Health is Consciousness
Cold
Illness of the respiratory tract caused by several types of viruses that commonly occur after exposure to sudden changes in temperature. The cold is transmitted through direct contact with infected secretions from contaminated surfaces or through inhalation of the airborne virus after individuals cough or sneeze.
Propensity to spread the disease during the first two or three days. Typically, the cold goes away after seven days. When it lasts for more than seven days, you should start considering the likelihood of some other problem.
Main symptoms:
-
Abundant runny nose;
-
Congestion;
-
Headaches;
-
Sneezing.
Acquiring a virus that causes a cold is quite common, especially in winter or in times of heavy rainfall where we tend to stay indoors. However, some people are more susceptible to this type of problem, and in these cases, we must seek to understand better. Even if it's viral, when our immune system is fine, our body can get rid of the problem easily and with fewer symptoms. In case you have frequent colds, some questions can be asked to understand the causes of low immunity.
1) How is your sleep?
2) Are you anxious or stressed?
3) How is the quality of your food?
4) Is your daily water intake adequate?
Usually, poor diet, little sleep, drinking little water and living with anxiety and being stressed are the main factors that disrupt our immune system.
Reflexology is a tool that acts in the regularization of some of these causes and can help the body a lot, through its balance, to be healthy to face this type of virus. It provides a significant improvement in the quality of sleep, in the control and regularization of the metabolism of anxiety and stress.
When we are suffering from the flu, reflexology will also help by improving symptoms, reducing inflammation and increasing our ability to purify proteins created by our body to fight infection and by the virus in its replication process.
