Английская Википедия:Alternative treatments used for the common cold
Шаблон:Short description Alternative treatments used for the common cold include numerous home remedies and alternative medicines. Scientific research regarding the efficacy of each treatment is generally nonexistent or inconclusive.[1][2][3] Current best evidence indicates prevention, including hand washing and neatness,[4][5] and management of symptoms.[6]
Echinacea
A systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration, last updated in 2014, examines twenty-four randomized controlled trials studying various echinacea preparations for prevention and treatment of the common cold. Echinacea showed no benefit over placebo for prevention.[2] Evidence for treatment was inconsistent. Reported side effects were rare.[2]
2007 meta-analyses conclude that there is some evidence that echinacea may reduce either the duration or severity of the common cold, but results are not consistent.[7]
Use of echinacea preparations is not currently recommended.[1][8][9][10][11][12]
Chicken soup
In the twelfth century, Moses Maimonides wrote, "Chicken soup ... is recommended as an excellent food as well as medication."[13] Since then, there have been numerous reports in the United States that chicken soup alleviates the symptoms of the common cold. Even usually staid medical journals have published tongue-in-cheek articles on the alleged medicinal properties of chicken soup.[14][15][16]
Pelargonium sidoides extract
A 2013 Cochrane review found tentative evidence of benefit with Pelargonium sidoides for the symptoms of the common cold; however, the quality of the evidence was very poor.[17]
Steam inhalation
Many people believe that steam inhalation reduces cold symptoms.[18] There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine usage of steam inhalation for treating the common cold.[3] There have been reports of children being badly burned by accidentally spilling the water used for steam inhalation.[19][20]
Evidence does not support a relationship between cold temperature exposure or a "chill" (feeling of coldness) and the common cold.[21]
