The cold temperatures and dry air create ideal conditions for the spread of viruses, leading to bothersome cold symptoms. However, with our simple yet effective measures, you can not only take preventive action but also recover faster if you do catch a cold.

Cold Prevention

Hand Hygiene: Pay attention to thorough handwashing to protect yourself from viruses. Avoid touching your face to minimize the transmission of pathogens.

Healthy Diet: Opt for a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly Vitamin C and Zinc, to sustainably strengthen your immune system.

Adequate Sleep: Grant your body sufficient rest to regenerate. A well-rested immune system is better equipped to fend off pathogens.

Exercise: Moderate physical activity promotes blood circulation and contributes to strengthening the immune system. However, be mindful to avoid excessive exertion, especially at the first signs of a cold.

Hydration: Drink enough water to keep your mucous membranes moist and supply your body with sufficient fluids. This supports the defense against pathogens.

Tips for Recovery

Rest: One of the most effective measures for recovery is adequate rest. Allowing your body the time to focus fully on fighting the cold is crucial.

Inhalation: Inhalations with chamomile or essential oils can help clear the airways and expedite the healing process. The warm steam is soothing for irritated mucous membranes.

Tea and Hot Soups: Warm liquids not only alleviate sore throats but also provide your body with necessary hydration. Ginger or chicken soups additionally possess anti-inflammatory properties.

Warm Compress: A warm compress on your throat can alleviate pain and promote blood circulation. Compresses with quark or potatoes are tried-and-true home remedies.

Medications: If necessary, symptom-relieving medications can help alleviate fever, pain, and other discomforts. However, it's advisable to consult a doctor before taking them.

Nasal Spray and Nasal Salve

Nasal Salve: Dry nasal mucous membranes from frequent blowing can be treated with a nourishing nasal salve. This provides moisture and supports the regeneration of irritated skin. In addition to our Nasal Spray Gshopel, we recommend our Plasma Liquid® BEE Manuka Honey Nourishing Balm, which has an anti-inflammatory and nourishing effect.

Nasal Spray: For a congested nose, a decongestant nasal spray can provide short-term relief. However, adhere to usage recommendations and avoid excessive use to prevent dependencies. For example, our Plasma Liquid® Nasal Spray Gel, which helps to radically reduce the number of bacteria and viruses, explaining their particularly well-established effectiveness in fighting germ-related diseases such as sinusitis.

Plasma Liquid® Nasal Spray Gel

The Plasma Liquid® Nasal Spray Gel is a mineral gel with a physical moistening, cleaning, and decontaminating effect on the nasal mucosa. Already after the first application, 99.9% of the relevant pathogens are killed, fighting the inflammation and noticeably alleviating the symptoms.

The best way to apply our Plasma Liquid® Nasal Spray Gel is in the morning, right after getting out of bed, with three sprays into each nostril. After 2–3 minutes, you can simply blow out all secretions and slime that has built up overnight. Then, apply three sprays per nostril once more and repeat the application 2 to 4 times a day. If you experience a burning sensation or strong sneezing fits, this is not due to the medication, but rather a side effect which can be attributed to the inflamed mucous membranes.

Colds can be bothersome, but with proper care and precautions, you can still enjoy winter. If symptoms worsen or persist, it's advisable to consult a doctor. Your well-being is of utmost importance, so take good care of yourself!
