FLU AND HOMEOPATHY

Influenza or flu is an acute contagious infection, mainly targeting the respiratory tract, caused by the influenza virus. The common symptoms are fever, cold, cough, bodyache, headache, and weakness

Apart from medicines there are a few things you can do to arrest the problem and speed up recovery:

Steam and Gargles: Hot water steam and gargles are an effective way to soothe the irritated upper respiratory tract. Avoid adding anything to the water. Plain hot water steam is best. You may add salt to the water you use for gargling.

Water: Drink lots of water to hydrate the system. It also helps in mobilizing the cold out of the body. Taking steam will be of limited benefit if your body is not well-hydrated. Dehydration aggravates the fever and headache since the detox mechanism is compromised. Caffeine, alcohol, cola beverages should be avoided as they promote dehydration.

Rest: Any fever, any infection, any illness needs rest for the body to effectively repair itself.

Vitamin C: Taking 1-2 grams of vitamin C is helpful in improving immunity to colds and infections.

Extra Care: Washing hands regularly helps in preventing the virus spread through touch. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as far as possible. Wash your hands after a sneeze or cough; do cover your face with your hands or a handkerchief while sneezing and coughing to prevent spreading the virus.

ROLE OF HOMEOPATHY IN FLU: Homeopathy will not kill the flu virus, but it will improve the body’s response in eliminating it through its immune mechanism. The common flu remedies are Aconite, Bryonia, Eupatorium, Arsenic Alb, Rhus tox. It is advisable to consult your doctor before starting on any remedy since the choice of medicines depends on the symptoms you are having. Secondly, it is also important to rule out other disease conditions before commencing treatment. Homeopathy also has preventive remedies which are chosen according to the individual case. Homeopathy is very effective and without side-effects in treating the flu.

HOMEOPATHY AND CORPORATE HEALTH

The World Health Organization defines health as, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Homeopathy is an ideal health-care solution to many corporate related health issues. The stress and strain of work related burdens on the human economy is evident by the increasing incidences of serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension on one hand and headaches, allergies, cold and fevers on the other. Homeopathy covers physical as well as mental aspects of a person when treating the condition.

Health is maintained by a balance in four areas of life – nutrition, exercise, rest and attitude. When leading a corporate type of lifestyle, all four areas are compromised thereby inviting a host of medical problems sooner or later.

Irregular working hours, unhealthy eating habits, sleep deprivation, anxiety and stress all are a perfect recipe for a health disaster. The body has a threshold to withstand all this anti-health programming. After the baseline level is crossed, things just start accelerating and getting out of control. This leads to the development of what is termed as “lifestyle disorders.”

Homeopathy with lifestyle management offers an effective solution in managing a lot of health issues in corporate life. It is a safe, gentle and convenient method of treatment which can easily be incorporated in your daily routine by all. It can even be given with the regular allopathic mode of treatment. Faster and efficient results can be achieved if homeopathy is included as an additional or even the primary mode of treatment in many cases.

Homeopathy deals with the mind and the body and therefore encompasses a holistic approach towards any illness. Homeopathy treats the man as a whole. The treatment is individualized for each person and is therapeutic as well as preventive.

Corporate offices have a medical center with allopathic doctors on board on a part-time or full-time basis. Homeopathic doctors can also be of great service to companies, which have such setups, to address many health problems faced by employees.

Homeopathy could thus be used as an effective method of addressing many health concerns to improve productivity, performance, and activity in the office environment.

Our motto: Treat gently, safely, permanently.
