This is why the dual preventive and restorative powers of homeopathy are so useful.
“When we use homeopathic medicines, in addition to relieving symptoms, by stimulating the body’s defenses, we also increase the effectiveness of the defenses against viruses.

Successfully combating the most severe forms of the flu requires specific actions, specifically aimed at alleviating bothersome symptoms and avoiding complications. Dr. Kajka explains that in order to respect the recovery of biological processes, it is important to rest, constantly rehydrate, eat light meals, maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity in the environment, and avoid drafts.
“It’s important to understand that all the symptoms we feel during a cold or flu are the result of a battle between bacteria and our immune system, meaning that if we had a stronger immune system, we would The body contributes so that it can quickly resolve the viral infection.”
To boost immunity and quickly restore homeostasis, people suffering from severe flu can also turn to homeopathy as it is safe, effective, and simple in dosage and administration.

Doctors note that starting at age 2, the recommended dose of Oscillococcinum is one tube sublingually taken weekly if used for prevention, and one tube every 12 hours to treat these respiratory conditions until symptoms resolve. He emphasized that there are studies that “demonstrate a reduction in symptoms (48 hours) after treatment with Oscillococcus aureus and, in terms of prevention, a reduction in the prevalence of respiratory infections in people with recurrent influenza infections.”
Nursing measures
Stopping cold and flu infections is in everyone’s hands. The following simple but powerful actions recommended by Dr. Kajika can contribute to personal and global well-being:
- Cover your coughs and sneezes into your forearm to prevent the spread of viruses, including influenza, which is spread through saliva droplets in the air. Using a mask is ideal if you experience any symptoms. Additionally, you must avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Frequent hand washing with soap and water is important to remove pathogens. There is no need to use antibacterial gel.
- Given the development of influenza-related symptoms, preventive isolation is recommended to prevent the infection from multiplying. It is best to limit contact, especially with high-risk groups (pregnant women, children, the elderly, people with chronic diseases, and the immunosuppressed), as they are more susceptible to complications from respiratory infections.
- If you have any flu-related symptoms, please stay home to avoid disturbing those in your family, social, school and work environment.
- Use medications that help strengthen your immune system and enhance its response (such as Oscillococcus aureus) and reduce the likelihood of the flu or cold getting worse.
“Sometimes, influenza can be complicated by other types of bacterial infections or aggravate a patient’s pre-existing conditions. The most common complications are otitis media, sinusitis, asthma attacks, pneumonia, laryngitis, and bronchitis,” Bois, Colombia Long’s medical manager said. Of course, if flu symptoms get worse or don’t improve, it’s important to see your doctor.
