​Researchers link the cold and flu to psychological stress. Therefore, the best way to fight a cold or flu is to take it on by strengthening the immune system. The thymus and adrenal glands are the elite functions of the immune system. When the body is sick, it means that the system is under stress, and stress depletes the immune system.

One of the defenses against a virus is a fever. If an adult has a fever, do not suppress it unless it is over 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Be aware if you’re taking Tylenol and drinking alcohol for it will lead to liver damage.


Both Naturopaths and Herbalists advise against taking Aspirin to reduce the fever of the cold and flu symptoms.

​Aspirin will attach directly to mucous membranes and can act as an irritant. Researchers believe that the combination of Aspirin and viral illness is linked to several ailments, like Reye’s Syndrome.
