Step One Prevention:

If the flu hits your area the best practice is prevention



Tea:
Sage, Skullcap, Oregano, Thyme, Elder Flower, Holy Basil, Nettle.
2-3 cups daily


Tincture:
Echinacea 2x daily; 2 dropperful (One week on, one week off)
Astragulus Tea (3 cups) or Tincture( 2 dropperful 3x daily)


Food;
Miso, raw garlic, veggie broths, Cayenne pepper, Turmeric, organic
veggies, meats and grains.

Stay away from processed foods, food coloring and sugar and alcohol
(sugars in the body feed bacteria and viruses) and coffee (coffee dehydrates the body and depletes you of vitamins and minerals that will help fight off pathogens).



Anti-Viral/ Anti-biotic Hand Wash:
10 drops grapefruit seed extract/ 10 drops tea tree essential oil extract in 1 gallon water



Antiseptic Spray for surfaces:
Vodka, Water, Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Essential oil. Disinfect door knobs switches , handles, toys and other surfaces that are commonly touched.



Air Sanitizer:
Simmer water on low heat in a pot with 5 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil or 5 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil or Lavender Essential Oil



If you do come down with the flu, then focus on immunity!

Continue tea:
Sage, Skullcap, Oregano, Thyme, Elder Flower, Holy Basil, Nettle.
(1 quart daily.)

add these tinctures 2 droperfull 3x daily

Meadowsweet, Japanese Knotweed, Turmeric
(keep up the echinacea and the astragulus)

Colloidal Silver: 2 squirts three times daily
Vitamin C 20000 mg daily
Grapefruit seed Extract: 1/4 teaspoon once daily.



Sleep Aids/ Pain Relief:
Valerian, Chammomile, White Willow Bark, Lemon Balm, St. Johns Wort

Take 1-2 squirts of tincture as needed or 1-2 cups of tea as needed


Stay home and avoid sharing items with household members (pens, papers,
computers, remote control. sheets, towels eating utensils, food.)

Wear a surgical mask when around others.

Clean sheets, bedding and clothes every day.



Take baths with 10 drops of lavender essential oil and 10 drops rosemary essential oil and sea salt.

If your fever is high, use lukewarm water, if your fever is not high,
hot baths are okay. (Remember fevers are our bodies way of heating up to kill pathogens. Very high fevers are dangerous, but a low fever is actually good)



Drink veggie and chicken broths with miso and raw garlic (tons of it!)
and a pinch of Cayenne Pepper.

If you have an appetite eat only organic brown rice and greens/ steamed
veggies ( the simpler the better with food, if you put food that is hard to digest in your body, your energy goes to digesting, rather than fighting pathogens)



Air sanitizer: Water steam with Eucalyptus Essential Oil or Tea Tree
Essential Oil or Lavender Oil (do this in the room every 5 hours)


Caregivers should wear disposable gloves and wear a mask when giving
care.
