Homeopathy has been very successful in treating the symptoms of flu and the

Swine Flu pandemic of 2009 has been no exception. Homeopaths gather symptoms

from a large population and discern what is called a " genus epidemicus " . The

genus is the remedy, or group of remedies, with the symptoms of most people who

have a particular flu. These remedies are therefore the most likely remedies to

treat a particular flu strain.

The Swine Flu showed the typical symptoms of a regular flu with the exception of

high fever and chills. As for the genus epidemicus of this flu, there are a few

variations of this flu, so a few remedies have been required. This is much the

same as in the Flu Epidemic of 1918 when two remedies were used to great

advantage and a near 100% survival rate. The remedies mostly used in that flu

were Bryonia and Gelsemium.

Remedies that homeopaths have found useful in treating this 2009 flu season

include:

1. Ferrum Phos is always a good remedy to use in the first stages of flu. Ferrum

phos can be taken in the 30c potency. Even the 6x potency, sold as a tissue

salt, can stop a flu in its tracks. Ferrum phos can be alternated with Natrum

Sulf during the first days of the flu.

2.Dulcamara is useful at the onset of a high fever. The Dulcamara cough hurts

from muscular soreness. This flu is frequently brought on by cold, damp weather.

3. Nux vomica treats a flu with chills and pains in bones and joints. The

irritability and chills are very marked.

4. Gelsemium treats a low fever, and is also a good remedy if you have not been

well since the flu. Gelsemium patients experience weakness with shivering.

5. Arsenicum treats a burning fever that is accompanied with chills,

restlessness and anxiety. The person needing Arsenicum is usually thirsty but

only drinks small quantities at a time. They can have burning pains.

6. Bryonia is good for type of flu when the person does not want to move. The

mouth is dry but they are thirsty.

7. Rhus tox flu can be accompanied with aching bones, restlessness, and a red

tipped tongue. This is another remedy that is useful when the flu is brought on

by damp weather.

8. Belladonna treats a high fever that comes on suddenly. Other accompanying

symptoms of Belladonna include heat and redness.

9. Eupatorium perfoliatum experiences severe bone pains with great thirst.

10. Baptisia is a good remedy for flu, especially if it's centered in the

gastro-intestinal track. This remedy can be helpful in the early stages of the

flu. The person needing Baptisia can be weak, listless, and feel sore.

The above remedies cover the general conditions and treat the flu symptoms that

most have experienced so far. Try these homeopathic remedies to help speed your

recovery during the flu season of 2009.
