Flu Fatigue and How to Overcome It

Flu fatigue, along with fever and body aches, is the primary symptom indicating the flu. It means it can be very hard to operate normally as all you want to do is to lie in bed.

Your family might think you’re making it up, and give you no sympathy. But flu fatigue is very real and very debilitating.

I remember waking up one morning, with utter prostration. It took me all my strength to get myself together to get out of bed. There were some things I had to attend to, before returning to bed, but I had to sit down and recover every few minutes.

The trouble with fatigue is that no-one else can see it. It you had a large wound, or a broken bone, people could see that and would make allowances for you. But fatigue, like pain, is unseen.

But very real.

There are several homeopathic remedies which will melt away the fatigue as if you had never had it. But you might need some help in working out which one.

If you are already seeing a homeopath, then they are likely to help you out over the phone, as the last thing you’ll want to do (or should do) is drive to their clinic.

If you are not already consulting a homeopath, one may help you over the phone, but most like to see you, at least for one consultation before prescribing for you.

Although I loosely put my malady down to flu fatigue, I didn’t have any other flu symptoms. Actually the malady label doesn’t make one jot of difference with homeopathy. Your unique and individual symptoms are much more important.

Feeling so drained, even though homeopathy is my profession, it still took me a few hours to work out what I needed. That gives you some idea of just how fatigued flu can make you.

Once I had taken a dose, I fell asleep. This is always an excellent sign in any energetic treatment, as it means your body has relaxed - it’s no longer trying to fight the problem. Something else has come in to the rescue.

When I woke up, I took another dose.

I started to move around and do simple tasks. A couple of hours later, I took another dose, all the while my energy returning. By the evening I was back to normal, with no other symptoms.

That was pretty impressive to experience.

You can have the same result if you use homeopathic remedies for your flu fatigue, or any other problem. You can consult with a professional homeopath and/or use some common home prescribing remedies. Either way your health will benefit in leaps and bounds.

Swine Flu Prevention - Affordable and Natural

Swine flu prevention can be easy and inexpensive, both in monetary terms and in terms of time off work because of the flu.

The swine flu is simply a slight variation of normal seasonal flu. But all seasonal flus vary. So there’s is really no difference between swine flu and ordinary flu. With no difference in death rates, either.

I don’t know about you, but I love the winter. Maybe that’s because I’ve spent a few winters in the UK. You know all about cold in Scotland - the horizontal snow blizzards, toes you can’t feel, frozen car locks and windscreens, only a few hours of daylight and even then there’s no warmth in the sun.

No, give me southern Australian winters any day. The nights are cold enough to enjoy a fire, the days are often sunny and we only lose a couple of hours or so day light.

But even here, we tend to suffer from winter ailments. Apart from coughing and sneezing all over our loved ones, we can feel terrible from body aches and fatigue,

And time off work is great if you have an understanding boss, but mums cannot take time off child care and we know that not all bosses are understanding.

If you been looking for swine flu prevention that is natural, effective and doesn’t cost the earth you’re in the right place.

You may never have heard of homeopathy.
That is absolutely OK.

You may think homeopathy doesn’t work.
You don’t have to believe in it, for it to work.

You may have tried homeopathy in the past and it didn’t work for you, so why would you try it another time?
Do things in life always work for you?

They don’t for me. When things don’t work for me, I figure I have just got to find out a bit more.
Which is what I’m now doing for you, so you don’t have to go searching.

No, I’m not going to bore you with diet (although that is extremely important and you should make sure you eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies....and cut out the junk food......and drink plenty.....no, NOT canned or soft drinks....and keep the sugar down.....and.....).

I’m not even going to bore you with exercise and sunlight (although these are just as essential to swine flu prevention). You might not be too impressed if I suggested you go for a half hour jog, when you feel like death warmed up.

Just make sure you do get outside doing some form of exercise every day during the winter (and summer, come to that).

You may recall all the media attention on bird flu, that flus originate from birds, so it is no surprise to find that....

Many years ago, French homeopaths developed a homoeopathic remedy called Anas barb made from the internal organs of the Barberry duck. It’s also called Oscillococcinum, or Oscillo for short.

Unusual for homeopathy, it’s only available in a 200c potency (or strength).

Dosage size is one pillule (very small pills). Instruction on the bottle may say more, which is fine.

Dosage frequency is once a fortnight as winter approaches and all through the winter.

And if you feel a cold coming on, take it more often. How often? Well that depends on the severity of the symptoms and your susceptibility to colds. The golden rule, is to dose when you feel you’re going down and stop when you’re coming up. And that can be hours or days apart.

However, don’t keep taking it if you don’t feel any benefit after a few doses.

In the unlikely event that it does you no good, neither will it do you harm.

You can obtain it from any homoeopathic pharmacy or health shop or pharmacist who sell a range of homoeopathic remedies. Alternatively, you can purchase it from many homeopaths.

Using this swine flu prevention, you’ll not run the potential of side effects, neurological damage or even a mild dose of the flu.
