The Influenza A virus which is the virus causing flu is constantly mutating making it difficult for scientists to come up with a permanent solution to eradicate the virus altogether. Some of us are lucky and get through winter time without getting a cold but others get recurrent flu during this time which can debilitate them right through winter. In most cases it would start with a virus and if your immune system is not strong enough to fight it off, it may develop into a secondary bacterial infection. There is another way to solve this problem, and that is to concentrate on making the immune system as strong as possible so that when you are targeted by the virus you can fight it off. This is where Homeopathic medicine is helpful by assisting the immune system to gently, with no harmful effects to your body, but also powerfully strengthen the immune system. Homeopathy is an alternative medicinal system that was discovered in 1783 by Dr Sameul Hahneman. It has been with us for many centuries and has time and again proven itself to be effective and has helped millions of people over the decades. There will be a Homeopathic Flu Remedy available at the clinic from 13 May which consists of:
· Selected ingredients targeting the typical symptoms of flu – fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches and respiratory symptoms like a sore throat and coughing.
