What should I do if I suddenly feel sore and weak all over?

Sudden aches and pains all over the body often cause people to panic because they don't know what caused it. In fact, sudden body aches and weakness are mostly caused by colds. When people experience sudden body aches and weakness, they can take the following 15 methods to relieve the symptoms. The first method is to rub their hands.

1. Rub your hands:

Because the base of the thumb (medically known as thenar eminence) is rich in muscles, it protrudes significantly when the palm is stretched out, occupying a large area of ​​the palm. The thenar eminence is closely related to the respiratory organs. Rubbing it daily is very beneficial for improving a constitution that is prone to catching colds. The method is: rub the thenar of both hands together until they are warm. The rubbing method is just like rubbing the skin of peanuts with your palms. Keep one hand fixed and rotate the thenar of the other hand, alternating between the two hands up and down. Rub the two thenars in opposite directions for about one to two minutes, and the entire palm will become warm. Doing this can promote blood circulation and strengthen the body's metabolism, thereby strengthening your physical fitness and making you less likely to catch a cold.

2. Nasal washing method:

Washing your nose with salt water in the morning and evening can greatly reduce the chance of catching a cold and has a good preventive effect. When you have a cold, repeatedly rinsing your nasal cavity with saline can wash out the viruses in the nasal cavity, preventing the viruses from multiplying in large numbers in the nasal cavity and continuously invading the human body. This method can cure a cold within 2 to 4 days without any side effects.

3. Wash your face with cold water:

This method usually starts in summer and continues in autumn and winter to enhance appropriateness. Wash your face with cold boiled water every morning and evening. This can increase blood circulation in the face, improve disease resistance and cold resistance, and thus prevent the occurrence of colds.

4. Drink with sugar ginger tea:

Because colds are mostly caused by external wind and cold, they often cause symptoms such as headache, nasal congestion, runny nose, joint pain, and even fear of cold and fever. You can use appropriate amounts of brown sugar, ginger, and black tea, boil them into soup and drink it 1-2 times a day. It not only warms the body and removes cold, but also has good prevention and treatment functions for colds.

5. Vinegar nasal drops and fumigation:

Dilute vinegar with cold boiled water to make a 5%-10% solution for nasal drops, 4-6 times a day, 2-3 drops in each nostril. It has a good effect on treating colds and influenza. Especially in the early stages of a cold, the effect is better, and vinegar can kill the cold virus lurking in the nasopharynx. During the cold epidemic, using vinegar to drop into the nose has a reliable preventive effect. In addition, vinegar fumigation can also treat colds. Just put 100 grams of vinegar on the stove and fumigate it. Not only will the room become fragrant, but the vinegar molecules will float in the air to kill the cold virus in the room, which can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of colds. During the cold epidemic, it is best to fumigate with vinegar 1-2 times a day.

6. Breathing steam:

Pour a cup of boiling water into a wide-mouthed teacup, lean your face over it, and take deep breaths towards the rising hot steam until the water in the cup cools down. Do this several times a day. This method is effective in treating colds, especially those that have just started.

7. Eat more radishes:

Practice has shown that the carotene in radish has a unique effect in preventing and treating colds. The specific method is to chop the sweet, crisp and juicy radish into pieces, squeeze out half a cup of juice, then mash the ginger, squeeze out a small amount of ginger juice, add it to the radish juice, then add sugar or honey, mix well and pour in boiling water to drink as a beverage, three times a day for two consecutive days, which can clear away heat, detoxify, dispel cold, and prevent colds.

8. Eat more condiments:

Ginger and dried chili peppers help the body expel cold viruses and relieve coughs and phlegm. The American Cancer Institute recently revealed that garlic can enhance the body's immune function. Adding more seasonings when cooking dishes can help you recover from a cold faster.

9. Eat less salt:

Experiments have shown that eating less sodium-containing salt can increase the lysozyme content in saliva, protect the epithelial cells of the oral and throat mucosa, and allow them to secrete more immunoglobulin A and interferon to fight the cold virus. Therefore, controlling daily salt intake to less than 5 grams is very beneficial for preventing and treating colds.

10. Drink chicken soup:

Drinking chicken soup can suppress inflammation of the throat and respiratory tract, and is extremely effective in eliminating symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and sore throat caused by colds. Because chicken contains many amino acids necessary for the human body and is rich in nutrients, it can significantly enhance the body's resistance to cold viruses. Chicken also contains some special chemicals that have the effect of enhancing pharyngeal blood circulation and nasal fluid secretion, which is good for protecting the patency of the respiratory tract, clearing respiratory viruses, and accelerating recovery from colds.

11. Massage the nose wings:

Make fists with both hands and use the back of your bent thumbs to massage both sides of your nose up and down. Massage 15-30 times each morning and afternoon until the area becomes red and hot. One method can improve nasal blood circulation, promote mucosal cell secretion, and expel cold viruses and their harmful metabolites from the body through the "directional swinging" of cilia.

12. Acupoint massage:

Use the thumb, index finger and middle finger tips of both hands (you can use any one finger) to massage the nasal passage, Yingxiang, Biliu and other acupoints, and then use the well-developed muscle area around the Yuji acupoint to rub the cold-sensitive areas on both sides of the nasal cavity from the Yingxiang acupoint to the Yintang acupoint. Massage the Yongquan acupoint and the soles of the feet until they become warm, so that the meridians in these two areas are unobstructed and the Qi and blood flow normally. This can prevent the invasion of cold wind and keep the enemy out of the door.

13. Acupuncture treatment:

Acupuncture in our country is quite effective in treating colds. When you have a cold, go for acupuncture as soon as possible. This can immediately relieve nasal congestion and headaches, and can also help the elevated body temperature gradually return to normal over a day and a night. Acupuncture and moxibustion can enhance the body's immune function through the regulation of meridians, so its therapeutic effect is reliable. The effective acupoints for treating colds are: Shangxing, Yintang, Fengchi, Yingxiang, Hegu and Waiguan. Leave the needle in for 15 minutes, once a day. Generally, recovery can be achieved after 2-3 treatments.

14. Take honey:

Honey contains a variety of biologically active substances that can stimulate the body's immune function. Taking it twice a day, morning and evening, can effectively treat and prevent colds and other viral diseases.

15. Get more sleep:

When people are sleeping, the bacteria in the body can produce a substance called "muramic acid", which has the effect of enhancing the body's immunity and can speed up recovery from colds and other viral diseases. Therefore, it is proposed that sleep is also a treatment method, especially for colds.
