Mumps is a type of viral infection that isn\u2019t as common as it used to be but still happens to affect thousands of people across the world every year. If you have contracted mumps, some of the first symptoms includes a sore throat, a high-grade fever that lasts for a long time, muscle and body pains as well as extreme swelling of the salivary glands, which is considered to be one of the most characteristic symptoms of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the fact that we have developed and implemented effective vaccines against the mumps, the condition isn\u2019t nearly as prevalent today as it was a few decades ago \u2013 but there are still many people who contract mumps every year when their immune system is compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 8 great and powerful home remedies for mumps that you can use together with your prescribed treatment in order to battle the symptoms of the condition much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. An Immune-Boosting Drink<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The body\u2019s immune system<\/a> is what protects against instances of viral infection, and there are many factors that can influence just how well the body\u2019s immune system works to do this \u2013 or not. When your immune system is as strong as it should be, the chances of contracting a condition like mumps in the first place will be greatly reduced, and you will recover from infections that you do contract a lot sooner than everyone else with a comparatively weaker immunity at that point in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to naturally boost your immune when you\u2019ve contracted a condition like mumps. Natural ingredients like cinnamon and turmeric are great natural immune-boosters, and they can be combined into a tea that\u2019s made on the stove with warm milk that helps to bind the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking this concoction with honey optional (but preferred) a few times per week can boost your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. CBD Oil Treatment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CBD oil can be effectively used to treat a large variety of different symptoms and conditions, and it\u2019s being implemented as a mainstream treatment with increasing frequency. The overall health benefits of CBD products when used on a regular basis can help to greatly boost your immune system, but it can also do a lot more for your health when you\u2019re trying to combat the symptoms of a condition such as mumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loss of appetite <\/a>is one of the first and most common symptoms of mumps, and it can sometimes persist for days or weeks even after the initial infection is gone. The symptom can often give your immune system an even bigger knock: Your body doesn\u2019t have the strength to fight off an infection if it can\u2019t build up the energy to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD-based products have been proven to be useful when it comes to treating appetite loss.

3. Adding Supplements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Diet is one of the largest factors that will affect your immune system and just how healthy you are, and this is why everyone is encouraged to follow a diet that\u2019s as close to healthy as you can get \u2013 but oftentimes this still isn\u2019t enough because of the sheer volume of food that you would have to consume in order to get close to your daily recommended nutrient levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This underlines why it\u2019s important to add supplements to your diet: Except in rarer cases with health conditions that can affect your ability to absorb nutrients, supplements can give you health and immune system<\/a> a tremendous boost.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended supplements can be taken in the form of vitamin and mineral supplements like Vitamin C and Magnesium, but there are also general multivitamins available to boost your health as well as more specific options such as supplements for sportsmen, mental performance and pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Cold Compress Packs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mumps <\/a>can have your entire body in pain, but it\u2019s the more specific kind of pain and swelling of the salivary glands people associate with mumps that can be counted as one of its worst symptoms \u2013 and most people who contract mumps will be affected by this symptom for approximately 10 days or more after they\u2019ve started showing the first symptoms of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swelling can be severe, and it can usually make even simple actions such as swallowing or turning the head extremely painful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold compress packs help a great deal towards reducing the associated swelling, and they can also help for the associated pain that comes along with having mumps. Pain felt in other parts of the body (such as the groin) can also many times be helped by the application of cold compress packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re also longer-lasting (and less dangerous for a fever) than a cold bath when you\u2019re battling the symptoms of a severe infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Natural Aspirin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aspirin <\/a>is one of nature\u2019s best-known compounds, and it\u2019s available at most drug stores and supermarkets all over the world \u2013 but it\u2019s for a lot more than just treating headaches and general pains. It\u2019s one of the best ways in which to treat a fever, and it\u2019s often prescribed as a natural blood-thinner for conditions that are in need of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re running a high-grade fever for an extended period of time, it almost always points to an infection somewhere in the body that needs to be addressed as soon as possible; letting a fever continue past this point can be dangerous to your health \u2013 and could even be fatal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspirin can be bought over the counter when you need it, and it can do wonders for taking care of the pain and fever that people suffer from when diagnosed with mumps. There are also natural forms of aspirin and paracetamol out there, like what\u2019s found in willow bark, that can be brewed into a tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Hydration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s recommended by health professionals and experts that people consume at least eight glasses of water or fluid per day, and this is for very good reason: Hydrating does a lot more than just take care of your skin \u2013 it also takes care of the rest of your body, which is made up out of cells that are mostly water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re sick, your body will naturally dehydrate a lot faster. This can often only make the associated symptoms of the infection a lot worse, and dehydration<\/a> can easily be a symptom that kills when it isn\u2019t treated soon enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to hydrate when you are sick. Consider it one of your biggest priorities if you\u2019re trying to get rid of an infection right now or if you\u2019re currently recovering from any conditions like the mumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t forget that it doesn\u2019t have to be eight glasses of pure water: Fruit juice is filled with nutrients, and also counts as essential fluids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. An Herbal Bath<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of books could be written about the potential health benefits that are hidden in herbs, and thousands of books have; the same is also true for an increasing amount of clinical studies that are now being done on the official health benefits and how they can be better applied in a clinical setting for the potential treatment of a thousand different conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to take more natural inspiration for your health, an herbal bath can go a long way towards easing the symptoms of body pain and fever. Herbs <\/a>that have been known to work well for relaxation includes lavender and sage; avoid herbs such as peppermint or spearmint when you are sick and have an infection (or health condition) which could be affecting your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to double-check the temperature of the bath before getting in: A fever can sometimes change how sensitive your skin really is to temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Staying at Rest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The body naturally does most of what it needs to do for the healing process while asleep; this is because of the fact that the body can use most of the stored energy for healing instead of having to spend it on other tasking things that might have been going on while the body was awake. This is why people are more likely to feel sleepy or tired when they are sick \u2013 and one of the best things that you can do would be to just go along with what your body is telling you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re currently trying to overcome a condition like the mumps<\/a>, then you should combine as much rest with the treatment you are following as you can \u2013 if you don\u2019t, you could only risk making yourself iller.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest when you can and your body can potentially heal a lot faster, especially when combined with the other tips in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
