Nothing can be as irritating and embarrassing as a running nose. When you're sick with a cold or suffering from allergies and your nose is constantly running like a faucet it's hard to keep it plugged up, let alone dry. Mucus and phlegm production is normal and the body produces about an ounce of clear mucus each day, but when the mucus production in the body exceeds the normal rate, we encounter a running nose.
When expectorants and tissues are somewhat effective in battling the running nose, why not stop the enemy right outside the gateway? There are some foods and other components that provide a remedy to this problem. Peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil are effective.
Garlic, asafoetida and ginger increase the body temperature and loosen the mucus from the lung to give you relief. Asafoetida additionally activates the cilia to sweep mucus out of the airways. Clove is effective in curing infections caused by the mucus. Hot, spicy food is really effective in curing running nose. Add red chilly, pepper, mustard or wasabi and see instant results. Deficiency of Vitamin C is the chief cause of a common cold. Add Indian Gooseberry to your diet, it is a rich source of Vitamin C and dissolves mucus from the lung. Basil and honey are both good at increasing immunity and clearing mucus. Bishop's weed is very effective in clearing mucus to give relief from dry cough. Fennel and aniseed are good flavored spices and helps dissolve mucus.
If you include the foods listed above in your diet then you can enjoy allergy season and even winter so much more!
