The flu, that seasonal illness that makes us all dread winter. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent and treat it. And one of them is the sale of homeopathic remedies in online pharmacies.
Indeed, homeopathic remedies can be a great help in boosting your immune system and preventing viruses such as the flu. And if you do catch the flu, the homeopathic remedies available on Soin-et-Nature can also help relieve symptoms such as fever, cough and headache.
The flu is a condition that is not necessarily caused by the influenza virus, but by other respiratory viruses that are particularly virulent during the autumn and winter months. Like all viruses, they spread very easily. Simple contact with a "contaminated" object or hand, for example, can be enough to transmit the virus. Similarly, the saliva and nasal secretions of a sick person are very rich in viruses. All it takes is for someone to spit or sneeze in the vicinity of another person, and that person could potentially become infected.
Influenza-like illness generally occurs with the change of season and the onset of winter, and is a severe cold of mainly viral origin (parainfluenza virus, adenovirus or coronavirus).
The symptoms of the flu are very similar to those of influenza or other acute viral infectious diseases:
Although the effects are more marked than for a cold, they are less so than for the real flu, and usually last only a few days. However, some natural remedies are highly effective in reducing flu symptoms.
To prevent flu all winter long, we recommend INFLUENZINUM 30 CH; 3 granules once a week.
If someone close to you is suffering from the flu and you want to prevent yourself, you can take one dose of oscillococcinum per week.
Online pharmacy sales of these homeopathic medicines are an excellent way of obtaining them quickly and easily, without having to leave home. What's more, you avoid the queues at the pharmacy and can compare the different products available.
What's more, online sales of homeopathic medicines are completely legal and safe. The products sold online are the same as those you'll find in a physical pharmacy, and are approved by the relevant health authorities.
You can take 3 granules, three times a day, of one or more of the above strains, depending on your symptoms:
For aches and pains associated with fever, take Pyrogenium 9 CH and Rhus toxicodron 3 granules each three times a day.
So don't hesitate, opt for homeopathic medicines to prevent and treat the flu. You'll be able to get through the winter without worrying about flu epidemics.
The flu vaccination campaign began on October 18. This seasonal epidemic generally occurs in mainland France between November and April. As Santé Publique France points out, "Based on historical data on flu epidemics since 1984, the Sentinelles network estimates that between 788,000 and 4.6 million people consult a doctor for influenza-like illness during flu epidemics. Between 25% and 50% of these consultations concern children under the age of 15.
Influenza viruses are essentially of two types: A and B. While influenza A viruses circulate in many animal species, influenza B viruses mainly affect human beings. Influenza viruses are characterized by a high degree of genetic variability:
- either by "drift" during seasonal epidemics, which can lead to a drop in vaccine effectiveness over the course of a season ;
- or by "shift". This phenomenon only concerns type A viruses, and explains the emergence of new viruses that could trigger an influenza pandemic.
In an article published in February 2021 in the journal Pharmaceutics, three Japanese researchers reviewed the immunological mechanisms of action of commonly used vaccines and adjuvants. Considering that the gut microbiota is one of the factors influencing the efficacy of vaccines and adjuvants, they concluded that "stimulation by gut microbes is necessary for innate immune cells to develop optimal immune responses.
n fact, stimulation derived from the gut microbiota has an impact not only on local but also on systemic immune responses to vaccination, suggesting that modulation of the gut microbiota could be a new approach to improve vaccine efficacy." They conclude by pointing out that "the intervention of prebiotics and probiotics has the potential to improve vaccines - particularly against the influenza virus."
All advice relating to the use of homeopathy is mainly based on the book"L'homéopathie de A à Z" by Dr. Jean-Louis Masson, published by Marabout, 2003. The advice you find on this page is the result of research carried out by our pharmacists using medical literature, and does not depend on the Boiron laboratories. What's more, this advice in no way replaces the advice of your homeopathic doctor. It cannot replace a medical consultation. You should never interrupt a treatment in progress, nor change the dosage yourself.
