Tips and home remedies you can use freely
In the case of gastritis, acidosis:
Kü-Ka-Lei-Wa
1 litre water
1 small potato
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 ½ dessert spoons linseed
Boil all ingredients together for 20 minutes.
Sieve them.
Drink one cup of the heated liquid half an hour before each meal.
Recommended length of cure: 6 weeks
Quark wrap
It works by withdrawing heat and reducing swelling.
This is how you do it:
Spread the quark (low fat) to the thickness of the back of a knife over a piece of kitchen paper. Fold it in two (so that the quark does not touch the skin), place it over the sore spot and fix it.
The wrap stays in place until the quark dries.
This will take about an hour. It can be left overnight on the spot.
If you have earache:
Use cotton wool plugs
- Problems with the middle ear: Onion plugs
- Hearing problems: Schnaps plugs
Avoiding colds
What can you do:
-
- Drink enough
-
- Wear weather-proof clothing
-
- Ventilate your home regularly
-
- Toughen up with hot and cold showers and brush massages
-
- A sensible diet, seasonal and high quality food
-
- Avoid kissing on the cheek ( a handshake is enough but if the other person is sniffling then don’t do this either.)
-
- A sensible approach to sporting activities. Too much is unhealthy since it can weaken your immune system. Too little exercise is unhealthy too. (either fins out what suits you or ask a professional).
- Rest, avoid the media, avoid work.
- Drink a lot, hot drinks are good too.
- Keep warm (sleeping bag)
- Chicken broth is antiviral. (best to cook a supply and freeze it)
- Increase the humidity in your room. (This protects your mucous membranes.)
Note:
If you have a temperature that lasts (3 days or above 38,5 degrees) consult a doctor. There is no substitute for antibiotics in the case of serious bacterial infections.
It is essential to avoid too much activity until you have recovered fully.
- Apply “Blaues Farböl” from Akari on to acupressure point “head cold”.
- Primrose tea
- Nasal rinsing with salt:
Mix 1g crystal salt with 100 ml luke-warm water.
OR: Use nose rinsing salt (with a lot of hydrogen carbonate) from the chemist – it lets the mucous membranes regenerate more quickly and avoids inflammation.
Using a nasal douche rinse your nasal passages every day.
