Salt and tumeric

One other less known form of natural medicine has its origins in India. Ayurvedic medicine balances the imbalance in a body. For Mono it is recommended to gargle with salt water and turmeric.

Drink lots of water

A body becomes ill if its immune system is too low to fight off the germs. To maintain a healthy body it is necessary to drink plenty of water as water flushes out the toxins that accumulate in the body.

Furthermore it is essential to get proper nutrition on a regular basis and proper sleep. During sleep the body heals and rejuvenates itself. It is also advisable to wash your hands regularly because many germs are passed from one person to another through touching, whether each other or a common object.

And lastly, breathe clean air

Yoga masters know the importance of breathing properly because it maintains good health. By breathing in pollution or cigarette smoke, the lungs are not bringing oxygen to the body, and oxygen is one of the essential requirements to maintain life.
