At the first sign of that chilly, shivery feeling, I give myself a dose of Anti Viral Drops, which is a potent blend of essential oils which help to kill the virus. But this is not enough; you also need to boost your immune system. I would make myself, or you, a formula of herbal tonic specifically for your needs at the time (you understand that each immune tonic is specific to that person).
Then, I make myself a nice organic chicken broth with leeks, chillies and lemons. If you are vegetarian, then go for a mushroom (especially shitake) soup. After taking my soup, I run a hot bath, and add a double handful of Mustard Bath. This old Victorian recipe is still an absolute favourite, because it is extremely comforting, and it also raises the body temperature, bringing on dynamic perspiration. This is just what we need, because viruses can only survive in a very narrow temperature range.
Immediately after getting out of your hot bath, wrap up and get into a warm bed, so that you can perspire. Take a second dose of Anti Viral Drops, and then read quietly until you drop off. Try to stay wrapped up, so that you perspire during the night.
In the morning, change your bed sheets. Upon arising, take another dose of Anti Viral Drops, and continue as per the instructions which I would have provided you with. Take your immune tonic too, and have a gentle day. Keep warm and cosy, and eat very nourishing food.
You might like to burn some Anti-Bac diffuser oils, which kill the airborne bacteria, or you might find Sinus Relief helpful if your sinuses feel full and congested with coloured mucous.
If you do have the misfortune to develop post viral fatigue, the best option is to book an appointment with me, which can be done via video or telephone if you don’t live near Petersfield, and I will take into account your symptoms, and the events leading up to this illness, so that I can prescribe a course of treatment to help you make a full recovery. It is possible to recover from post viral fatigue. I have been working with that for over 20 years, and one of my favourite herbs is Sutherlandia, a herb which has powerful anti-viral properties as well as adaptogenic properties, meaning that it rebuilds resilience. In the case of post viral fatigue, the underlying issues are crucial to take into account, as often there has been stress over a long period of time which has undermined the health of the person.
