The following facts was found in Yahoo by my wife, while browsing, I want it to be published in Google as well, so as to spread awareness, to save as many lives as possible, at risk,for, I may be blamed for plagiarism.
1] Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi [known as Basil in English; medicinal name Ocimum sanctum] everyday in the morning .Tulsi has a large number of therapeutic properties. It keeps throat and lungs clear and helps in infections by way of strengthening your immunity.
2] Giloi [medicinal name Tinospora cordifolia] is a commonly available plant in many areas.Take a one foot long branch of giloi,add five to six leaves of tulsi and boil in water for 15 to 20 minutes or long enough to allow the water to extract its properties.Add black pepper and sendha [salt used during religious fasts],rock or black salt ,or Misri [crystalised sugar like lumps to make it sweet] according to taste.Let it cool a bit and drink this kadha[concoction] while still warm.It will work wonders for your immunity. If giloi plant is not available, get processed giloi powder from Hamdard or others and concoct a similar drink once a day.
3] A small piece of camphor [Karpoor] approximately the size of a tablet should be taken once or twice a month. It can be swallowed with water by adults while children can take it along with mashed potatoes or banana because they will find it difficult to have it with out any aids. Please remember campor is not to be taken every day, but only once each season, or once a month.
4] Those who can take garlic must have two pods of raw garlic first thing in the morning. To be swallowed daily with lukewarm water. Garlic too strengthens immunity like the earlier measures mentioned.
5] Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi [turmeric]
6] Aloe vera [Gwarpatha] too is a commonly available plant. Its thick and long cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel.A teaspoon gel taken with water daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains ,but also boost immunity.
7] Take homeopathic medicines-pyrogenium 200 and inflenzium 200 in particular five tablets three times a day, or two-three drops three times a day.While these are not specifically targeted H1N1 either, these work well as preventive against common flu virus.
8] Do Pranayam daily [prefereably under guidance if you are not already initiated into it]and go for morning jog/walk regularly to keep your throat and lungs in good condition and body in fine fettle.Even in small measures,it will work wonders for your body’s resistance against all such diseases which attack the nose,throat and lungs,besides keeping you fit.
9] Have citrus fruits,particularly Vitamin C rich Amla {Indian gooseberry]juice.Since fresh Amla is not yet available in the market [not for another three to four months] it is not a bad idea to buy packaged Amla juice which is commonly available nowadays.
10] Last but not the least ,wash your hands frequently everyday with soap and warm water for15-20 seconds;especially before meals,or each time after touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu virus such as door handle or a knob/handle ,especially if you have returned from a public place or used public transport.Alcohol based hand cleaners should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and warm water.
