Get the Point

Don’t forget to wash! Many of the unwanted viruses enter our bodies through our eyes. They can be airborne or transmitted when we rub our eyes with contaminated hands and fingers. Cold viruses can survive for hours on your hands (or someone else’s hands) or on surfaces like desks or countertops. So wash your hands frequently to fend off cold viruses.

Cough: Expectorating to Feel Better

A cough is a sudden, explosive way to clear material from your airways, which means that having a cough is a good thing as long as it doesn’t last too long.

When it comes to diagnosing a cough, conventional and Oriental Medicines have much in common. Practitioners of both will ask you how long you’ve had it and categorize it as either acute (meaning it lasts from three to seven days) or chronic (meaning it lasts more than 10 days). They both will listen and categorize the sounds of the cough as weak, barking, loose, or rattling, each one indicating a different likely underlying cause. The time of day and the color and texture of your mucus provide further clues about what’s causing you to cough.
