Suffering from a flu virus can put you out of action for days - often weeks. Help your body to rid itself of the virus more quickly using the best of herbal wisdom.
Often a bad cold can seem like flu, but whereas you can still function despite feeling ill if you have a cold, flu is more debilitating and can take several weeks to recover from. As flue is a virus, it won't respond to
antibiotics or conventional medical treatment, but herbal remedies ease the symptoms and boost your immune system so that you can recover from the virus more quickly and avoid most of the unpleasant side-effects.
The onset of flu is usually experienced a aches and pains all over the body, a high fever, headache, sore throat and an inability to do anything but rest. Your body's reaction to the virus is to raise your temperature to burn it out of your system, so you need plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Herbal teas and infusions are nature's gift at this time.
The flu is a highly infectious type of virus and there are many different strains, all immune to the healing effects of antibiotics. It spreads through water droplets and in sneezes and coughs, so it can quickly pass through groups of people, especially in such places as offices, schools and public transport - anywhere, in fact, where large numbers of people congregate.
If your immune system is strong, you will have more resistance to the virus, lessening your chances of succumbing to it. You will also be able to recover more quickly, so boosting your immune system by using herbs, ensuring that you eat well and get enough rest, will help you to avoid the worst of the bug when it's circulating. If you're feeling generally tired and run down, you will be more susceptible, so take steps to strengthen your system. Even if you are unable to avoid the flu, you will at least be in the best position possible to fight it.
Combine some of the effective flu-fighting herbal ingredients available to make concoctions that will soothe, heal and nourish you until the virus has been banished.
