Folk remedies can cure the flu?

Beijing News weekly of the new knowledge

Many devout "folk remedies and major diseases" rules, regardless of what things should go up together on a recipe.

"Influenza" this kind of thing that looks like a traditional "seasonal disease" is a little like that naturally into a variety of remedies fits in. Some time ago, a lot of things, such as garlic, sachet and vinegar is given over to prevention, treatment, "" a flow. So these remedies, how bias? in a variety of food, the garlic is a very strange. Traditionally, the world's people used to treat illness can list a long list. Today, scientists, enterprises also have it blue eyes. Retrieve a scientific paper database, has published a study on the efficacy of "garlic" at least lower cholesterol, anti fungal infections, blood and vascular sclerosis, cancer, blood pressure, and so on a 20, "antibacterial" and "antivirus" quite a bit. Although these studies often just some animal experiments or small-scale experimental, scientific value is "no negative history legend", "scientific research proves that" a long way off, but it is sufficient to let the business people with joy. Garlic, garlic extract, garlic oil ... As long as the garlic used modern processing or separation technology toss up, became a "clerical" health care. "To antiviral" garlic has become the "flu" open secret. All of a sudden, the garlic with the ability to fight cancer, like the sweet potato is fired to the out-of-stock.

However, conclusions, or to be cautious: first, the "garlic antiviral" it itself is not enough to rely on spectrum, at least those products merchant reference "scientific research" in the academic community and the authorities there cannot be recognized; the second, even if garlic for viruses have certain combat skills, which can cause the flu virus effectively against nobody knew; third, although the garlic this thing our ancestors already began to eat, ha

ving seen the problem record, but modern science has discovered that it is not "absolute security". It is generally believed that normal dietary consumption of garlic will not cause injury to the vast majority of people, but a lot of garlic or garlic products can also cause bleeding and symptoms of hypoglycemia. Who recommended that the amount of food every day for adults is 2 to 5 grams of raw garlic, or appropriate garlic products. Eat the amount of garlic, essentially there will be no negative effects. Much? who mean is "don't know".

The natural history of perfume sterilization may be more long.

Ancient Egypt who knew used spices to make a mummy. Its function is probably the anticorrosion "killing." But the Chinese ancients also used sachet to "evil" and the "evil" may contain bacteria and viruses and the like. Therefore, as a small arts and crafts of the sachet was like a flow of "prevention", but also has the support of the "traditional". For aromatic substances, in the West there is a famous "non-mainstream therapy", called "aromatherapy", is to use essential oils for the treatment or treatment. From a chemical point of view, the essential role and function of the sachet is the same. In considering the use of sachet to "preventing the flu" before, we should know some facts: "aromatherapy" relating to "sterilization" or "antivirus" those experiments, the result is "poor" when ling time; Furthermore, these "maybe" experiment or get essential oils to deal with bacteria or viruses, sachet volatile flavor compounds of that point is valid, it is hard to say; "smelling" to play "role", generally improving mood, ease the pressure of subjective experience. Australia has a scholar's summary is this role only 15% depends on the essential oils and their use, and 40% depending on the patient, and 30% depending on the therapists, there are 15% depends on the "confidence". Therefore, to be used to fight influenza sachet, you have to take out the "heart of the spirit".

Use vinegar to sterilization antiviral this thing is not so surprising.

In b.c., hundreds of years, it is useful to clean the wound with vinegar to prevent infection. But as an acid, modern scientific research also confirmed that it has some bacteria and viruses. However, professionals or not recommended to use vinegar to do these things — vinegar concentration low, inhibitory effect of finite; concentration to inhibition of obvious, to damage human normal cells will be ignored. Experts do not even use vinegar to disinfect room — according to the comparison, in a safe dosage, vinegar is far better than the usual disinfectants is more effective.

Each field of infectious diseases, is a human catastrophe.

There is a convenient, effective and safe control of pursuit, has produced the popular folk remedies. If you would like garlic, sachet and vinegar these things, but there's nothing wrong. But usually they do not like these things, use of, expect to "preventing the flu," is a bit of their own when mouse feeling.
