What to do when you got cold.

What to do when you got cold.

Have you ever had a feeling that your back, shoulders and neck hurt and your face is burning? Well, I did. I actually had such conditions only 3 day ago and I promise, I had no place to put myself. I thought there was nothing I could do about it. I address this post to those who ever had similar situation or will have. (I hope not much of you, guys).

The first thing I did was to stop lying on my sofa and bring a lot of orange juice. I promise, orange juice is my very best friend when I feel I just got cold. Interestingly, it doesn’t have to be ‘freshly squeezed juice’ because, once it squeezed, you have to drink immediately. It basically loses its value right after 5 minutes after it was pressed. That’s why I never packed fresh squeezed orange juices, but it doesn’t apply to juices with bits, as it’s a different thing. So, what I suggest is to drink normal orange juice (not right from the fridge, of course).

I suggest to drink a big amount of juice or water as it will help your body to recover itself. Another drink that really helps is a cup of warm water mixed with couple of jam spoons. I usually use jam made by my fiancé’s mom, which has small bits inside and I prefer the raspberry flavour. It’s really easy to produce jam if you have a big amount of sugar and raspberries. The amount of both have to be even and you can either boil this mix or to compress it by hand.  As this jam has a lot of sugar in it, you will get a delicious drink which going to make you feel better. Another option for drinks can be warm milk+honey.

My fiancé always finds next step weird and even thinks I am doing a wrong think. Once I feel I have a temperature of my body raised, I go to a really hot bath and try to stay there for 10-12 minutes. A lot of people told me you should stay away from the shower and bath If you’ve got cold and especially, temperature.

Right after you finish with bath, try to wear your warmest pyjama and go to your bed. I suggest covering yourself with a couple of duvets as It will make you to sweat a lot. This is the final stage when all your sickness goes away. 

I am not sure whether this technique would work on everyone, but I think If you know your body well, you will know does this type of treatment works for you or not.

Thanks for reading;)
