Home-based items
● If you can bear the pungent smell and taste of Garlic then taking two raw pods of garlic in the morning with warm water will build resistance.
● Camphor or Karpoor can be swallowed once a month. While the adults can swallow it with water, the children can be made to take it by mixing the powder with mashed potato or banana. But this must be only taken once a month and not frequently.
● If you are not repulsed by milk then you can drink a glass of warm milk with a small measure of turmeric added to it in the nights.
● Citrus fruits rich in Vit C one of the most common remedies advised for the common cold too can help prevent Swine flu.
Alternative medicines
● Homeopathic medicines like Pyrogenium 200 and Inflenzium 200 can taken in doses of 5 tablets three times a day or two-three drops three times a day. Even though they are not specifically made for the H1N1 it can act as a preventive agent against common flu.
Exercise and Simple practices
● Go for morning walks or jogs. If you have been putting it away just because you thought obesity was not a threat, here comes swine flu to help you get off the bed and exercise. Yoga and Pranayam (breathing exercises) under the guidance of a master is the best option.
● Of course habits like washing hands often or keeping a hand sanitizer with you all the time could go a long way. – Oneindia
