Is the flu visiting your house at the moment?

Is someone in your family suffering from Flu-like symptoms at the moment? It doesn't seem to matter these days whether its winter or summer, flu symptoms are a common occurrence.

Don't forget Homoeopathy can be really effective in Acute conditions, such as the common Flu, so maybe its time you got yourself a Home Remedy Kit and have some of these remedies on hand, ready for those sudden-onset symptoms??

Have you ever asked yourself..... - Why does one person in the household experience: High fever, restlessness, feels worse after midnight; while another person in the same household has a lower fever; extreme aches/pains; is super thirsty and wants to be left alone??? As we already know, everyone is individual, we all experience things differently and our bodies respond in different ways to these experiences. This is where Homoeopathy stands apart from other medicines.  Each patient is assessed on their individual symptoms and a Homoeopathic remedy is then chosen to "match" those particular symptoms they are experiencing. Its all about how they’re body is “expressing” the disease state and therefore not ONE remedy alone can help ALL patients experiencing the same disease state.

Using the example I mentioned previously, the first example might benefit from Arsenicum album, while the second example may do well for some Bryonia.  Two patients, from the one household, with the same "Flu", but each patient is experiencing it differently.

Thankfully in Homoeopathy, we have lots of different remedies that may be effective to help with flu-like symptoms. I’ve put together a pic below to show some of the more commonly used remedies, but you may also like to consider:
