Doctors named the best home remedies to help protect against flu and colds. According to experts, prevention is the most effective way to prevent infections.
First of all, immunologists advise to lubricate the sinuses with interferon-based ointment before going outside. Such drugs will help protect the body from disease carriers, which, first of all, settle on the mucous membrane of the nose.
Essential oils can be no less effective. Doctors recommend putting a few drops of the product on a handkerchief and breathing in it periodically. Fir, wormwood and lavender oil are perfect for this.
At home, you can use special aroma lamps to disinfect rooms. Cloves and orange or lemon peels will also help protect against colds and flu. It is recommended to periodically keep them in the mouth and chew. The substances contained in them will stimulate immunity.
In addition, doctors recommend regularly ventilating the home, wet cleaning and eating right. Healthy fats and vitamins should be included in the diet.
Hygiene is very important in this regard. According to doctors, modern viruses are durable and can be stored on various surfaces for a long time, so hands should be washed often, while not touching the face, especially the nose, eyes and mouth.
