  • The best way to treat the flu is to get plenty of bed rest and drink lots of fluids. Conventional doctors often recommend flu vaccines for high-risk groups such as young children, the elderly, those with chronic diseases, weak immune systems, or professionals working with high-risk groups. There are several controversies regarding the conventional flu vaccine, including the risk of side effects. In addition, recent research has suggested that elderly people who have received the flu vaccine do not necessarily have a lower rate of infection compared to those who do not. Most people who are infected with the flu recover completely in 1 to 2 weeks. In some cases, severe complications such as pneumonia, nerve and brain damage may develop from a flu infection. However, most people recover from the flu without further complications, particularly if their immune systems are strong and healthy. Natural herbal and homeopathic remedies have also been proven to be extremely beneficial in treating influenza without drying out the mucus membranes (which happens with conventional decongestants) and without robbing the body of good bacteria (which happens with conventional antibiotics). Using a natural cold and flu remedy will not only help you to address the underlying cause of influenza, but ensure that you maintain optimal health and well-being. Herbs such as Hypoxis rooperi and Astralagus membranaceus help to boost the immune system and act as strengthening tonics. Other effective healing herbs that provide a natural cold and flu remedy include Yarrow, Elderflower, and Peppermint. When these herbs are combined together, they can help to reduce fever and act as an inhalant to relieve chest congestion effectively. Echinacea is another powerful herb that has been shown to greatly support the immune system, and thus help the body to ward off the flu virus. Remember to source herbal remedies from a reputable company, as therapeutic dosage and ingredient quality is important when using herbal medicines. Many people are unaware that there are effective homeopathic alternatives to the conventional flu vaccine. Orally administered, homeopathic flu vaccines may be used by all ages and can help to prevent influenza infection, without the side effects and complications sometimes experienced by the conventional flu vaccine.
