CURE FOR VIRAL IN YOUR KITCHEN CABINET

Viral fever affects people of all ages anytime across the globe especially when there is change in the season.  Several microorganism like bacteria, viruses, fungi and many other germs enter human body everyday.  Generally our immune system fights off these germs which prevents from causing any serious problem in our body.  However, there may be times when immune system cannot fight back these microorganisms, thus causing the infection in the body which subsequently leads to viral fever.

Most cases of fever, especially bacterial fever is treated with medication and antibiotics.  But in case of viral fever no medication is effective enough to cure it.  Doctors usually try to give over the counter medicine like ibuprofen and acetaminophen to keep the fever down.  Most doctors agree that trying to cure the viral fever with medication can weaken the body's immune system.  

Since antibiotics do not work on viral fever, home remedies are the best bet to keep fever under control.

Indian spices and herbs have amazing medicinal properties and this fact was recognized by Ayurveda ages ago.  Herbal remedies are the most natural form of therapy.  They heal gently without any side effects.  Last week my husband got viral fever so I gave him this concoction from spices in my kitchen cabinet.  His fever went down in a day.  Here is a recipe for cure in viral fever.

Ingredients:

1 liter water, 1 stick of cinnamon or one tsp of powdered cinnamon, 2 cloves, 1 tsp of dry ginger powder or grated fresh ginger.

Method:

Boil the three spices in 1 liter of water. After two or three boils, let it simmer till water is left only 1/4 in the pot. Let it cool off a little. Drink this water concoction in three doses after every four hours.  This concoction should be taken for three days.  For the best results it is advisable to take it warm.

It is an excellent remedy without any side effects.

 For creamy chocolate icing:

 Method:

Pulse the roasted almonds in a blender until roughly chopped. Then add pitted dated, olive oil and milk and blend it to make a smooth dough.  Take out your muffin moulds of either metal ones with liners or silicone ones.  Now put the spoonful of dough into the moulds and press it evenly with your fingers.  Then put in the freezer for 15 minutes.  In the meanwhile make your chocolate icing ready.
