Weather temperature difference is easy to catch a cold ginger, cover sweat to help you relief

The purpose of “covering” is to sweat, the evaporation of sweat can take away the body’s heat, to achieve the purpose of cooling.When the weather is hot and cold, you can get a cold and flu if you are not careful. The cold is a disease that can heal itself. Patients who are in good health can heal without medication by drinking more warm water and taking rest; those who are in poor health and do not take medication in time may aggravate the symptoms of the cold, causing bronchitis and pneumonia, and some patients may also develop rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis and viral myocarditis.

The health department of Ko Ao reminded that in addition to taking cold medicine, patients with early stage of cold and flu who do not have fever and only have symptoms such as coughing, coughing yellow sputum, dry throat and sore throat can treat their cold with the help of ginger water.

How to do it: Take an egg-sized piece of ginger and cut it into fine julienne strips. Put the shredded ginger into a pot with the right amount of water and bring to a boil. After the water has boiled, continue to boil for 10 minutes, or put the shredded ginger into a good insulation cup, add boiling water and soak in the insulation cup for 15 minutes. Pour the boiled or soaked ginger water into a bowl, wait until it is warm and drink the whole bowl in one go, followed by a bowl of hot thin gruel to help the medicine.

The patient should then immediately get under the covers and cover up until a slight damp sweat breaks out, then get out of the covers when the sweat slowly falls. At this point, be careful not to get cold and windy again, otherwise the cold will easily recur. If you still have symptoms of cold, headache or nasal congestion, you can drink a bowl of ginger water every 4 hours and continue to sweat in this way until your symptoms disappear.

“Covering sweat is not applicable to all colds, and is only effective for initial wind-cold colds.” Zhao Songlin, deputy chief physician of the respiratory department of Beijing Xuanwu Hospital, has said that when the body is invaded by viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, the body’s immune system will be stimulated to fight these “enemies” of the body, which requires a lot of energy and also generates a lot of heat to bring the body temperature up to what the brain considers The body’s immune system is stimulated to fight against these “enemies” of the body, which requires a lot of energy and heat production to bring the body temperature to what the brain considers “normal” levels, achieving a balance between heat production and heat loss. “The purpose of ‘covering’ is to ‘sweat’, the human skin pores open due to the rise in temperature, blood flow accelerated, so that the body’s cool air has a channel to exit the body, sweat evaporation can also take away some of the body’s heat, to achieve the purpose of cooling. Achieve the purpose of cooling down.” Zhao Songlin explained.

“It is important to drink plenty of plain water to replenish the loss of water and also to drink some porridge to replenish the body’s energy in case the body is overwhelmed and deflated.” Zhao Songlin reminds.

In terms of cold prevention, Gao Ao reminds people of the following points.

Wear a mask: Colds are respiratory transmitted diseases and wearing a good mask can isolate them to a large extent.

Wash your hands regularly: Wash your hands regularly after going out and touching public facilities to reduce bacterial and viral infections through your hands.

Drink plenty of water: When the throat is too dry, the body’s immune defences are reduced. Eat a light diet and plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Stay up less: Staying up late may affect one’s mental state and lower the body’s immunity.

Exercise more: Exercise can increase the body’s own resistance, clearing out viruses and preventing colds from occurring.

Increase clothing: Avoid wind chills and colds caused by thin clothing.
