Do consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Use home remedies just as an adjunct treatment. Mumps is a viral infection that is common in children between ages 5 and 15, but even adults can suffer from it. This contagious disease primarily affects the salivary glands, located at the back of each cheek in the area between the ear and jaw.
The infection causes swelling of the salivary glands as well as intense pain. Other common symptoms include very high fever, headache, sore throat, sore ears, loss of appetite, fatigue, and difficulty swallowing, chewing and even talking. The virus spreads through germs transmitted from an infected person’s coughing and sneezing. There is an incubation period of between 14 and 24 days before symptoms appear, so people can spread the virus before they are even aware they have the illness. Mumps is one of those infectious diseases that runs its course and resolves naturally. While few antibiotic medications are available to treat mumps, you can try some natural home remedies to promote faster recovery and prevent complications.
Chebulic Myrobalan
Chebulic myrobalan, also known as Terminalia Chebula, is considered a miracle herb that can effectively treat mumps. The herb has anti-inflammatory as well as antibiotic properties that help reduce the swelling that occurs with mumps. Put one or two Chebulic myrobalan fruits in the sun for five to six hours. Grind the dried Chebulic myrobalan in a mixer with a little water to make a paste. Apply the paste externally on the areas of the throat and neck where there is swelling. Follow this remedy two or three times daily for a week to get relief from the symptoms.
Sacred Fig
The leaves of sacred fig can be used to control the symptoms of mumps. The leaves contain antiviral properties that help kill the virus that causes mumps. Plus, they have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and inflammation, two of the most common symptoms of this infectious disease. Clean one or two large sacred fig leaves and then smear them with clarified butter or oil. Warm the leaves and apply them over the affected area. Secure them in place with tape or a bandage and leave them on for at least half an hour. Do this twice daily for about a week for best results.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is another very effective home remedy for mumps. The antibiotic, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of aloe vera do wonders to reduce inflammation and pain. Peel off a piece of an aloe vera leaf and extract its gel. Mix a little turmeric with the gel and then rub it over the swollen area of the throat. Leave it on for half an hour and then clean the area with a warm washcloth. Follow this simple remedy two or three times daily for at least a week. Also, drink at least two ounces of aloe vera juice daily to stimulate the immune system and speed up the healing process. Note: If you are taking diuretics or have diabetes, avoid consuming aloe vera juice as it could lower your blood sugar level.
Asparagus
Asparagus contains many essential minerals and nutrients that can help your body fight the virus that causes mumps. For the treatment of mumps, use the seeds of the asparagus. Mix three teaspoons each of asparagus seed powder and fenugreek seed powder. Add a little water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on the swollen area. Allow it to dry on its own and then clean the area with a wet washcloth. Follow this remedy twice daily for seven to 10 days.
