Flu and cough season - insight

I think I am starting to catch a cough and it will turn into a flu soon.  I am not sure but it seems that there are alot of people who have caught this bug and the stain have been getting worse.  I think this is possibly due to mutilation of the virus. Yes, I had experience of a serious cough many months ago and at one point of time, it was like the lung is going to come out from our mouth and it ends with tears in my eyes.

On this occasion, I took alot of herbs to bring down my body temperature including drinking a few bottles of the Rhino water.  From the past, I have refused to take western medications because it makes me sleepy and disillusion.  The best medication is actually to sleep and rest our body and let the body fight the germs. There are alot of  home remedy in the internet but it needs commitment and determination to follow the routine to rest.  However, our body is very restless and we cannot rest per se and that is why our sickness drags on for more than necessary.

One of the basic problem is that our throats gets ichy and we have to cough continuously.  To stop this re-action, we have to drink lots of water to wet our throat and use a lot of mouth waste or listerine to wash our throat.  This is a very messy task but it has to be done. Otherwise, the cough will affect our sleep and in turn, our immune system will weaken which will make the germs stronger.

This season of cough and flu is due to the changing temperature.  The day is very hot and dry while the night is cold and wet.  It often rain in the evening and at night.  This change in the temperature can easily make us caught unaware and weakens our immune system. Furthermore, in the month of December 2012, the cold dry north wind is blowing down to the warm south and this year , the winter is particularly cold and it could have result in more people catching the flu bug.

So, the better solution is to wear thicker clothing to keep warm instead of been caught in a situation which exposre our body to the cold.   This is only logical that we should be  prepared for any sudden change in the temperature so that we can adjust the thickness of our clothing when it happens.

This is some insight that I will to share with all of you and I hate coughing because it can be very irritating and messy.   For all of you , please take care.

Namaste.
