Good afternoon, Hive learners and everyone in the ecosystem. Today we will be talking about health tips for the cold. I’ve fallen sick over the years I have spent on health, and the easiest one I’ve seen my parents cure without having to go to the hospital or seeing a nurse is a cold or cough.

Having a cold or cough, that is, a running nose, coughing, and probably a headache. Most times when I’m having a cold, my temperature always skyrockets, and this always keeps me indoors all day. There are various ways I have seen my parents help me with my cold, and they include
Honey and warm water.
Firstly, boil the water and make sure it’s not too hot—something that is easily drinkable by humans. If it’s too hot, you can reduce the temperature by adding some cool water to regulate the temperature. You put the warm water into a flask, then add a good amount of honey. Not too much, not too little, depending on the size of the flask. I would say 2 tablespoons for each liter. You mix, then take a sip and rest. Always take a sip every 30 minutes, if possible.
For this method, there is no side effect. All you need is to sip and get a good body rest so your health can go back to the way it is. This process does take time before the curing takes place. The other method is
Lime and Honey.
I love this second method because it involves a fruit. Although taking lime alone can be sour to my taste buds, after adding honey to it, it tastes differently.
What you need to do for this method is get enough lime fruit, or if you can get lime juice extract, then you don’t need to go through the process of cutting and extracting the juice yourself. Although I have never gotten the juice extract, I always get the fruit and then do the extraction myself.
After the extraction of the fruit juice, you add enough honey to a bottle and then add the lime juice extract to it. Seal it up with the bottle cover, then shake very well. Shake until you can’t find the honey inside the bottle. The colour of the fruit extract will change, and then you can take two tablespoons of it. Most of the time, the sour taste isn’t usually there again after the honey has been added.
You should note that after taking two tablespoons of the medicine, do not take another for the next 4 hours. This can only be used after eating something light and not heavy. After taking the medicine, there is a high chance of getting dizzy. If you do get dizzy, sleep, and don’t try to be awake for any reason. Resting is also part of the healing process.
Tips for battling cough
Apart from using chemical drugs, the only natural way I have seen people from my tribe cure coughs is
Getting a small bowl, not too big. After getting the small bowl, you added a reasonable amount of palm oil (red oil), an amount that isn’t too much. After a good portion of palm oil has been added to the bowl, a good amount of sugar will be added to the palm oil. The sugar and palm oil will be stirred together until there is a perfect mix of the two ingredients. Then the bowl is presented to the sick person. The sick person would use a finger to take a lick anytime they coughed, and within some days, the cough would disappear. I have seen this happen many times, and it has also happened to me.
