What are the best flu remedies or medicines that can help you recover faster? At the end of the holiday break, I came down with the flu! I didn’t realize it was the flu at the time, I thought was my typical respiratory/“allergy” reaction to gluten exposure (inadvertent). After speaking to many of my patients who’ve also suffered from this year’s flu, I realized that I had, in fact, suffered the same.
Concerned about my family and patients coming down with the flu, I watched a video from Austin Homeopath Lizzie Martinez (see link at bottom of page). I appreciated some of her suggestions and thought I’d pass some of them along, as well as, a couple of my own. Below you will find a list of homeopathic & herbal flu treatments to help you recover faster and hopefully have you feeling better in record time. Most of the homeopathic flu remedies mentioned below can be found locally at Central Market and Whole Foods or online at Amazon.com.
