help with cold and boost immune system

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

 

My name is Sujatha and I have a 5-year old boy. My son is coming down

with a cold. Since he doesn't talk much, I have to always be alert and

keep an eye on him. But I can never tell till he gets a cold and his

nose starts running. The only other symptom is he won't sleep well the

night before. So I was expecting this COLD. Now if you guys could help

me with stuff to give him(homepathic or ayurvedic) and also prevent ear

infection, it would be great. He gets seizures when his fever shoots

up. So I really have to watch him next few days. And he wants to be

carried all the time! By the end of the whole thing, I fall sick

because of lack of sleep and not eating right! He has loose motions

with most Antibiotics. So after a cold, I have to deal with stomach

issues! So if there is any preventive stuff/home remedies that I can do

for nasal decongestion, fever control and something to boost his immune

please let me know. I live in the US and lately they have pulled out so

many over the counter cold and cough medications, it is hard to know

which one is really good for you!

 

thanks a ton,

Sujatha

Frequent antibiotics have caused reduced digestion (intestinal flora,

liver, pancratic juices) causing build up of toxins, which body tries

to flush out in the form of mucous, nasal water. This we term cold.

this sludge easily harbours pathogens, body tries to burn them in

fever. and we try pills to suppress fever! It should really run

through, and if it goes beyond 103 deg farenheit, then put salt water

soaks on his forehead. these prevent seizure.

 

The most powerful herb to boost immunity in winter is provided by God

in this season only. One Fresh Aamla fruit juice with honey 1 tsp

early morning empty stomach, once per day. In case fresh aamla not

available, buy powder from online. 1 tsp powder with 1 tsp honey,

empty stomach morning and evening around sunset time.

 

This takes care of fevers, skin rashes, cold, nasal congestion etc.

 

This may look like an utopia, but it is true, provided his diet is

simple, healthy. Provide him what you were eating at his age and that

is healthy diet. Warm, home cooked, minimum processed, vegetables,

fruits, as offered by mother nature. warm soupes with spices like

cumeen, coriander, black pepper, sea salt etc.

 

If aamla powder is also difficult to get, lemon juice is another

alternative, but it may exacerbate the symptoms for 2-3 days, do not

worry in that case.

Mrs Sujata

Vaidya Bhate has suggested a correct medicines. I would like to add

my views in this topic.

According to Ayurveda when ever there is a weaknesses in Sapta dhatu

[ namly Rasa, Rakta, Mansa,Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra]the

pathology gets rooted within it. Hence to due to weakness in Mansa

dhatu your child is not able to fight cold and change in whether.

I would like to suggest to give her a one teaspoonful of powder of

non salty Dry fruits with a pinch of black peper + honey ones a day

at morning between 6 to 7am, empty stomach and then for one hour no

food should be given.

 

This will strengthen his Mansa dhatu.

dear sujatha,

u already recieved many answers regarding cold

 

as far as i know, vamana is best to be done when the first signs come up. this

is the simplified version. for example, when u noticed that he does not sleep

well because he does not breath well (his nostrils are not totaly permeable),

next morning give him (if possible) half liter of warm water with half spoon of

salt and then keep him bent 90 degrees over (like bath tab or other basin or

whatever u think of) and help him vomit. normaly this high concentration of salt

will make him vomit, but he can put 2 fingers through his throat or take some

plants like acorus calamus 5 grams which will make him do it. after, he can

clean his nostrils every morning and evening with warm salty water or better his

urine if he is not taking antibiotics.

 

if he already was catching a cold, big amounts of garlic in his diet will help.

also vitamin c from fresh lemon juice with ginger and honney it's good.

ecqhinaceea 2 weeks will stimulatte his T lymphocites (more than 2 weeks it was

proved by some test that it is inhibiting them ).

 

i am more concerned by his seizures. i know that between 2 and 5 years old fever

seizures are considered kind of normal, but anyway this shows a delay in

maturation of his nervouse system and a high sensibility of this one. so, when

he is not cold, u might help him develope better by giving him a mixture of

aswagandha, jatamansi, gotu kola, brahmi, and also include lots of nuts in his

diet. the nuts have big amounts of essential fat acids necessary for nervouse

system and also iodum.

good health for your kid

dear crii,

Vaman, which is one of the procedures in panchkarma, is generally not advised in

children below the age of 8 years.

Even if it is to be done, then it should be under ayurvedic doctor's supervision

and not as a domestic affair.
