My new friend Shari Lyons told me about this natural Homopathic remedy for the flu. I picked some up at the Good Apple. (2 pack special $16.99). I do not think it hurts to have a variety of measures in your medicine cubboard. I am greatful to have my oils, but...I may feel prompted to give this a try. Not everyone will react the same.
From Shari - "In keeping with the flu season theme today, I want to share my families secret for never experiencing more than 24-48 hours with the flu. This is a product that is given by prescription in Europe for treatment of the flu and has absolutely no side effects. It has worked the 2 times I can remember having the flu in our home in the last 8 years, and it has knocked out the flu in no more than 2 days. But I have recommended it to many who also experienced the same results! When the bird flu was so publicized I had a pretty good stock onhand and ready for the fight...luckily it has a 5 year shelf life so we are stocked and ready for whatever comes of the H1N1 "pandemic".
It can be found at just about any grocery store, sprouts, walmart, walgreens, any many more places. Click here for a $2.00 off coupon!
Here is a little more info from their website:
Clinical Studies on Oscillococcinum
Oscillococcinum has been shown in clinical trials to help reduce the severity and shorten the duration of flu symptoms.1,2
Oscillococcinum works rapidly, with 63 percent of patients showing "complete resolution" or "clear improvement" at 48 hours.*1 In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, the recovery rate within 48 hours of treatment was significantly greater in the group that received the active drug than in the placebo group.
Unlike other flu medicines, Oscillococcinum does not cause side effects, such as drowsiness, and has no known or reported drug interactions. Oscillococcinum is regulated as a drug by the FDA and can be purchased at pharmacies, natural food stores and supermarkets.
Make sure to keep Oscillococcinum on hand because it works best when taken early. Take Oscillococcinum at the first signs of flu-like symptoms.
Good Things to Do if You Get Flu.
1. Keep Oscillococcinum® readily available.
Oscillococcinum (Oscillo®), one of the world's most popular natural flu medicines, can reduce the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms when taken at the onset of symptoms. It is safe for both children (older than 2 years of age) and adults.
2. Stay hydrated.
When you are feeling under the weather, drinking extra fluids prevents dehydration caused by fever, loosens mucus and keeps your throat moist. Warm liquids are preferable, and there is some evidence that inhaling steam early in the course of a cold or flu may reduce the spread of viruses in your upper respiratory tract.
3. Listen to your body.
If you do come down with a cold or flu, take it easy. Spending excessive energy steals valuable resources from your immune system. Even attempting to perform normal activities at work or school may be too much. Besides, if you believe you're coming down with flu, probably the best thing you can do for friends and family is to not expose them unnecessarily to the virus.
4. Stay away from sugar and processed, foods, especially fried, and junk foods. Grandma was right by cooking up a homemade batch of healthy chicken noodle soup with plenty of vegi's.
