In autumn and winter, the weather is dry and turns cold. Many people are prone to cold and cough. So how to alleviate cold symptoms? Today, I'd like to share some tips to help you get rid of the trouble of cold and cough.
The method of relieving cough immediately after catching a cold and itching throat
1. Eat ginger slices
Ginger tablets can not only quickly relieve cough, but also treat chronic cough. First, the ginger needs to be prepared, and then the ginger is cleaned, peeled and cut into pieces. When the throat is itchy and you want to cough, immediately put a piece into your mouth. At this time, it is not enough. You need to take a bite and the cough will stop. Of course, it's not like this. You can completely stop your cough at one time. You can put another piece into your mouth when your throat itches again. Because ginger tablets are more exciting, it's enough to eat two or three tablets a day. If you cough for a long time, you can take one tablet before going to bed. Generally, you can eat it for two or three days.
2. Drink white radish water
White radish water is very effective in the treatment of infant cough, because it is a relatively mild cough relieving method, and has a very significant effect on the treatment of night cough. First prepare the white radish, then cut half of the radish into pieces, put it into the pot, add water, fire and cook. Then filter the boiled radish water into the vessel and drink it when it is slightly cool. Generally, drinking once a day is enough. If you have a long cough, you can drink it for several days. You can also add some honey to make honey radish water. This time, you need to cut half of the radish into shreds or granules, then put the cut radish into a glass jar (a sealed bottle is also OK), then add honey to cover the surface of the shredded radish or granules, and finally seal and place it. Wait for about 2 hours. After mixing the water from the radish with honey, pour out the water and drink it with warm water.
3. Drink pumpkin vine juice
Not many people know this, but now pumpkin vines are also very common vegetables in the market. You can prepare some fresh pumpkin vines first, and then you can remove the pumpkin vines, turn around and insert them into the bottle, and then place them for one night. The next day you will see the dripping pumpkin vine juice in the bottle. Just take a little juice and rinse it with boiling water~
4. Massage acupoints
In addition to the above three kinds of food can quickly stop cough, massage acupoints also have a good effect. You can stop cough according to motiantu point, Dazhui point, Fengchi point, Feishu point or Shaoshang point. The effect is very good ~ but these acupoints are only auxiliary treatment methods. The key is to enhance the body's resistance and enhance the ability to resist the invasion of external pathogens.

6. Massage Kechuan point
Efficacy: Kechuan point is located at the root of the index finger, close to the side of the middle finger. Massage Kechuan point can stop cough immediately.
Practice: it is best to massage the Kechuan point of the left hand. Children can massage the acupoints with their fingers, and the strength can be lighter. Adults should increase their strength slightly. You can choose to massage with pen, cotton swab or chopsticks. There is a sense of acid swelling when pressing the acupoints.
