Rules for staying healthy

Often, the cold season and constant changes in the weather are accompanied by colds and acute respiratory diseases. The reason is that many people forget about basic precautions, dressing lightly, neglecting personal hygiene and not giving the body proper rest. The observance of basic rules will help prevent the disease and stop its development. However, first let’s figure out how the disease begins. The penetration of the causative agent of an infectious disease (viruses or bacteria) into the body of a healthy person is called infection. Sources of an infectious disease, a sick person or a healthy carrier, release microorganisms into the environment, which can enter the body of a healthy person through the air (when sneezing and coughing), things of common use, food and water.

Effectiveness of use of licorice root infusion in frequently ill children

Children who often suffer from acute respiratory infections (ARI) are an urgent medical and social problem in pediatrics. Phytotherapy plays an important role in the treatment and prophylaxis of ARI in frequently ill children (FIC), in particular, the use of licorice root [6]. The active ingredient of licorice root is glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), which has antiviral, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects [1]. GA is active against DNA and RNA containing viruses, including various strains of viruses Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster, human papillomaviruses, cytomegaloviruses. GA inhibits viruses at concentrations that are non-toxic for normally functioning cells [10, 11, 14]. In this regard, we decided to study the effectiveness of using infusion of licorice root in FIC.

Life is animated water

Throughout the history of their existence, people have accumulated rich experience in using of water for medicinal purposes. People were treated and strengthened by it in Ancient Egypt, Babylon, China and Ancient Greece. It is interesting that the word “doctor” in translation from Assyrian means “deity who knows water”. In Central Asia, baths existed already in the 2nd-1st centuries BC in the territory of Nisa. This is evidenced by the characteristic remains of the walls, properly designed “bathtubs”, floors and fragments of painting. Archaeologists accurately established the fact that the discovered room is a bathhouse. There is a legend about Rodoguna, the daughter of the Parthian king Mithridates I. Once, when she was having a bath, the capital city was besieged by enemies. Twisting her wet hair, which she vowed to wash after the victory, the queen jumped on her horse and at the head of the army rushed to the enemies.
