Treat mumps with natural herbs By Staff Writer

Similar to measles and chicken pox, mumps is also a viral infection. It not only results in inflammation, but enlarges the salivary glands. In addition, it comes with headache, fever and a dry mouth sensation.

Today we have a vaccine called MMR, which is prescribed to mumps-affected children, and has the capacity of protecting them against mumps, measles and rubella. Though mumps is rarely found today, not completely unheard of.

Traditionally the mumps was treated through antibiotics, considered as rest and strong. Other options for the treatment of mumps are also available. They boast of relieving the symptoms and cure the mumps.

First to talk of is the Colloidal silver, natural antibiotic that doesn’t have any side effects. It is claimed to be highly helpful curing the mumps.

Put it under the tongue, keep it held there for a few minute unless your body absorbs it. In addition, if you keep the Colloidal silver holding in the inflamed cheek, painful swelling in the cheeks can also be treated.

Manufacturer to manufacturer recommend different dosages that is why go through the instruction on the bottle very carefully.

Next natural antibiotic to talk about is the olive leaf extract, which boasts of boosting the effect of colloidal silver. Olive leaf extract comes in both liquid and pills. It comes rich with oleuropein that attacks the external protective protein coat of the virus and weakens it.

You can also reduce inflammation or swelling in the cheeks through a home-based paste, which should contain one teaspoon of ginger powder and a few drops of water. Rubbing the paste softly into your cheeks proves to be highly helpful for the swelling. Take this paste three to two times a day.

Last but not the least is the aconitum napellus, another homeopathic medicine, which brags of reducing the painful symptoms of mumps. Prepare a dosage of 6C 3-times a day unless the pain subsides.
