In the 1918 Flu Pandemic, many influenza patients were successfully treated with herbs. Herbs & Influenza- How herbs used in the 1918 Flu Pandemic can be effective today describes pandemic flu strains and the current treatment options available.

The Eclectic doctors of the 1918 Flu Pandemic had a 0.6% mortality rate treating flu patients with herbs, compared to the conventional treatment mortality rate of at least 2.8%. With the threat of another flu pandemic looming, Herbs & Influenza descriptions of flu symptoms and how to use herbs to ease them are invaluable.

Herbs & Influenza discusses common herbs that can be utilized in home treatments and less common herbs that require a trained professional to determine the correct time of administration and dose. Select non-herbal flu remedies are also discussed. Herbs & Influenza is intended for use by lay people and professionals.

Herbs & Influenza describes how doctors during the 1918 Flu Pandemic used herbs to:

  • Lower high fevers
  • Stop the aches and pains
  • Soothe coughs
  • Avoid potentially fatal complications

Seasonal influenza also causes these symptoms. Knowing herbs that provide relief is important every year, and will be critical when the next pandemic hits.
