Munich – With the wet and cold season in full swing, many people in Germany are currently suffering from colds and illness. In light of this, renowned doctor and writer Dietrich Grönemeyer has shared some valuable tips for getting rid of colds quickly in an interview with focus.de. According to Dr. Grönemeyer, there are several home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms of a cold or even prevent it from breaking out.
One of the most effective remedies is gargling with salt water or antiseptic herbal tinctures at the first signs of an approaching cold, such as a scratchy throat. Dr. Grönemeyer recommends using extracts of sage or thyme for this purpose, or lozenges containing sage, honey, or Icelandic moss. He also suggests that moistening the mucous membranes by sucking on lozenges can bring relief to irritated mucous membranes.
Another powerful natural remedy against colds, according to Dr. Grönemeyer, is cistus, also known as cistus. This Mediterranean medicinal plant has long been valued for its antiviral properties and can be purchased as a tea or in the form of lozenges. Studies have shown that cistus extract may help in reducing the multiplication of viruses, including the Sars-Cov-2 virus, which causes the corona pandemic.
In addition to salt water gargling and cistus, Dr. Grönemeyer also recommends ginger as a potent remedy for fighting infections. He advises chewing a small piece of ginger mixed with honey two to three times a day to help ward off colds.
As the holiday season approaches, many people may find themselves falling ill while on vacation. It’s important to note that this is usually due to other factors and not necessarily the environment.
It is crucial to remember that while these remedies have proven effective for many, individual results may vary. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
