Flu is a virus - you can prevent it but once you have it, there is no cure. To help you feel better you can drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, take vitamin C and/or use a humidifier (an electric device that puts water into the air). Talk to your Pharmacist or doctor about what medicines may also relief symptoms. If you are normally a fit and healthy person, time and your own body's defence mechanisms will cure you.

Whatever ways you may try, please see a doctor if you have fever before embarking on any suggestions you may receive. To get rid of a cough fast, avoid cold drink and also things that will leave remnant along the lining of the throat, like groundnuts, messy fruit drinks like fresh orange(the fibre will stick on the lining of the throat which will make you cough).After every single cough, drink a gulp of water to smoothen the lining and push down whatever is causing the cough especially the phlem or mucus, if you cant spit it out. The phlems is the main thing that make the cough worst. If everytime you cough and there is mucus or phlem, try your best to spit it out.and immediately drink warm water.When you go to bed at night, standby a flask of warm water so that should you cough during sleep, get up and drink some warm water. It helps to bring down the coughing.Another important thing is never sleep with the fan switched on in front of you becos the wind can also make your cough worst., just turn the fan away from you if you need it on.As for the flu, as long as you dont have fever, it should go off in a weeks time, but if you are on medication, take them religiously if you want to get well soon.

Drinking fluids helps to replenish water you've lost through vomiting, sneezing, coughing, sweating, and other symptoms. The fastest way to recovery is to get plenty of rest, as the flu will fatigue you because your body uses all available energy to combat the viral infection. You may have loss of appetite, but force yourself to eat something so that you won't fatigue even more. Take some Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost your immune system so that you don't get sick again afterwards.

One of the three major components of a theistic system of self-healing developed by Stanley Burroughs and expounded by him in Healing for the Age of Enlightenment (1976). Lemon cleansing is a mono-diet variation wherein one ingests daily, for ten to 40 or more days, nothing except 60 to 120 ounces of a drink that consists of lemon (or lime) juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper (red pepper), and water. ...

I have never heard of this herb. Check your spelling at www.dictionary.com.\nI have some information for you though... \n\nHome Treatment \n\nIf you have influenza, you can expect the illness to go away on its own in about 7 to 10 days. In the meantime, you can take steps to feel better:\n\nGet extra rest. Bed rest can help you feel better. It will also help you avoid spreading the virus to others. \nDrink plenty of fluids to replace those lost from fever. Fluids also ease a scratchy throat and keep nasal mucus thin. Hot tea with lemon, water, fruit juice, and soup are all good choices. \nIf fever is uncomfortable, take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to lower it. You may also sponge your body with lukewarm water to reduce fever. Do not use cold water or ice. Lowering the fever will not make your symptoms go away faster, but it may make you more comfortable. \nTo relieve body aches and headache, take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Do not take aspirin if you are younger than 20 unless your doctor tells you to do so. Also, aspirin and ibuprofen can upset your stomach, while acetaminophen does not. \nTry a decongestant or nasal spray if your main symptom is a stuffy nose. Look for a single-ingredient decongestant that contains phenylephrine. If nasal drainage is thick, a decongestant that contains guaifenesin may help keep it thin and draining. Do not use medicated nasal sprays or drops more often than directed and not for longer than 3 days. \nBreathe moist air from a hot shower or from a sink filled with hot water to help clear a stuffy nose. \nAvoid antihistamines. They do not treat flu symptoms and may make nasal drainage thicker. \nIf the skin around your nose and lips becomes sore from repeated rubbing with tissues, apply a bit of petroleum jelly to the area. Using disposable tissues that contain lotion also may help. \nUse cough drops or plain, hard candy to help ease coughing. \nTake a nonprescription cough medicine that contains dextromethorphan if you develop a dry, hacking cough. Some products contain a high percentage of alcohol. Use them with caution. \nElevate your head at night with an extra pillow if coughing keeps you awake. \nAvoid smoking and breathing secondhand smoke. This is good advice any time, but it is especially important when you have a respiratory infection like a cold or the flu. \nCall your doctor if:\n\nYour symptoms improve but then seem to get worse again. \nYou develop signs of a bacterial infection, such as a new or worse cough that produces yellow, green, rust-colored, or bloody mucus; persistent fever, ear pain, sore throat, sinus pain, or productive cough; or nasal drainage that changes from clear to colored after 7 to 10 days.

