The information below is for the treatment of FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS.
In the flu epidemic of 1918, homeopathic doctors lost only 1% of their patients to the flu compared to a 30-40% loss of those receiving allopathic care. Influenza is an acute viral infection of the respiratory tract. Symptoms include runny nose, cough, fever, headache, muscular aches and a general feeling of malaise. Match the symptoms to the remedies listed below. Always consult a licensed medical professional.
THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST MORE THAN 3 DAYS, CONSULT A LICENSED PRACTITIONER. PREGNANT OR NURSING WOMEN SHOULD CONSULT THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE USING ANY REMEDY.
FLU IS CAPABLE OF TAKING LIVES. DO NOT HESITATE TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL, MEDICAL TREATMENT ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNG AND THE ELDERLY.
