Not everyone exposed to viruses will develop the flu. Susceptibility depends largely on the strength of an individual's immune system. Your immune system is your body's main defence system. It is well designed to protect your body against foreign attackers such as bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately, most people's immunity is not at its optimal level due to many factors including poor dietary habits, nutritional deficiencies, stress and inadequate sleep.
Homeopathic medicines can activate and support your immune system to fight against the cold and flu. Both the following preparations have been used internationally for over 35 years due to their significant efficacy and safety.
Gripp-Heel is a homeopathic preparation that stimulates your defence system and is effective for both viral and bacterial infections. Its therapeutic benefits have been shown in many studies.
Engystol is another homeopathic preparation that has been established in research as having anti-viral effect against the flu virus. It is effective in prevention and treatment (greatly reducing the duration and severity of the symptoms) of the flu.
Visit your naturopathic doctor for more information. The two preparations can be combined and injected intramuscularly. They are also available in tablet or liquid form, which can be effective for children instead of injections.
The combination of the two medicines provides you with all the above benefits minus side effects or interactions. It is safe for the entire family.
