Herbal remedies for influenza focus on boosting immunity, managing symptoms, and supporting the body’s recovery process. Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a potent antiviral herb that reduces the duration and severity of flu symptoms by inhibiting virus replication. Echinacea (Echinacea spp.) stimulates immune activity to help the body fight off the infection. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) warms the body, eases nausea, and relieves respiratory congestion. Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) is traditionally used to manage fever, aches, and respiratory discomfort associated with influenza. These herbs, combined with rest, hydration, and supportive care, offer a natural and effective approach to treating influenza while promoting recovery.

Note: Severe cases of influenza, particularly in vulnerable populations, may require medical attention to prevent complications.
