What can I do about flu
The flu season is almost here, so what natural ways can we protect ourself. Firstly always seek advice from your GP before considering natural medicine. Complimentary therapy can be useful in helping to protect yourself from the flu, or quickening the recovery.
At the first signs of flu take 20-30 drops of elderberry tincture three to four times a day for three days. Elderberry has been used for centuries to fight viruses, and one research study found that people who took it recovered from flu significantly faster than those who did not.
Naturpaths recommend Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic remedy for reducing the severity of flu symptoms. It is available online and in some health food shops. Be sure to use it within 12-48 hours of the first appearance of your symptoms.
You could also try N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a form of the amino acid cysteine. It helps to thin and loosen mucus and reduce flu symptoms. Take one 600mg dose three times a day, and of course my own favorite vitamin c in higher doses.
