Treat a Cold using a Traditional Vietnamese Method
|
This is the traditional way to treat a cold in Vietnam. Steps
- Boil 2 liters of water with herbal ingredients (mint leaves, grapefruit leaves, lemongrass).
- Take a pot to the place where there is no breeze. For example, the bathroom, or your bedroom.
- Take off your clothes.
- Use one blanket to cover your entire body and the pot (make sure you do not get burn by standing too close to the pot).
- Open the lid and place the face toward the pot.
- Try to inhale the vapor that comes out from the pot in 10 minutes. (You can take a break but do not come out of the blanket, just move the face away from the the pot.)
- Take off the blanket and use a towel to dry your body.
- Get dressed. Do not take shower immediately after doing this method. Let the effects settle in.
- Take a nap.
