Friends I need help in the form of home remedies. My family is unwell with what seems like flu symptoms. Our doctors have told us to stay hydrated and rest. Prescribed some cough syrups. We're getting worse. Please can you share any home remedies you swear by that would help?

Yes looking to supplement with natural remedies. Thank you though. I appreciate you taking the time to respond

Gargling with salt water / lukewarm, steam, vitamin c.

^This is really good for sore throats. For flu always hydrate, add liquid IV if you want to have some energy to improve for short periods before fever hits again

A Pakistani girlfriend of mine had recommended Johar Joshnda Instant Herbal Tea - worked pretty well.

https://a.co/d/aWzsG0d

Joshanda is available at US desi grocery stores. It has a bitter taste so may be hard to offer to ur child.

Vitamin C! We supplement vitamin C starting fall till spring. Won't help to reduce the impact of symptoms but does help with the intensity if started early. Also, electrolytes are critical. Not just water. Chicken broth with turmeric and lemon like sipping broth works well for my family. My wife makes a big batch with spices and caynne pepper and we literally have that atleast once a day

If u r using the heater a lot, get a humidifier. That’ll make a huge difference.

Boil water: ajwain cloves black pepper black salt Tulsi powder ginger turmeric ghee

Thank you all for the tips. Really appreciate them
