According to him, common home remedies, such as fruit tea, honey, lemon and warm milk, do not kill viruses or shorten the duration of colds, but they do relieve and improve symptoms.
He says: "Common home remedies do not kill viruses or shorten the duration of colds, but they do relieve symptoms. From a medical standpoint, these drinks are not just placebos, but effective tools for improving symptoms when used correctly."
According to him, warm blackberry tea helps increase sweating, which helps the body eliminate toxins and temporarily lowers temperature. However, in high temperatures, excessive sweating without adequate fluid intake can lead to dehydration, so it is essential to drink plenty of water.
Honey soothes a sore throat and calms a cough. Its thick consistency coats the throat's mucous membrane, soothing irritation. However, honey should not be added to boiling water, as high temperatures destroy its beneficial enzymes. Warm milk, including milk with added honey or alkaline mineral water, also soothes a sore throat and helps treat a dry cough, making it easier to expel phlegm.
However, contrary to popular belief, lemons do not cure colds because they contain vitamin C. But their juice stimulates saliva production, and their acid helps to thin mucus in the throat.
He says: "All the above treatments act as adjunctive therapy (symptom treatment), providing the body with fluids and relieving throat pain. The main treatment for severe cases must be prescribed by a doctor."
