Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis Balch offers alternative healing methods and recommendations to attack the flu head-on by strengthening the immune system.
~ At the first sign of a cough, place one dropper of alcohol-free Echinacea and Goldenseal Extract in your mouth and hold it there for five to ten minutes. Repeat this every hour for 34 hours to stop the virus from multiplying.
~ Eucalyptus oil is beneficial for relieving congestion. Put 5 drops in a hot bath or 6 drops in a cup of boiling water, put a towel over your head and inhale the vapors.
~ Cayenne (capsicum) helps keep mucus flowing and aids in preventing congestion and headaches. Simply add a bit of cayenne powder to soups and other foods.
~ Fenugreek breaks up phlegm and mucus and slippery elm helps remove them from the body. Mix 1 tablespoon of slippery elm bark powder with 1 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup honey. Take 1 teaspoon of this mixture every 34 hours.
~ Consume plenty of fluids, especially fresh juices, herbal teas, soups and quality water to prevent dehydration and help flush out the body. To shorten the length of the flu, keep a liquid diet, emphasizing hot herbal teas and hot broth for one or two days.
~ Sleep and rest as much as possible.
~ Avoid dairy products, other mucus forming foods and sugar.
