I had flu this year, and it did not happen frequently in my life. As for any other health issue for many years, I decided to go through it without any antibiotics or any chemical drugs. Instead, I treated it with mostly essential oils, complements and some other natural product that I'm going to share with you. I'm not saying this could work for anyone, but at least it worked for me and flu effects has today almost completely disappeared. It might help others as well.
So, what I've done from the very beginning (and all along) was to:
A- Take complements for helping guts fighting
Morning- Vit. D, Vit. B Complex, NAC.
Evening- NAC, Magnesium Malate and Probiotics before to go to bed.
B- Use essential oils for inhalations (B1), drinking (B2) and massages (B3)
B1- For inhalations --> Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, Peppermint, and White Thyme. 2 drops of each in hot water (not boiling) and stand under inhalation by closing your eyes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Stay warm after inhalation as dilation of the respiratory tract by the heat of inhalation may make it very unpleasant to get in contact with the cold.
You can repeat several times a day. You can use an inhaler or a simple large bowl with a towel put on your head. See examples below:
On a personal note, I prefer the second solution as I do not want to use plastic with hot water.
B2- For drinking --> I had recall a topic where was mentionned the most powerful antioxidant essential oil AKA Clove oil. See here. So, I took from the day 1 one drop of Clove oil and 3 drops of Lemon oil in each cup of tea I drink all the day. About teas: I take organic mate on the morning, organic smoked black tea in the afternoon and from the end of the day until sleepiness, I use to drink an organic herbal tea made of Thyme, Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Cinnamon.
B3- For massages --> I used a balm (see picture below) as base to make my own respiratory balm with same essential oils than for inhalation (same quantity of drops: 2 of each) in which I added 2 drops of Clover oil. Apply on your chest and throat twice a day (can be three times a day) until complete penetration. This balm base I use is also perfect due to its multiple application as:
-Nose and lips: soothes irritations, protects against cold
-Cracks and crevices: repairs exposed areas
-Effective action on dry and damaged hands
-Cleans feet, soothes warm-ups
-Body parts sensitized and curled: applied in massages.
-Removes insects and relieves stings.
I also put some drops of White Thyme oil and Globulus oil in the radiator humidifier in the bedroom each evening before to sleep, and some Globulus drops on my pillow.
For headaches, I essentially used the Peppermint oil (apply few drops where you head hurts and be very careful to not apply near eyes). For the fever (I've got almost 40°C), I drunk a lot of charged water in addition of the teas all along the day (and night as I could be wake up by coughs or headaches).
I don't want to forget to mention that for flu, the main thing to do especially during the first days is resting.
I also took 10 drops of extract of Grapefruit seeds with Vit. C each day and took some bone broth and made fasting to accelerate the work of the cells.
And we now are 13 days after the beginning of the flu, and without any chemical products, flu is almost gone. Remains some cough here and there, so I just am continuing with drops in tea all along the day and complements.
Ravintsara oil and Thyme Linalol oil are also a great help in addition (or instead of) to those mentioned above.
Also an aromatic diffuser like the one below can and should be used with essential oils (can be the same as for inhalations) for main room where you stand:
It could be faster to heal for anyone else, depending on each person health and age I guess. I was myself very tired just before get flu. I hope this will be of any help to anyone.
Just a quick note to add that as I was at the very beginning of the flu, my hands and fingers were very swollen due to arthrosis. Why this at the same time than the flu, I do not know but it was obvious that the flu made my fingers far more swollen than usual. Two days of use of Clove oil in tea and my fingers were quickly deflated. Makes me wonder if this Clover oil could be of any help for anyone with arthrosis issues. It seems to have a great effect on me anyway.

With all that sleeping I only had the time, interest and energy to take one dose of liposomal vitamin C and one FIR sauna session.
