Rubella
Avoid solid and rich cooked foods and opt instead for lightly cooked watery foods, homemade watery soups, freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas and water. Freshly squeezed juice of citrus fruits such as lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange will provide vitamin C and immune enhancing substances. Add a teaspoon of good quality honey to herbal teas and juices. A useful herbal tea could consist of yarrow, peppermint, elderflowers, holy thistle, lemon balm and chamomile. This combination will provide anti-viral properties, help to open the skin pores (reducing fever and allowing the rash to run its course), stimulate the eliminatory and cleansing organs (liver, kidneys and bowels) and soothe any signs of restlessness. Use equal parts of the herbs and drink 3 cups daily, 1 tablespoon of mix per cup. Echinacea tincture can be taken to help stimulate the immune system and speed up resolution. Another good anti-viral tea could consist of equal parts of elderberries, star anise, thyme and cleavers (to help relieve congestion in the lymph glands). Take 3 cups daily, you can take this tea alongside the tea above. Add a tablespoon of marigold flowers, chickweed, plantain and oats or oatstraw to a cotton sock or similar and place in a warm bath. Whilst soaking, squeeze the sock and gently rub over the skin to provide relief and healing to the sore or itchy skin. Have a warm bath daily, make the water hot if the skin rash seems stubborn in coming to the surface. Add herbs to the bath according to your particular needs. Avoid bright light as the eyes can be very sensitive in Rubella infection. Make sure the bowels are moving and not constipated.General characteristics
