is there a cure for the common cold?

Answer 1

Hi There

Of couse there is. Here you go

Cause
It is caused by viral or bacterial infection feeding on excessive or copious secretions of mucus (waste materials) often due to the body's inability to properly assimilate milk and concentrated starches. When a cold or fever just gets started, it can be cleared up very easily, if the procedures are started early, before it becomes too advanced.

Herbal Aids
1.Burdock: To promote perspiration (diaphoresis) in colds and fevers: Double the dose in hot water, adding 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of ginger (Zingiber officinale) to each teacupful.

2.Sarsaparilla: As a diaphoretic for colds and fevers. Drink the decoction or compound decoction hot.

3.Garlic: At the onset, place a clove of garlic on each side of the mouth between the teeth and cheek. The cold will disappear within a few hours or within a day.

4.Tansy: For low fevers, ague, colds. Take small and frequent dosages of the warm infusion.

5.Bayberry: Colds, flu, fever, etc. Use bayberry in combination with diaphoretics (yarrows, catnip, peppermint, sage, etc.); it is very effective here.

6.See formula for colds using bayberry, pinus bark, ginger, cayenne and cloves.

7.Diaphoretics: The old herbal practitioners were wonderfully successful in their practice because they sought to restore the circulation to its equilibrium. It was they who made the vapor bath famous, for along with herbal diaphoretics there is nothing more effective than the vapor bath in the treatment of fevers, inflammation, colds, congestions, etc.

8.Yarrow: Taken freely in the hot infusion form at the beginning of a cold, alone or preferably in combination with other herbal remedies (such as elder flowers and peppermint), it will break up a cold overnight or within 24 hours; wrap the patients feet in flannel that has been wrung out in apple cider vinegar, keeping it warm with a hot water bottle.

9.Camomile: Give a warm infusion with a little ginger (Zingiber officinale) added.

10.Boneset: Influenza, colds, fevers, etc. Give the patient 1/2-1 teacupful hot, every hour until freely perspiring and the fever begins to subside- then give in smaller dose as a tonic (cold) every 2-3 hours and keep closely-covered in bed 24-48 hours until all signs of the fever are gone.

11.See formula for colds and pneumonia using pennyroyal and elder flowers.

12.Blue Cohosh: Recent colds (children). Give 1 dessert spoonful - 1 tablespoonful of the infusion in 1/2 teacupful of sweetened hot water, while closely covered in bed, if the first dose does not produce free perspiration within an hour, repeat hourly until it is produced.

13.Motherwort: for influenza, severe colds, low fevers: Give 2 tablespoonfuls in 1/2 pint of boiling hot water (or as hot as can be taken), watch for beads of perspiration to appear on the forehead within 1 hour; if they do not, repeat the dose until the patient is perspiring freely (this is a specific and effective cure).

14.See formula for colds using mullein, boneset, pennyroyal, hops, chestnut leaves, catnip, cudweed, wintergreen, peppermint, bloodroot and coltsfoot.

15.Horehound: Children's cough, croup, and chest colds. Make a syrup of the infusion (or concentrate, etc.) and honey (as much as desired) or take the warm infusion freely.

16.Garlic and Rosehips: These tablets and capsules are to act as an aid, to assist in relieving colds, etc., or wherever garlic aid in relieving infection can be used as an aid. These are made up of garlic with parsley, watercress, rosemary, and rosehips. The adult amount to be used can vary from one to six or more as needed several times in a day.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 2

There are many cold symptom relievers,which you will find Over the Counter. They promise to shorten the duration of a cold. The answer to to your question is NO There in no CURE for the common cold. As of now.

Answer 3

You should always keep some euchanecia at home and overdose on it at the first signs of a cold. This will prevent it from coming to anything. If it's already kicked in, then just keep drinking lots of hot, fresh orange juice for the Vitamin C. Garlic is also good and taken on a regular basis, will boost the immune system and prevent illness.