That really depends on your medical history, demographics and statistics, (drug use, body composition and size, male or female, current location and heritage locale), AND whether this is actually a cold virus or a bacterial infection, simply an opportunistic mold allergy/fungus overgrowth or any combination of those. In any case, your immune system is compromised. Here are some things you can do right away, as well as some things you can start a bit later.\n\nFirst, TRY THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE. \n-SPICY FOODS/herbs such as fresh SAGE, OREGANO, GARLIC, CAYENNE, GREEN ONIONS, CILANTRO & JALAPENO'S IN BROTH,  HOT PEPPERS, Cardamom, Ginger (in food or in hot water), cloves, CHAI TEA (with soymilk only);\n-CURRY is a grrreat temporary remedy!\n\nHERBALS:\n-CHAMOMILE TEA is a good anti-inflammatory, and with Peppermint helps start the detox process (headache or stomach ache?) and makes you smile nicer too. \n-Hot Water/Lemon/Honey will help with bacteria and clear the alimentary canal for better absorption of nutrients. (Stevia instead of Honey if you are vegan, but then no bacterial help other than system flushing)\n\nIf you have access or a friend, FRESH HERBAL TEA of whole chamomile flowers, peppermint leaf, marshmallow root and licorice root with a little slippery elm bark is good. Drink several cups, take it in a thermos to work - yes, you must drink and pee! This is a good tea most of the time, but DO NOT use !! Licorice!! long term or with high blood pressure or any heart condition. Stop if you have bloating.\n\nGARGLE with MYRRH\n\nA quicker herbal fix is in a shot glass with HERBAL TINCTURES - you can mix it with juice, preferably low sugar content like POM or cranberry (not apple/orange/banana). \n\nHerbs to use: \nCAUTION: DO NOT MIX HERBS WITH OTHER MEDICINE AND TAKE CARE WHEN MIXING HERBALS!!  i.e., meadowsweet should not generally be mixed with skullcap, damiana, kava, hops  or other strong mood altering substances. \n\nSHOTS: \n-Wild Cherry/Petasites (cough expectorant), Willow Meadowsweet (aspirin), Bayberry Bark (dries phlegm), Usnea (staph/strep/bacteria), Coltsfoot (mild calming, anti-inflammatory, expectorant)\n\nLater: \n\nSHOTS: \n-Spilanthes/Usnia (for fungal infection, candida, stuff that slows your system down\n\n-Eyebright/Nettle (for sinusitus, rhinitis, hayfever), Astragalus, Dandelion/Milk Thistle (liver/gall bladder detoxing).\nOR\n-Red Clover/Stillingia (helps detox a sluggish lymphatic system and metabolism - rids body of metabolic and catabolic wastes)\n\nDROPS: Oil of Oregano (no data for this, just heard about it)\n\nSo that is more than enough, ya? E-Me if you want to get more specific, ok? \n\nFeel Better, Reiki On!

Usually the flu has to run it's course, but you can treat the symptoms with things like Advil, caugh meds, etc. while boosting your immune system [to fight the flu/cold] with Airborne, Zicam and any Zinc lozenges you can find. These products work together wonderfully, however it's BEST to start them AS SOON AS you even THINK you're comming down with something or before you are going to be around people you either know are sick or think may be sick.\n\nYou can also BUILD your immune system up by taking Echinacea, Goldenseal and Vitamin C. Just remember that the Echinacia & Goldenseal are best started about a month before flu/cold season starts and quit taking them just after the flu/cold season ends. You CAN O.D. on vitamins so take no more than 200% RDA daily or 500% RDA [ONLY] while sick. Also, if you increase your intake of ONE vitamin, your body will want an increase of most other vitamins.\n\nLike Vitamin C you can O.D. on ANY vitamin ESPECIALLY the "Oil Soluable" ones: A, D, E and K. The oil soluable vitamins build up in the body and are metabolized very slowly. All the other vitamins are called "Water soluable". They are metabolized and eliminated quicker but you can still take too much of them at one time.\n\nBTW: If your flu symptoms don't lessen in a week or so...OR...they get worse, GET to the DR, *FAST*!!! True Flu is NOTHING to play with.\n\nEdit: And YES good old fashioned HOME MADE Chicken Soup has been clinically proven to help speed recovery time of colds/flu.<forgot about that one!...blushing, LOL!

Other than washing the hands frequently(this is a must in any case) you can take also other protective measures: open the windows at work or at school, because even if there is a person having flu and you can't avoid it, fresh air that will enter in the room will help to the diluition of the pathogen.\nIt will be helpful also to take orange juice, that contains vit. C and if you can't there are food supplements containing vit. C + Zn in the pharmacies.So, ask your pharmacist about their action.\nHoney, is also a natural antibiotic of our body.\n\nKaterina

Yes - sometimes! When you have a very bad cold - add a raw egg, some pepper & slightly warm rum - take a quaff - you are cured!\nWhen you have small cuts, minor bruises etc pour some alcohol over it - it heals fast!\nStomach aches - a peg or two helps!\n\nBut I advise you to use this only in minor infections or ailments.
