Colds and Flu Flee from Old Eastern European Herbal Remedies
Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Are you struggling with a cold and wish you had something tasty that would take the soreness and sniffles away? There used to be a full range of hot toddies, mulled ciders and meads that would have done the trick, but they seem to have disappeared over the years, replaced by a range of over-the-counter concoctions like Vicks, Nyquil and a range of cold medicines hawked by the aspirin makers.
Now you have a choice. Thanks to Svetlana Konnikova, who grew up in Moldova, the wine capital of southeastern Europe, we now have access to the Eastern European home remedies (www.aurorapublishers.com) again.
"There was no end to the home remedies (www.aurorapublishers.com) we had available to us to stiffle colds, sniffles and sneezes, as well as sore throats and noses, when I was growing up," says Konnikova. "Most of these take some preplanning so that you have them in your refrigerator or herbal medicine chest when you need them, but it is worth it."
* Combine one teaspoon dried raspberries and one teaspoon dried peppermint leaves with one cup boiling water in a glass jar. Cover with a lid and steep for 20 minutes. Filter and drink one cup of hot tea before bedtime as a diaphoretic medicine.
* A variation on this is to combine in an enamel pot one teaspoon dried leaves of peppermint and one teaspoon black elder flowers in one pint boiling water. Boil 5-10 minutes, filter and drink one to two cups before bedtime.
* Combine one tablespoon linden flowers and one tablespoon rose hips with one cup boiling water and boil five minutes. Filter and drink one cup before bedtime. This infusion is soothing for colds and flu and it is good treatment for rheumatism.
* A tea of rose hips with honey provides fast relief when you have a cold with a headache, cough and/or laryngitis. This tea is also available in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and diarrhea. Combine one cup of rose hips with one quart of water in an enamel pot. Boil 10 minutes, filter and add three tablespoons honey. Drink two ounces three to four times a day.
