Can I use Chinese medicinal herbs to treat my common cold?
No one is immune from the common cold and it affects all age
groups. Unfortunately this simple illness can be a real pain in the rear. Because of the
failure of traditional medicine to prevent or treat the common cold effectively,
many people have been turning to Chinese medical herbs.
Herbs are widely used in China for the treatment of many medical disorders besides the common cold. As
far as their efficacy is concerned, there is none. There is not one piece of
good clinical evidence that Chinese herbs help prevent or treat the common cold.
What this
means is stop wasting your money on unproven products and use home remedies to
treat your common cold- this means rest for a few days, take a Motrin if you have muscle pain, drink lots of fluids
and eat healthy. If you want to prevent the common cold, get vaccinated but
there is no guarantee that the vaccine will work.
Unfortunately we live in a society
where everyone wants an instantaneous cure for all the medical problems-
instead of a cure most people end up getting disappointments- that is
the reality of medicine for you!
