Natural Remedies for the Flu

My partner, our 13-month-old, and I all have the flu. Is there any natural remedies that can help my toddler? We didn’t give her the flu shot, and I’m starting to get scared because when I Googled whether it was bad not to get the flu shot, it said it could make the illness more severe.

My go to! Also Is 13 month old still breast feeding?

Definitely what Kiki posted above! Also, if you can get your hands on some fire cider and garlic honey for you & your partner, that would be great. Focus on immunity boosters such as: vitamin C, D, & A; elderberry syrup or tea; dandelion tea; echinacea; nourishing foods like bone broth, veggie soup, sourdough; breastfeed baby as much as possible if still nursing. Feel better soon!!!!

We used the hylands coughed and cold medicine and it helped a ton!

Orange juice (vitamin C) garlic. Soups loaded w garlic some ginger and some turmeric 👌🏼 Honey. Take ts of honey if you have a sore throat.

I usually take MANUKA honey, lemon and garlic and make a “tea”. Also OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT (from most chemists) is amazing for immunity in general and seems to knock any flu like symptoms on the head quickly. Chicken soup (homemade) is underrated.. chicken has something in it that inhibits the migration of inflammation. Hope you all feel better soon!

manuka honey, oscillococcinum is a life saver, & flew away which is an herbal supplement

not manuka for baby i dont think and im not sure about flew away but you and dad can def take that!!

https://divyas.com/product/immune-boost-broth/?srsltid=AfmBOool4mjwErufHuXpA-uBC9qj4mcURK2qSsGinAawXSUoXwXzQjiI Works wonders for cold and flu. Ajwain specifically in this broth mix- is a super herb that reduces mucus, clears inflammation, and is anti microbial / antibacterial. You can mix a small amount of this with water and lime/ honey for baby. Or make a compress. Feel better!
