Swine Flu Menace : Personal Care Articles

:: Boost your immunity to counter infections like swine flu with Homeopathy and lifestyle changes!

Among hoards of mails circulated on World Wide Web, few are really important. Well, it does not mean people who are circulating these mails have bad intentions. Many people want to come forth with certain things that can free us all of the swine flu scare and impart health. But while trusting these mails, it is definitely necessary to seek expertise and not trust any and all mails. You obviously want to help yourself and not fall prey to heavy side effects from the drugs.

For example, taking Tamiflu whenever you suffer from flu-like symptoms is not good at all. Rather, experts have said that taking Tamiflu merely with onset of sneezing or coughing may lead to serious side effects. Moreover, in children, these drugs must be used with caution only with expert advice. So, if you are thinking to store Tamiflu in advance, you may be wrong.

Swine flu found in people with low resistance power!

This is the reason it is better to dwell upon ideas that are talking to boost your immunity. In this swine flu scenario, it is better if you are able to cope with the increasing viral infection by enhancing your resistance power. Even it is found so far that people who succumbed to swine flu have low or compromised immunity due to one or more reasons. Therefore there is no need to fret the threat if you are immune to the viral attack.

Enhance your immunity and don’t panic!

No wonder therapies like homeopathy and Ayurveda have lot to do with this swine flu. These are the therapies that are traditionally known to boost the immunity. They act upon the body as well as mind to relieve you of swine flu anxiety as well. The following homeopathic remedies are very crucial in reducing swine flu scare. They do act as the best preventive tools against swine flu:

* Gelsemium
* Arsenicum album
* Rhus tox
* Pulsatilla
* Eupatorium perfoliatum
* Bryonia etc

The anxious state of mind or panic lowers the immunity and so the swine flu threat is higher in people with excessive anxiety about swine flu. Relax! Do not equate swine flu with death. Instead act now and increase your bodily resistance to curb all such future viral and bacterial attacks.

Think about future problems now!

We are all doing every possible thing to avoid the occurrence of swine flu and putting face masks despite experts shouting that masks are not of much use. Have you thought what if some other infection crops up suddenly after swine flu? Well, I absolutely do not want to create fear among masses. Rather, I want you all to be solidly built so that you will repel any and every infection that may come your way. We all know global warming and uncertainty of rains are creating havoc in our life. Who knows what is there in store tomorrow? We cannot sit silent without doing anything. We must take action now to avoid all such future hassles so that we will not need to dig a well when we face scarcity!

What can we do to build our immunity stronger?

Let’s list the points:

(1) Do not panic. It is possible if you learn to manage your stress well. Stressed individuals face graver risks. Here too you can seek help from homeopathy which acts on your mind and psyche effectively.

(2) Avoid harsh medications that take away your strength and act only temporarily. What we mean by this is, if you or your child develops a habit of taking high doses of antibiotics and anti-virals for common colds and fevers how will your build your resistance power? If you suppress every expression of your body by harsh medicine, you will never realize that your body has a mechanism to cope with these external attacks. Moreover, your body will forget how to react to a foreign stimulus and will need higher and higher antibiotics every time in future. So, try natural and holistic medicines like homeopathy that act from inside out and are mildest.

(3) Enhance your physical activity. Free radicals are thought to be one of the reasons for catching infections early. Regular exercise reduces free radicals and enhances anti-oxidants in circulation. This in turn makes you immune to viral attacks like swine flu.

(4) Eat healthy. Vegetarianism must be emphasized. Also eat more raw veggies, green veggies and sprouts that make your diet complete.

(5) Homeopathic constitutional medicines are prescribed by experts after carefully considering the physical, mental, and emotional sphere of a person and they act wonderfully well to enhance the overall resistance power.

(6) Last but not the least, live your life calmly. While running behind money and power, realize where you are heading. Live a life fully and devote more time to activities that you like. Happier you are; more will be your immunity! Try it!
