This is from a manual of Chinese Traditional Medicine on how to treat a cold. I make no promises one way or the other about it:
Treatment of the common cold, "Chinese medicine common treatment guidelines specific prescription:
Light blue ginger drink, even to be very light blue root 3, 6 grams of ginger, add brown sugar 30 grams, water to cook hot clothes, the 1st one for cold cold.
Second, wild chrysanthemum 15 grams, Folium 10 grams, 30 grams of Houttuynia light bamboo leaves 10 grams, water simmer in water, the 1st one; Gegen 30 grams, Folium 15 grams, reed rhizome 30 grams, a total of fried , 1, 1, 2 to 3 times, warm clothes, can be used Fengreganmao.
Traditional Chinese Internal common treatment guidelines also propose a method of acupuncture treatment of the common cold: cold disease, acupoints Lieque damper, the wind pool, Hegu; wind fever the acupoints Dazhui, Qu pool, Hegu, thenar foreign relations.
In addition, scraping can also be used for the treatment of the common cold: lubricants the scraping item back with smooth edges porcelain spoon dipped since the Fengchi down, down on his back on both sides by the force should be uniform, scraping, scrape purple bleeding point is reached.
If you can read Chinese, here is the original:
bill8899:
Oh my gosh you must be joking? Scrape your back until you bleed?
Scandinavian:
not much different from using leeches which was common in Europe/US until science kicked in
Buy some 999, san jiu.
A little formula you mix with hot water, one of China's greatest inventions.
First I hope you get well soon! My humble advice is if you have persistent fever as part of your symptoms, or your situation is deteriorating (e.g. having difficulty breathing, tiredness etc) you better see a doctor, because although we don't like medicine and going to hospitals which is not easy at all, particularly in China. but it is important to prevent from getting complications which would be harder to deal with and more expensive to treat. But if your situation is very stable and the main problem is running nose and sore throat as you mention, my advice is you should keep yourself warm and well hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of liquids, then drinking some thing warm like soup is advisable since the water steam from the soup can help kill the viruses that reside in the upper respiratory tract. People will always tell you different kinds of hot food to be good for treating cold, but the bottom line is eating or drinking anything warm and has water in it can effectively improve symptoms.
Allopathy is not good against cold... Full of side effects, which finally you will feel like is worse compared to cold....
Chinese traditional medicine... Seems has no side effects... But seems no effect on cold as well... You keep taking and cold goes at its usual speed... May be just giving mental confidence...
i really miss homeopathy... They are the best against cold... Yrs back... One of my friend took a one month dose and the promise was no cold for one year.. It worked well for him... They are the best against virus... Any place in china to get homeopathic medicine?

YOU MUST BE KIDDING..... made in Mexico cough syrup on taobao as a healthy recommendation for a cold cure??? wow!!!!!!!!!!!
stay warm and warm liquids and wait a couple days before hitting the panic button
stay away from people. -- colds are caught by being close to people who have colds.
But in China you could get a cod by breathing all the polluted air. Wear that little mask thing.
Your kissing days will be over but you will be cold free!
Put Crushed Ginger in boiled water and take sip like greent tea.or you can mix it with green tea..it will increase your immune system and will reduce the chances of occuring flu again..
Two shots of whiskey. Good sleep. Wake up and move around.
It cleans the throat, Helps rest nicely, and the next day get your metabolism going to kick start your system.
And drink tones of water to flush crap out
