Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness that poses a significant health risk, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. At Viveda Wellness Resort, we believe in holistic and natural approaches to health and wellness. Here are some natural tips to help you prevent dengue:
1. Maintain a Mosquito-Free Environment
- Remove Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty and clean containers that collect water, such as flower pots, bird baths, and buckets.
- Use Natural Repellents: Plant mosquito-repelling herbs like citronella, lemongrass, and basil around your home or resort. These plants naturally deter mosquitoes.
2. Enhance Personal Protection
- Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for long-sleeved shirts and long pants, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Light-colored clothing is preferable as it is less attractive to mosquitoes.
- Natural Mosquito Repellents: Apply natural mosquito repellents made from essential oils such as Neem and Coconut Oil. These oils can be mixed with carrier oils and applied to exposed skin.
3. Strengthen Your Immune System
- Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, and fresh fruit juices. Proper hydration helps in maintaining overall health and a robust immune system.
- Balanced Diet: Consume a diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, and zinc, such as nuts and seeds, can enhance your immune response.
