Herbal / homeopathic preventives for H1N1 - Swine Flu.

Herbal / homeopathic preventives for H1N1 - Swine Flu.

The new Swine flu virus has high infectivity and low mortality.
That means it spreads very quickly and rarely kills.
The patient may die due to respiratory failure (pneumonia or suffocation).
So you need to have a strong respiratory system having high immunity.

Precautions:
- Refrain from food items like banana, curds, "shrikhand", ice-cream raw onion or any other you know that gives you cough / cold etc.
- Avoid excessive work fatigue or late nights or too much eating (ajeerna).
- Regular aerobic exercise and "pranayama" are useful.
- The common face masks have pores / holes of about 50 times the size of virus. So you can judge its effectivity.
- But a good mask is very useful. It is especially needed by he who is infected and is sneezing or coughing.

Found the following procedures to be useful to increase respiratory immunity.
Used them for at least five years and found them good.
No side effects.
No strong reactions. So its safe for you to try.
But don't over do the dose. In that case consult a proper physician. Otherwise you don't or shouldn't need a physician.

1) Take a plastic / glass bottle of 1 liter.
- Fill about 700ml with pure, clean water.
- Add ten drops of Homeopathic tincture, Gelsemium 30
Dose: one spoonful of this water twice daily on empty stomach. Shake well (at least ten times) before use.

2) Herbal mixture 1
- Take equal quantity of the three meds, (e.g. 20 tablets each)
- Triphala guggul, kanchanar Guggul, Chandraprabha vati crush into  powder, mix and keep in a bottle.
- Take one pinchful (about 100mg) of this powder once daily.

3) Herbal mixture 2
- Buy 50gm packet (powder) each of the following,
- Adulsa, Jyesthamadh, Beheda, LendiPimpli, Kantakari, TulsiPatra, mix together well and keep in airtight jar.
Dose: half to one spoonful (2-5gm) with some water

4) Daily intake of 2gm (4 tablets of 500mg) of vitamin C (Celin) (Ascorbic acid) is good for prevention of flu (Its quite safe in large doses - even "50gm" per day)

All of the above act as prophylactic (preventive) for flu.
In case you get some symptoms of flu, it is safe to increase dose of herbal mixtures by four times.
Severity of symptoms will require exact homeopathic medicine by a homeopathic doctor. Or even "Tamiflu".
So better take proper precautions like above.
