Suffering from a flu virus can put you out of action for days - often weeks. Help your body to rid itself of the virus more quickly using the best of herbal wisdom.

Often a bad cold can seem like flu, but whereas you can still function despite feeling ill if you have a cold, flu is more debilitating and can take several weeks to recover from. As flue is a virus, it won't respond to antibiotics or conventional medical treatment, but herbal remedies ease the symptoms and boost your immune system so that you can recover from the virus more quickly and avoid most of the unpleasant side-effects.

The onset of flu is usually experienced a aches and pains all over the body, a high fever, headache, sore throat and an inability to do anything but rest. Your body's reaction to the virus is to raise your temperature to burn it out of your system, so you need plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Herbal teas and infusions are nature's gift at this time.
