Home Remedies for the Stomach Flu
- Boosting the immune system may be the one, most important, defense against the flu. Vitamin C supplements are a quick and easy home remedy that strengthens your immune system.
- By using the same toothbrush over and over, the flu virus has an opportunity to re-infect you. Sterilize your toothbrush after each time you use it, and change toothbrushes every two months.
- Drink a minimum of a quart of water per day as well as grape juice, apple juice, orange juice, carrot and beet juice. These will fill your body with needed antioxidants.
- Honey with lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar) in a cup of hot water will help subside any cough and sore throat symptoms of the flu.
- As an antiviral, ginger tea helps break up congestion. Boiling a cup of water with 2-tablespoons grated ginger makes an simple ginger tea.
