Be aware but don't panic with Corona viruses

Awareness and fear are two simple words but have maximum involvement in everybody life. Awareness gives a solution to tackle the situation before it becomes worst. Whereas, fear attacks on sentiments of the person and create nervousness for a particular thing. Can we control fear by developing awareness within us?  Yes! It can be developed by knowing the actual fact in detail. The Coronaviruses become pandemic and have severely attacked human beings not only in a particular country but all over the world. But, everywhere one thing is very common and that was the "fear". Why? because, due to the active media and smartphone world, everybody knows that there is no vaccine invented so far for these viruses. In this situation, if anybody gets corona positive and doctors advise to admit in hospitals for certain days for medications, the patient unable to establish faith in doctors as he knows from various sources that the specific treatment is not available so far. This fear makes the patient down morally. As soon as fear triggers on moral (thinking) to the patients, the immune graphs of the patient get lowered and the recovery rate become slow. This may make a person metabolically unfit too. 

As we know that corona is not the first time come in existence in 2019 but it was already present in nature since long back. The starting symptoms of corona is very much similar to the common cold and seasonal fever. A person suffering from common cold also has sneezing, fever, suffocation due to irritation in the throat, and formation of phlegm in the respiratory tract. Most of the cases this remained untreated and get automatically cleared after 5-7 days. This common cold itself making patients critical if they already have cardiac, renal, pancreatic, liver, respiratory and diabetic associated problems and they need intensive care for that disease too. Practically, it is seen that corona also affects those who had either weak immunity or suffering from a long illness of aforesaid diseases. 

Previously, it was suggested by many authentic resources that the corona patients shows dry cough, irritating throat and breathing difficulties symptoms and then, it was said by many responsible medical authorities that many patients do not show symptoms and remain as "asymptomatic" 

After corona come in existence, the common cold and other communicable viral disease rushed away? Absolutely No. It means they are also in the environment and we are facing the same. More people may have coughing, sneezing, etc. but not a corona patients but it is very difficult to distinguish among them. 

The Monsoon now started in Kerala , south India and slowly it will travel to North India within the month. The fluctuation in temperature will occur and many diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, common cold, etc may come as usually it repeating every year but we were not panic as we accustomed about that. 

In our family, if any member gets affected by the common cold, very soon it will spread to all the family members because it is also communicable disease. If anybody in the family able to maintain social distancing and has strong immunity, he or she might suffer less. 

The same thing we, have to continue by following -

1. Maintain social distancing.

2. Avoid Physical Contact/Shaking hands

3. Wear Facemask

4. Wash hands with soap frequently.

5. Deep breathing (Anulom and Vilom) / Pranayam daily 20 minutes preferably morning time.

7. Avoid eating unhealthy food (junk foods)

8. Prefer Vegetarian foods with salads 

Generally, if a person have continuous fever for more than 12 hours due to viral infection, he or she loss the taste and smelling power during the fever and infection and after fever while recovering also. This is a common phenomenon of the body. For that, we should not be panic.

Here, I would like to suggest some tips to regain taste and smell within the hour- 

1. Just take a medium-sized lemon. Cut it into two equal half. Take a well cleaned flat pan or fry pan.  Put the lemon on a flat pan in a reverse manner so that the cutting surface of lemon touches the surface of the flat pan. Switch on gas stove with slow flame. Heat the lemon for 5 minutes. Now take the heated lemon and sprinkle one pinch of table salt and one pinch of black pepper powder on the cut surface of the lemon. Now gently rub over the tongue for 2-3 minutes by slight squeezing so that the lemon juices should also come out along with spicy salt. Yow will see the magic, all the taste buds of the tongue will be opening and you are enjoying the taste. If require the whole process may be repeated after a 4-5 hour interval once more.

2. Take a small cut pieces of neat and well-cleaned root of Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal). Keep it in the mouth near premolar and molar teeth without chewing. Slowly the extract from the root will comes out and clear all the respiratory problems. Allow smooth breathing and regain taste and smell within the days.

Enjoy life without fear. Problem and struggle in life are everywhere and fear is not a solution. We must be aware so that we may be able to solve the problem without difficulties and ultimately we will be the winner.
