Managing Seasonal Flu Naturally

Most seasonal flu resolves on its own in five to seven days. The useful interventions are unglamorous: rest, fluids, and not going to work while you are infectious.

Homeopathic support during flu is aimed at comfort and recovery time. Steam, warm fluids and adequate sleep do most of the work regardless of what else you take.

Watch for the signs that mean this is no longer a home matter: fever above 39°C for more than three days, breathlessness, chest pain, or confusion. Those need a hospital, not a chamber visit.

If you are pregnant, over 65, or have asthma or diabetes, get in touch early rather than waiting it out.
