HERBALIST PERSPECTIVE
FLU THE COOP

The Flu can have a very negative affect on the body with a variety of symptoms: including aches and pains, fever and chills, coughs, body heaviness, stomach and intestinal distress, exhaustion, and general malaise. It can also affect our psyche with negative thinking, impatience and depression. This formula is effective for the relief of a variety of flu symptoms. It can also be taken with Viral Resolve.

~ Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia and purpurea): probably the best known, most effective, and widely used herb for relieving the symptoms of colds and any viral or bacterial infection. Echinacea is most successful when taken aggressively at the very first sign of cold or infection. It enhances immune system resistance to infection, stimulates wound healing and reduces inflammation. Echinacea increases white blood cell counts and activity. It is mild enough to take often in relatively large doses without side effects.

~ Elder Berry (Sambucus nigra): is the most useful herb for counteracting flu symptoms. A more recent addition to the herbal remedy chest in this country, it has been used for relieving cold and flu symptoms in Europe for many years. Elder Berry will soothe sore throats and coughs and relieve catarrh and chills. It is often made into jams, cordials and wines, and is high in vitamins A and C.

~ Boneset Herb (Eupatorium perfoliatum): is a specific for deep aching pain in muscles, bones, fever and chills which accompany influenza. It offsets immune deficiencies, having been used with success in flu epidemics in the early 1900's. Boneset gets it's name from "Break Bone Fever", an old way of describing flu symptoms when the bones feel like they will break.

~ Peppermint (Mentha piperita): is one of the oldest medicinal herbs. It is cooling and clearing to the head, eyes and chest, making it very useful for colds and the flu. Peppermint can also relieve related symptoms, i.e. headaches, sore throats, stomach upset and restricted breathing.

~ Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense): is warming and aids in reducing viral infections and lung conditions.

~ Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.): is a deep acting stimulant that enhances immunity and is especially helpful for flu conditions where there is chilliness, aching, sweating and cold skin. Cinnamon clears congestion and mucus, raises vitality, strengthens adrenals and counteracts stomach upset.

~ Grapefruit Essential Oil: helps lift one out of depression or feeling out of sorts. It also relieves nervous exhaustion, muscle fatigue, chills, cold and flu.

~ Crab Apple Flower Essence: cleanses inner impurities, both physical and emotional.

~ Impatiens Flower Essence: releases feelings of impatience, irritation and tension.

~ Mustard Flower Essence: lifts feelings of gloom and despair, like a "dark cloud".

~ Self Heal Flower Essence: mobilizes inner recourses for healing, and a vital sense of self.

~ Walnut Flower Essence: promotes freedom from limiting influences, making healthy transitions, breaking old habits, and the courage to follow one's path.
