Q: What should I have on hand in during for the flu season?
A: Getting the flu shot is the most effective way of preventing the flu illness. Homeopathic medicines can be used to complement the flu shot. A weekly dose of Influenzinum 9ch and a weekly dose of Thymuline 9ch on a different day of the week may enhance the protection. If you still get sick, then PASCOLEUCYN ®can be used to relieve symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore throat, cough and fever. This homeopathic formula can be used even in children. An herbal option is SAMBUCUS, a black elderberry preparation that can reduce the duration and severity of flu symptoms.
