Falling prey to colds and flu is no
fun. Symptoms range from severe
headaches, pain, general weakness,
tiredness, nausea, lack of appetite,
intermittent fever, cough etc.
Flu can be considered as a severe
cold. Commonly prescribed antibiotics for colds and flu carry the
potential for serious side effects.
Antibiotics do not treat colds and flu
because they viral in nature and are
often overprescribed for both.
Naturopathic prevention and treatment for the flu virus includes herbal
medicine, vitamins and minerals,
foods as medicine and lifestyle
recommendations.
Most over-the-counter medications
only treat the symptoms of the cold
and flu virus. Natural remedies help
boost your immune system,
