Treatment of the disease only with home remedies or only as supportive therapy?
A flu can be very stressful for those affected and can lead to the strong feeling of exhaustion. Therefore it should not be underestimated in general. However, if bed rest and rest are strictly adhered to, the flu can be treated with home remedies as the sole therapy.
The symptoms usually subside within two weeks. If this is not the case, a doctor must be consulted to discuss further treatment. In certain situations, for example with children or during pregnancy, treatment with household remedies alone should only ever be given after consultation with a doctor.
Fast acting household remedies
Influenza often leads to acute symptoms.Accordingly, the need for fast-acting home remedies is correspondingly great. This includes first and foremost physical protection and sufficient sleep. Drinking enough water and tea is also very important and can, for example, quickly lead to an improvement of sore throats. For acute pain, simple painkillers such as paracetamol can be used. This also has a regulating effect on the body temperature and thus leads to a quick relief of symptoms.
When do I have to go to the doctor?
Even though influenza is often accompanied by very pronounced symptoms, it is not always necessary to consult a doctor. With consistent treatment of the disease, as well as bed rest and rest, the flu can subside on its own within a few weeks. However, if this improvement does not occur, a doctor should be consulted.
The occurrence of influenza in the context of pregnancy, as well as in children or elderly people, is also always a reason for a visit to a doctor. In case of fever, the temperature should be checked regularly. If there is an acute sharp rise in temperature, a doctor should always be consulted.
Which alternative therapy can still help?
A possible alternative form of therapy for influenza is the so-called Sanum therapy. It contains various possible preparations, which are mostly used in the form of solutions and are rubbed into the skin. For example, the combination of Quentakehl D5 and Notakehl D5 is used.
These preparations are applied twice a day with ten drops. Sanuvis can also be used. Twenty drops up to three times a day are suitable here.
Orthomolecular medicine is also a possible alternative for the treatment of influenza. Here, vitamin C in sufficient quantity is of particular importance for the body. Therefore ten grams of vitamin C per day are recommended.
The intake should be recommended in the morning. Vitamin D is also an important component for the body in case of flu. It should be considered that by the increased admission of Vitamin D also the mirror should be adapted by Vitamin K. Other orthomolecular medical active substances that can be used in the case of a flu are colostrum, zinc and probiotics.
