Approximately 80% of the people who contact the disease show mild symptoms and only 5 % show severe symptoms of dengue and 1% cases may prove to be fatal. Dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock are the two serious types of fever that may prove to be fatal.

Simple and effective home remedies to fight Dengue

Come monsoon and the risk of catching the dangerous dengue infection will rise considerably. While it is easy to fall prey to the mosquito-borne viral disease, recovery can take its time. However, natural home remedies can speed up your healing process and replenish the body by providing essential nutrients in time of need. Here are some readily available home ingredients which can come handy during recovery:

Papaya leaf treatment

Papaya leaves are considered to be one of the best and the most effective natural remedies to fight a Dengue infection. To prepare this home remedy, wash and cut papaya leaves in a bowl and to this, add a glass of water to it. Crush it coarsely to make a watery paste. Sieve the prepared concoction and drink it. This will help effectively in increasing the platelet count and pump your immunity.

Turmeric and black pepper

We all know how good turmeric or haldi is for your immunity. This superfood has several anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties which work on the core levels to eliminate the infection and fight viruses. Add it to any dish you are preparing or have it with warm milk to recover faster.

You can also have a concoction of turmeric and jaggery to heal the body.

Tulsi leaves and pepper

Using tulsi leaves to fight dengue is a traditional remedy which works wonders. This easy home remedy, available in all homes aids speedy recovery and wards off viruses.

To prepare the concoction, take 3-4 tulsi leaves. Wash it and then boil it in a saucepan by adding a glass of water. Once it boils, add a little black pepper, which again has loads of benefits to it. Drink this juice a number of times through the recovery period to regain energy.

Pomegranate and pumpkin

Pomegranate and pumpkin are two of the best available fruits in the market to recover from an infection. Best had raw or in a juice form, these fruits pump up your blood platelet counts because of the presence of ellagic acid in them.

Beetroot and lemon juice

Beetroot again is a wonderful home remedy to fight fatigue, pain and similar symptoms of dengue infection. Since it is highly potent in iron content, it has a huge role in boosting your blood cell production as well as purifying it. Having a mixture made out of beetroot and lemon juice not just hydrates the body but also boosts the absorption of iron content into the body.

Immunity boosting wellness chai

Not just a bad dengue infection, this magical traditional chai preparation by wellness coach Luke Coutinho is great to detox the body and boost the immunity and has anti-inflammatory properties which make it a must-have during monsoon season.

To make this tea, bring together fresh spices like cinnamon, turmeric, ginger powder, black pepper, jaggery, and cold pressed coconut oil (one tablespoon). Brew all of this in water and add a cup of almond milk to it. All of these ingredients work together to boost your metabolism and recharge the body's vital organs back in action.
Tip
While all these home remedies work greatly in benefiting the body, always take a doctor's advice before trying any remedy. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking rest also play a vital role in recovery.
