Learn about the common cold.


Medieval doctors were the first people to say that a patient with influenza should stay away from (fish - eggs - dairy products) in the belief that they increase the flu. It compensates for the effects of loss of appetite that afflicts a person who is sick. With the advent of winter and a drop in temperature, the cold is a very suitable environment for viruses. The most famous virus that has existed since ancient times is the (influenza) virus. These viruses are transmitted through contaminated droplets from sneezing or coughing and can also be through touch Once the virus enters your body, it sticks in the lining of the nose and then leaks to the rest of the body. Then your immune system starts trying to eliminate the virus.. Here you start showing signs of cold. The virus penetrates the body's defense mechanism, and this depends on the strength of your immunity. The cold is at its peak until you take the medications and the symptoms gradually ease. And the common cold baffled human beings throughout history.

Knowing and treating colds.


Scientists discovered in the Ebers medical papyrus that the ancient Egyptians spoke of a disease due to Pain in the organs associated with the head, such as (ear, nose, sore throat) and called it (Khnit).. They relied on pouring date juice into the nostrils, and this was the first description of colds or colds in history. In Islamic and Greek texts, they talked about honey as a preventative against colds Honey reduces the growth of bacteria.

The texts also advised that honey is added to warm water that has been boiled so as not to lose it Curative value The Roman surgeon (Pedanius Dioscorides) advised the use of chicken soup in the treatment of colds. With the advancement of medicine, scientists discovered that chicken soup has an amino acid called (Cysteine), and this acid has a great role in reducing nasal congestion and also 

increases the efficiency of the immune system in the body. In the Middle Ages in Europe they had a strange belief in order to treat influenza. If you wrap yourself in a wool blanket, and on the occasion of this belief, there is no medical evidence that says that when you wrap yourself in a wool blanket and when your body warms and sweats, you will recover quickly. Because in fact it is your immune system that determines the length of time you 

will remain in sight. At the same time in the Middle Ages, a doctor named Taddeo Alderotti came and invented a new treatment for colds, which is a concentrated red wine and called it (aqua vitae). In the treatment of nasal obstruction.

Indeed, with the development of science, the doctors were satisfied that this plant has a substance called pseudeophedrine, one of the best substances in decongesting. In North America, they spoke that eating the onion fruit, which is an intention or a slice of it with a glass of milk, will help cure a cold. In the twentieth century, the English had strange beliefs that they applied in order to treat 

colds. They used a type of parasitic worms called Leech in order to suck the blood of the patient, who had a high temperature, believing that blood is an essential component of the ingredients.Health, and when we take a little blood, the temperature will surely drop.
Many people think that the treatment for a cold now is to take medicines and drink warm fluids. But in fact, there are many ways that people in the world use for treatment and 

prevention. Medical journals have talked about them and their recipes as effective methods to some extent This method, for example, exposure to the sun for 10 minutes a day will help you strengthen immunity And reduce the possibility of infection with the influenza virus.
And in Scotland, they use the hot air as a cure for the flu, and this is because the air that comes from the sea It is loaded with a high percentage of oxygen, which helps the person to 

a large extent. It improves breathing.. In Russia, they use mulberry leaves to reduce the effects of colds. This is because it has a large proportion of vitamin C. In February 2019, I used a study published by Rockefeller University in America. And this study talks about that sleep is the most important means of improving the immune system because it helps to straighten the body Immune cells called T cells that defend the body against any virus or any foreign cell Thus, you will be protected from colds and flu.
