Natural Remedies for Fever/Cough/Flu


miki prune extract


burdock

korean bamboo salt
Friends were telling me to blog down about the natural remedies that I apply on my self and my family. I wish to share with all of you what I consume during virus fighting time:

Sore throat/flu/runny nose/cough
1. Drink lots of fluids, preferably water or fresh organic juices. Or Pure Aussie Mineral.
2. Drink bamboo salt pearl honey or Korean bamboo salt. For kids, little bit will do.
3. Gargle throat with apple cider. For adults only.
4. Take Miki prune extract. Suitable for kids too.
5. For cough, brew soup with South and North almonds, dry figs, dried mandarine tangerines and Chuan 1 Bei4 Mu3/ Song1 Bei4 ( more effective if the coughs have phlegms) Suitable for kids too. 6. If your kid doesn’t wanna drink the soup above, mix it into his milk.
7.If your kid is coughing with lots of phlegm, stop giving Formula milk, give him Organic oatmilk. Shaun is taking oatmilk since 1 yo. So far so good!
8.If your kid keeps coughing at night, can try dripping essential oil in a bowl of water and put it in one of the corner of the room. Can try Albas Oil. Essential oil which is made from Eucaplytus is good.
9.If you are coughing ( adult), try licorice tea. Very effective. The licorice tea I bought before is not suitable for kids, so I never give Shaun this.

Fever
Fever is not an illness, it’s a symptom. The brain calls for the body to increase heat to kill virus. And the body acts like thermostat too, where it seldom exceeds 42 degree. It’s good to let the kid have fever to activate the army in his body to fight against the external attacks. This will build up his army , thus his antibody or immune system. Let your child build up his own immune system by not relying on western medicine. If it’s necessary to take medicine, try to detox after that.

1.Keep sponging with lukewarm water.
2.Make big china barley and green bean soup. Mix into his drink or milk.
3.Give Korean Bamboo salt. For kids, give little bit will do.
4.Give Korean Bamboo salt pearl honey. Bamboo salt can reduce heatiness and has anti-inflammatory effects.
5.Give honey and lemon
6.Give organic fruit juices/water/soup
7.Make veggie soup with Burdock . Burdock has cooling effect and it’s used to fight fever since ancient time in Japan.
8.Give Miki Prune Extract
9.There is NO NEED to give paracetemol if the fever is below 39 degree and the kid is still active and eating. It’s also ok if he doesn’t eat, can give plain porridge or bread, maybe not 5 grains rice as it’s heaty.
10.It’s normal for kid to be a bit lethargic, not necessary to give medicine unless he looks ill , then bring to see doc or give medicine if fever reaches 39. He is alright if he is still active as usual.
11.Wear loose clothes, preferably 100% cotton with holes kind.
12. To detox if you have taken western medicine or taken vaccination, take kumpu, wheat grass, barley green, algae.
