The treatment of the to
n
s
illi
t
is on the lines of m
o
dern medical system by
means of painting and spraying is
both harmful and suppr
e
ssive. It do
e
s not help to rid the sys
t
em of the toxins, which are the root of the trouble. In fact it
f
orces these
toxins back into the sys
t
em, which may cause more serious trouble la
t
er on. The correct way to treat the disease is to cleanse the system of toxic waste through proper dietary and other nat
u
ral methods.
To begin wi
t
h, the patie
n
t should fast
for three to
five days by
which time serious symptoms would subside. Nothing but water and orange juice should
b
e taken during this time.
The bowels
should be cleansed daily with a warm water en
e
ma during the period of
f
asting. A cold pack should be
a
pplied to the throat at two-hourly interval during the day. The procedure is to wring out some li
n
en material in cold wate
r
, wrap it two or three times around t
h
e throat and cover it with some flannelling.
The throat may be gar
g
led several
t
imes daily with neat lemon juice. G
a
rgle made from the fenugreek seeds is very effective in
severe cas
e
s. To make such a gargle, two tablespoonful of fenugreek seeds should be allowed
to simmer for half an ho
u
r in a litre of
water and then set
aside to co
o
l. The entire
quantity should be used
as a soothi
n
g gargle in a day with beneficial results.
