🌿 Top 5 Natural Remedies for the Flu
Gentle, natural ways to support your body during cold & flu season.
1. Elderberry (Sambucus)
Elderberry is one of the most researched botanicals for immune support and may help shorten the duration and severity of cold/flu symptoms.
✨ In our store:
We carry a DIY Elderberry Syrup Kit so you can make your own potent, fresh elderberry remedy at home.
Use as: syrup, tea, gummies, or capsules.
2. Hydration + Electrolytes
Fever, sweating, and viral illness quickly dehydrate the body. Proper hydration helps ease headaches, muscle aches, congestion, and fatigue.
✨ In our store:
We carry LMNT Electrolytes in both carbonated cans and packets—perfect for restoring minerals and supporting recovery.
Try:
Electrolyte water
Warm broths
Herbal teas
Coconut water
3. Vitamin C
Vitamin C supports the immune system, reduces inflammation, and may help your body fight infection more effectively.
Get vitamin C through supplements or foods like citrus, kiwi, peppers, or berries.
Tip: Smaller, repeated doses are more effective than one large dose.
4. Ginger + Honey + Lemon Tea
This soothing, antiviral blend helps with:
Nausea
Sore throat
Fever/chills
Congestion
Cough
How to make it:
Simmer fresh ginger slices → add raw honey + lemon.
5. Rest & Warmth
Rest is one of the most powerful immune-supportive tools.
Give your body space to heal:
Extra sleep
Warm blankets
Light stretching
Low-stimulation environment
Epsom salt baths
Healing happens fastest when the nervous system is calm.
