HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA
For every negative event there is a positive response 10000 times stronger. In order to solve a problem, however, one needs to understand it fully in the light of truth. Within the scope of humanity’s hindrances in overcoming the three great hurdles to happiness, namely, sickness, poverty and injustice, a solution based on Natural law exists for every aspect of these cardinal difficulties. People have an inherent protective vitality that resists disease. Homoeopathy brings together the vitality in medicines that resonate with that vital force within struggling to overcome disease, giving a strong impetus to the vital force to prevail over all our difficulties.
Homoeopathic medical management is safe, effective and natural. It has proven to be effective in the treatment of infectious epidemics over the past 200 years. And more so, doctors and patients alike have experienced its health restoring powers in treating the complications that linger in people; for example, the debility that sometimes follows after an attack of flu.
The conventional management of influenza is to offer vaccines which may protect against the two or four likely strains of influenza virus; the manufactured vaccine is given to communities to boost herd immunity. Therefore, if a patient should suffer flu despite having been vaccinated against flu, the reason given by the doctor is that the patient may have caught a germ that is not covered by the vaccine.
The homoeopathic approach is to treat with a medicine chosen according to each individual. No two people are alike, there is no such thing as a standard human. Whereas the vaccine focuses on the germ, the homoeopathic physician focuses on each individual patient fortifying the innate vitality to overcome any disease.
At some point in time, we have all experienced general symptoms of influenza, catarrhal runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, body ache, extreme tiredness, fever. These symptoms are not treated by vaccines. The usual advice is to stay in bed, take plenty of fluids and paracetamol or an anti-inflammatory drug, to wait till symptoms subside. This advice does not help people overcome complications that sometimes follow on after the acute phase of influenza. Homoeopathy can support patients overcome lingering symptoms after flu.
The three types of complications I have seen after the flu are related to:
digestion (nausea, vomiting, loose stools)
nervous (general weakness, memory loss, depression, and neuralgia pains),
respiratory (persistent cough, difficulty breathing never regained lost health after an episode of flu, sometimes for many years).
Just as influenza spreads to afflict nations, similarly influenza influences the entire human frame. There are many instances of people suffering prolonged after-effects and complications that lead to significant changes to health that, if left untreated, become chronic. Post-influenza complications affect every aspect of a person’s life from losing one’s job and income, to strained relationships and generally feeling unwell since the flu and not being able to regain lost health
