SWINE FLU (H1N1 FLU) AND Homeopathic approach to H1N1 Flu:

Lately my office has been receiving many panicking phone calls about the H1N1 or Swine Flu epidemic. This current Flu outbreak in humans known as “Swine Flu” is due to a strain of Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which is analogous to the Flu Pandemic that had occurred in 1918. Swine Flu is a respiratory illness of pigs activated by contamination with the virus that can seldom encroach on humans. Homeopathy was successful in treating the Swine flu contagion of 1918 and can provide an outcome to questions about the 2009 Swine Flu.

Causes of H1N1 Flu:

•             A subdued immune system.

•             Airborne.

•             Being in close proximity with an infected person.

•             Unhygienic measures.

Symptoms of H1N1 Flu:

•             Fever with chills.

•             Runny nose, cough, sore throat.

•             Headache and body ache.

•             Fatigue with irritability.

•             Lack of appetite.

•             Vomiting and diarrhea.

•             Muscle and joint pains.

•             Difficulty breathing.

•             Disorientation.

•             Pneumonia if untreated.

•             Abortion in pregnant women.

•             Death due to respiratory failure in very rare cases if untreated or in patients with other existing medical conditions.

Homeopathic approach to H1N1 Flu:

Conventional medicine has no specific treatment for Swine flu. Conventional drugs can help sheathe the symptoms for a few hours and wait for the virus to run its course. Whereas, Homeopathic medicines can in fact fight the virus. There are several Homeopathic remedies that can swiftly improve the symptoms and restore a state of health. A Homeopathic remedy will stimulate the immune system by enhancing one’s ability to fight an infection, thus making an individual more capable to effectively overcome a virus so that the illness can be resolved as rapidly and with as little discomfort as possible. In addition, Homeopathy can prevent a Swine flu patient from developing post-viral complications. The Homeopathic remedies are prepared from natural substances, which have been diluted and potentized many times, so that when they are used according to the Homeopathic principles, they stimulate the body's own defense system to move towards a healthier state without causing any side effects. Homeopathic treatment enhances resistance to infection and is safe, natural and effective for both children and adults.

Aconitum napellus. This medicine can be helpful at the first sign of flu symptoms or after exposure to the flu. It can reverse the symptoms of the flu within the first few hours of onset.

Gelsemium sempervirens. A helpful medicine in flu syndromes marked by weakness, muscle aches, and lack of thirst. This was one of the most helpful medicines in the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918.

Bryonia alba. This medicine is indicated in cases of the flu marked by aching in joints, immobility due to pain, frontal headache, a dry, painful cough, and thirst for large quantities of cold water.

Eupatorium perfoliatum. This medicine is helpful for cases of flu accompanied by severe bone pain. Symptoms include severe restlessness, insomnia, and thirst for cold water.

Arsenicum album. So far, this medicine is the most commonly indicated remedy for the H1N1 virus outbreak of early 2009. Symptoms include severe fatigue, high fever, headache, and gastrointestinal upset.

Self – care measures to prevent H1N1 Flu and during the Flu:

•             Do not panic.

•             Wash hands frequently with soap and water.

•             Cough and sneeze into a tissue.

•             Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

•             Stay away from people who are sick and from crowded places.

•             Do not go to school or work if you feel sick.

•             Stay well hydrated.

•             Take enough rest.

•             Eat a healthy and nutritious diet.

•             Fresh Citrus juices give you the antioxidants and Vitamin C to boost your immune system.

Hence, Homeopathy will assist in shortening each phase of the H1N1 Flu and if taken constitutionally, can prevent the ailment altogether. Hence, for a safe, natural, effective answer for H1N1 Flu consider Homeopathy
