Fending off the Flu
At the first sign of
flu-like symptoms (
fever,
chills, body aches and pains) take Oscillococcinum. Donīt let the peculiar name throw you. This homeopathic remedy has been used for over 40 years in Europe with impressive results and is manufactured in accordance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopia of the United States. It has been used by over 43 million people in over 63 countries.
Oscillococcinum contains very small doses of specific, diluted, flu-related active subtances, which in turn stimulate your natural defense mechanisms. The remedy treatment comes in three vials of sweet tasting pellets you simply allow to dissolve under your tongue every 6 hours. There are NO known side effects, overdosage or drug interaction risks associated with this product and it is deemed safe for children over the age of two. Oscillococcinum is becoming readily available at drug stores, health food stores or you can order it through the Health4Her link in my "Bio" area.
Folks with heart disease, hypertension, glaucoma, thyroid or kidney disorders or asthma and those who cannot use antihistamines should consult with their doctors before using.
