Treatment of cold milk

Milk is a unique product. It is believed that milk is not a drink but a full meal that contains in addition to vitamins and minerals the body needs protein, animal fats and sugar. During illness, when the body is weakened, it is inadvisable to eat a heavy meal, but, nevertheless, you need to provide access nutrients. A great option would be to use milk as a tool for recovery. Besides, milk has the ability to calm the nervous system, and give the feeling of warmth and comfort, to promote strong and deep sleep. Unfortunately, some people have intolerance to milk protein, so use of this product, not suitable for every person.

Treatment of milk with garlic Given the high antiviral properties of garlic, its antiseptic action, this product is just needed for the treatment and prevention of ARVI and flu in General. Garlic is often called a natural antibiotic. Also this plant can strengthen the immune system, helping the body to resist negative environmental influences. However, garlic has its drawbacks, for example, seen it not too gentle on the gastrointestinal tract. Fortunately, there is a way to reduce it, burning mucosa, the effect with milk. To start the treatment of cold, enough to one glass of warm milk to add 10 drops of fresh juice of garlic. This "potion"you need to drink before going to sleep, and, according to the traditional healers, the common cold may depart later in the morning. However, if the disease is already"far", then wonders to expect from similar tools is not necessary, but as an aid to the immune system, you still need to continue to take it for five days. In diseases of the upper respiratory tract will also help the infusion of garlic in milk. For this you will need a glass of sour milk and 5 medium cloves of garlic.

To prepare this milk, it should be remembered that heating milk on the stove, you need to give it a little cool, and then you can add a spoonful of honey. I do not advise to use this tool in case if the body temperature rose above 38 degrees, after all, a warming drink can only exacerbate the situation, contributing to further temperature rise. It is believed that it is better to use the milk of the higher fat content, preferably home – in this case the drink will have a larger effect.
