Cold and flu outbreaks are most prominent in the fall and winter seasons.  The weather is changing, getting cooler; our immune systems may drop causing us to catch colds more quickly.

Homeopathy plays a very important role in treating and preventing colds and flu’s.  Flu, vaccinations are controversial and questionable regarding its effectiveness causing many people to seek alternative ways to help them during the flu season. 

When you feel a flu coming on, put on your “health cap”.  Avoid “junk” food such as sweets, soda’s, fried fatty foods, alcohol and anything with a high glucose content.  These items depress your immune system.  Keep your system well high hydrated with water and increase your intake of Zinc and Vitamin C.  Exercising regularly is also important in keeping your immune system strong.
