomach and tasteless mouth. Based on the previous two soups, this soup uses mustard greens, coriander, ginger and pepper to dispel cold, and adds tofu and ham to nourish the stomach, increase appetite, and further accelerate the body's self-recovery function.

The above is an introduction to the dietary therapy for wind-cold colds. Many people think that colds that occur in winter are definitely phoenix colds. In fact, this is not the case. Colds that occur in winter may also be wind-heat colds. Therefore, before treating the disease, everyone must make a good diagnosis to avoid delaying treatment by using the wrong treatment method.
