Homeopathic treatment for Swine Flu

The doctors, conventional as well a the homeopathic, have limited experience so far about the treatment of Swine flu, as the infection is new to the humans.

However, on the basis of the nature of the disease and its pathophysiology, we can opine that homeopathic is likely to work well in the cases of Swine flu, since homeopathy has well established role in the treatment of many viral diseases.

मौसम का बदलाव कई सुखद चीजें लेकर अपने साथ आता है पर कई बार इस बदलाव के साथ कुछ ऐसा भी होता है कि जो हम बिलकुल नहीं चाहते। ये है फ्लू या फिर सामान्य भाषा में कहें तो सर्दी जुकाम, बुखार या फिर वायरल बुखार। फ्लू ठीक होने में अपना समय लेता है।

व्यक्ति की इम्यूनिटी के हिसाब से लक्षण गंभीर या हल्के हो सकते हैं पर फ्लू अपना समय पूरा करके ही शरीर से निकलता है। ऐसे में बहुत से लोग दवा की जगह प्राकृचतिक तरीकों से ही फ्लू से मुकाबला करना चाहते हैं। हम इस लेख में ऐसे ही तरीकों पर चर्चा करेंगे।

बदलता मौसम यानी फ्लू और वायरल बुखार का सीज़न। ठंडे गर्म के असर से फ्लू लोगों को आसानी से अपनी चपेट में ले लेता है। घर में किसी एक को फ्लू या बुखार हो तो बाकी लोग खुद ही संक्रमण की चपेट में आ जाते हैं। एक बार सर्दी ज़ुकाम जिसे पकड़ता है तो फिर कम से एक हफ्ते उसे बंद नाक,सिरदर्द,बदन दर्द जैसे लक्षणों को सहन करना पड़ता है। ऐसे में बार बार दवा लेने के बजाय हम घरेलू उपचार का ही सहारा लेना चाहते हैं क्योंकि ज्यादातर दवाएं सिर्फ लक्षणों को दबाती हैं,बीमारी को जड़ से खत्म नहीं करतीं।...more
