Six home remedies to fight viral fever


Viral infections are one of the most common illnesses that can affect anyone at any age including infants and children. Symptoms can vary from fever and cough to sore throat and body aches.

While there are many non-infectious causes of fever, a fever is one common symptom of a viral infection - affecting different areas of the body such as intestine, lungs, airways, etc.
Fortunately, there are various herbs that are effective to relieve the symptoms associated with a viral fever due to the presence of anti-bacterial, germicidal, anti-biotic and fungicidal properties in them.

Following are five natural remedies for viral fever:
Tulsi leaves: Boil fresh Tulsi leaves with half a spoon of clove powder in one litre of water. Boil it till water reduces to half. Allow it to cool and drink this solution three to four times a day.
Garlic and olive oil: Both olive oil and garlic are wonderful home remedies for fever. Crush two cloves of raw garlic and mix them with two tablespoons of olive oil. Warm the mixture up a bit and apply it to the soles of your feet. After applying, cover each foot with a plastic wrapovernight.
Coriander seeds: Add one teaspoon of coriander seeds to a glass of water. Boil this solution for a few minutes and strain. You can add little milk and sugar to make it more palatable. Drink it to relieve the symptoms.
Raisins: Soak a handful of raisins in half a cup of water. After a while, crush the raisins into the water and strain. Then add the juice from a half of a lime and drink twice a day.
Ginger and honey tea: Take a small piece of ginger root, peel it and chop it roughly. Add this to a cup of water and boil the mixture for a few minutes. Add a teaspoon of honey and drink this solution 2-3 times a day.
Herbal teas: Drinking herbal teas during a viral fever can be very beneficial as they are full of vitamins and minerals. Taking herbal teas during fever can help stimulate the body as well as keep the body hydrated.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
