Treat You Flu Symptoms With A Bowl of Chicken Soup

You perhaps have heard it that chicken soup is a great medicine. Whether it had been your mom, grandmother, or a Campbell's soup commercial presenting the advice, a hot bowl of chicken soup continues to be touted as the cure for almost every illness, from the usual cold to a terrible scratch on the knee. However is chicken soup, in and of itself, actually a "medicine" of sorts? Can it genuinely have therapeutic capabilities, or is its magic all in our heads?




Dr. Stephen Rennard, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, reckoned his family's chicken soup really did work, however as a scientist, he wanted proof. Dr, Stephen examined his theory and added his other half's home made chicken soup to neutrophils - white blood cells. To his astonishment, the soup did help slow the neutrophils. Actually, he remarks that chemical substances in the broth-based elixir washes a stuffy nose by inhibiting irritation of the cells in the sinus pathways.
