Prevention
Prevention should be aimed at maintaining a healthy immune system. Keeping physical, mental, and emotional stress under control is important, as chronic stress lowers our body’s natural resistance to infection. Get plenty of sleep, drink enough liquid to keep the respiratory mucosa moist and healthy, exercise daily for fifteen minutes or longer, and try to establish a sense of calmness throughout the day. Eating four or five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day goes a long way towards warding off Swine flu
Washing your hands frequently is at least as important as a healthy diet and lifestyle as viruses can linger on door handles. Recent research indicated that washing your hands could radically reduce your chances of picking up infections. Encourage your kids to wash hand especially when others are sneezing around them.
Herbal treatment for Swine Flu
Katie the medical herbalist would aim to support the immune system and keep it in optimum condition before there is a pandemic in this country.
There are also some very useful herbal anti virals and immune modulating herbs that can be blended together to make a herbal tincture that would help to support you.
Herbs such as Astragalus, Echinacea, St jonhs wort, Wild indigo, sage and thyme may all be useful.
However it is best to contact your local herbalist who can make up a prescription right for you.
