Why we get flu

Influenza – “the flu", is an infectious disease  caused by RNA virus better known as Influenza viruses. There are many different types of flu viruses.

Preventing the spread

If you want to be one of the people who will catch the flu this season, shake hands with a lot of people already suffering from it.

A sick person suffering from flu can spread the virus from one day before to three-seven days following the infection. They stay contagious for a long time. The virus travels through the air in form of cough’s and sneezes liquid droplets. Virus prefers to stay in cold humid environment due to which they are most active in winter season.

• Always cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough
• Throw away used tissues immediately.
• Wash your hands often , especially after you sneeze, cough, or touch your eyes, nose, or mouth
• Keep your distance from others  to prevent the spread to them
• Disinfect contaminated household items frequently, including children’s toys
• Keep room warm and dry

Tips for health

• Eat healthy and avoid excess sugars that are prone to suppress immune system. Honey is good
• Drink plenty of water which will keep you well hydrated, fresh and active
• Avoid smoking and other narcotic drugs. They destroy the fine hairs of respiratory track that restricts the entry of viruses in your system and also weakens the muscles of respiration
• Take warm showers and inhale steam or other vapors (eucalyptus oil, wintergreen oil etc.)
• Take Vitamin-C in natural form like peppers, broccoli, papayas (paw-paw), cauliflower, orange etc.

The Allopathic Approach – Conventional Treatment

Just a symptomatic treatment… Allopathy has all the different drugs for cough, sneeze, allergy, fever and/or pains. These drugs never help in increasing your own immunity. Some of the drugs like anti-allergens, bronchodilators, steroids decongestants are prone to form the habit. Allopathic drugs have many side-effects too. These drugs can be used once in a while when there are no other options or in case of extreme emergency/severity. When you have better and safe options like natural medicines, one should go for it.

The Homeopathic Approach – Natural way

We already know that not all the people staying in the same environment suffer from flu or any other complaint. Out of ten just one or two catches the flu. Why so? It all depends on the immunity of an individual. That’s the main factor, Homeopathic medicines deal with. Homeopathic medicines are selected very meticulously taking in account the complete details of the complaint and also the nature and type (physical and mental) of an individual. It also includes the past, present and the family history, the life style of an individual and various other factors that may affect the immunity.

Doing so, Homeopath can finalize the medicine that best suits the case (an individual), which when prescribed, increases the immunity by many folds and thus prevent and completely cure the complaint forever.
