Get plenty of bed rest, try to sleep a lot, read all your magazines and a novel. Do not start heavy housecleaning or physical exercise. Remember to have a large jug of water nearby, to flush the flu through your system. Think positively. Health Question & Answer

As a naturopath, I can confidently state that there is no cure for the flu or common cold. Not in conventional medicine, nor in alternative medicine. Cold's and flu's are usually short lived in that the virus incubates and infects over a short period of time. You should focus either on preventing the flu or overcoming it rapidly.

I find that at least 500mg of vitamin C with Echinacea angustifolia (the E.angustifolia species is more effective) is often sufficient for most cold's and flu's. Other herbs that can be effective is Schizandra, Astralagus and olive leaf extracts. Medicinal mushrooms like Reishi have shown to assist significantly in preventing the flu.

There are some homeopathic rememdies that can also assist like Anas barb, Gelsemium and Belladonna for the fever. You will find more information on the internet.
