Preventing swine flu
August 31, 2009
Prevention is better than cure and this is definitely true! In the case of swine flu, it would be advisable to follow some steps detailed below in order to ensure you and the family will not contract this disease.
Because this year, the summer has behaved strangely and has immediately arrived after winter was gone, this means that human bodies have not had the chance to adjust themselves to the weather.
The swine flu virus profits from this weakness of the human body to adjust itself and thus, many people are prone to the virus. The swine flu virus represents a combination of the human virus for flu and the swine virus for flu, but pigs however, are not affected by it. It is only humans who seem to contract it.
(Keeping the distance)
If you aware that someone you know has contracted it, then it is best to keep at a distance and avoid close contacts. Also, it is important to ensure the nose lining is properly protected.
Since most infections penetrate the human body through the nose, that is dry during the summer because of air conditioning, then it is most likely that the virus will infiltrate itself through your nostrils.
The following mixture might prove useful in keeping the nose hydrated: take a drop of olive oil, ten drops of oil from the tea tree, lavender oil, clove oil, eucalyptus oil as well as 5 drops of oregano oil.
Make a mixture will all these components and apply it to the nostrils. This should be done every morning and you can even carry some with you just in case the nose gets dry. Kids can do the same as well.
(Vitamin intake is essential)
Because the cold season has just passed away, it is crucial that the immune system is strong enough to fight diseases. Therefore, in order to fortify, you need to eat fruits, vegetables and take some vitamins.
The food stores that are organic offer excellent options for that. You can even make vegetable and fruit recipes at home. This is one example of a recipe: you need to put in a carrot, a celery stick, some spinach, three or four dandelion leafs and half of an apple. The drink can be served immediately and thus, the cells will be hydrated and the immune system stronger!
(Allergies)
In case you are using nasal spray coupled with steroids, then you will have to protect yourself better because the nostrils will become increasingly sensitive and they will not be able to cope with the weather. It is advisable that you use the leaf nasal spray in order to kill infections that might have come through the nose.
