Many of my clients have asked me to help them prepare for the upcoming cold and flu season. Besides eating a healthy, whole-foods diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, (and avoiding too much sugar, alcohol and junk food) there are a few products that I keep on hand to help my family stay well.
I feel safer already knowing that I have a full homeopathic flu kit at home. If you’ve never used homeopathic remedies before, you’ll be happy to know that they’re inexpensive, natural, non-invasive, and cause no dangerous side-effects.
Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms. Because they are not acting chemically, they do not have the potential to cause any sustained damage. Therefore, homeopathic medicines are a great choice for mothers, adults, babies and animals. Generally very safe to use with other medication, homeopathy can be used for emotional and physical trauma, acute illness and long-standing health problems.
Dr. Jacob Mirman is a homeopathic medical doctor and author of “Demystifying Homeopathy”:
(http://www.bookonhealing.com/the-book.html).
His book is the perfect guide for anyone interested in using this safe, effective form of medicine at home.
Along with Sally Tamplin, Dr. Mirman has created the Homeopathy Flu Kit that includes 46 homeopathic remedies including the most used flu remedies, that address 95% of influenza cases. A Flu Remedy Guide is included with the kit:

Write a comment about what you learned here on my blog to enter to win a Flu Kit!
We have two little kids and now are realizing how to create and plan for a better diet and now have cut out alcohol and sugar and it makes such an incredible difference. This is not easy at all to do, but once I see the results it is much more motivating than the alternative!
Thank you for your info!
I learned that homeopathy might be a great tool, in addition to nutrition, etc., to fighting the flu. Please enter me!
I learned that you have a blog and a book on healing with homeopathy. I look forward to exploring your book and blog. Thanks for the opportunity!!!
I learned that homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing powers and it’s inexpensive, natural, non-invasive, and cause no dangerous side-effects. PLEASE ENTER ME!!!!!!
Thank you.
I learned that Homeopaty stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms and that it is safe for all ages. We really could use this kit this winter. This is my daughter’s first year in public school~4k!
I learned that in addition to a healthy diet, homeopathy may act as another resource to assist in fighting the flu. I am looking for an alternative to getting a flu shot because I don’t want to have an allergic reaction, this may be very helpful, looking forward to learning even more.
I learned that you offer a full kit of homeopathic tools to fight the flu. I have used homeopathy to address other ailments, so know that it really works! Thanks for entering me in your contest!
“Homeopathic remedies modify our body’s response to it by enabling our defense mechanism to a better recognition of what needs to be fought off.” Thanks for this info, just starting to learn about homeopathy and it’s very interesting.
I would love to have a natural option for my school children and this sounds great!
I learned about your Nutrition for Empowered Women workshops, and I just participated in the first session today and am so excited!! Bring on the steamed veggies and quinoa! Otherwise, I’ve learned about self-healing with colds sometimes takes a little extra love and some yoga!
I am glad to know that homeopathic remedies are inexpensive, natural, non-invasive, cause no dangerous side effects, are used for acute and chronic health problems.
I would be grateful to win the flu kit.
Thank you for your good work of educating people about natural nutrition, homeopathy, etc.
Awesome! Go glad to have you on the call! You’re entered in the contest, too! Alex
I also participated in today’s Nutrition for Empowered Women and am really looking forward to feeling better. I have learned that homeopathic medicines act naturally by increasing your bodies own defenses against infection.
Homeopathic remedies is just what our health care system needs. If we paid more attention to natural remedies, our diets and lifestyles, the U.S. wouldn’t spend more on health care than any other industrialized country. And we’d all be healthier. Thanks for the tip about the flu kit!
I learned that homeopathic medicine helps the body heal on it’s own rather then with chemicals. This would be awesome to win since I take other medications for Crohn’s disease that lower my immune system also I don’t want to add anymore chemicals to my system!
I learned that there is a homeopathic flu kit! Thank you for the info!
Great information on the flu kit. With all of the hype about the N1H1 flu and the new vaccination, I’m hesitant about getting a vaccine being that it is so new and all of the effects aren’t yet known. During pregnancy doctors recommend getting the flu vaccine- and I haven’t gotten any in years and have been fine! Being at a greater risk, I’m considering it. Is the homeopathic set okay to use while pregnant?
After reading Dr. Mirman’s site and reading most of his book online (in addition to this blog) I find it intriguing that homeopathic substances which cause symptoms in healthy people have the exact opposite and healing effect in people ill with those symptoms. “Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms.” This urges me to study homeopathy more, esp for my chronic pain condition. I would be grateful to win the flu kit. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Alex! ~Julia Mechler, Austin, TX
Your book has been so helpful! I just tried homeopathic medicine once and it was wonderful. I’d love to have the flu kit to try with my family. Please enter me!
there has been such controversy over the flu shot and the out break of the “deadly” swine flu has my family really wondering if we should get the vaccine.
I am relieved to know there is an alternative to that thru nutrition and homeopathics.
please enter me
our medical alternatives should always include homeopathic
I just learned about a wonderful alternative to the flu shot for my 4 children. Thank you!!!
I am just now discovering all these invaluable tools through your blog and website. As a mother of two little ones, I too would feel so much more prepared this flu season with some natural remedies.
I work in a flu incubator (aka middle school). I’m hoping that homeopathic medicine will help keep me well so I can be in the classroom instead of the doctors office.
I have been giving my son natural remedies like First Defense and liquid Vitamin C for babies to fortify him during the flu season, but I’m happy to learn that there are so many remedies specific to flu symptoms. I’d love to learn more!
Wow – what great info! My son has asthma and is allergic to eggs (no flu shots here!), so it is great to learn about how homeopathic remedies could help us. We will definitely look into this.
I enjoyed the call as well and am looking forward to an amazing eight weeks. My family loved the butternut squash and quinoa dinner I made tonight.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I have been using alternative “medicine” since I was 19 (i am now 32). I can say, without a doubt, that I have to take less meds, feel healthier than most my age, and look great. It’s all about nature and let’s get back to that. Our bodies were not intended to be dumping grounds but to be treated as temples. Be good to your body, your body will be good to you.
Thank you Alex! The info proved to be very helpful. Homeopathy is a wonderful and safe way to assist the body in fighting illness.
I learned that Homeopathy has been used with great degree of success in influenza and other epidemics for 200 years.
We don’t vaccinate so this is great info to learn how to deal with flu season!
Thank you Alex for the reliable source. I have been trying to learn more about homeopathy but didn’t know where to turn…
I learned that homeopathic remedies help your body to access it’s own healing resources. I would love to win this homeopathic flu kit!
I learned that there is a homeopathic flu kit and that homeopathic remedies help the body heal without dangerous side effects. I’ve made a note of that book adn will be adding it to my collection – right next to yours, Alex!
i liked this and thought I would like to share it with a friend.
Great work. Alex
I learned that homeopathic remedies help bolster the bodies natural defenses! Enter me!

Good information. I believe in homeopathic ‘medicine’ and good sleep will keep your immune sytem functioning at its full peak
Thanks for posting this information. Homeopathics are like gentle medicine. They do the trick with no harsh reactions, bad tastes or side effects.
I love homeopathy and find it works wonders to shift and change my whole physical and emotional relationship to my ‘disease’ or problem area. I wouldn’t live without it! Thanks for sharing on this!
-Elizabeth Joy Mueller
I have long believed in Homeopathy. I was impressed to learn that “In the 1918 flu pandemic homeopaths reported around 1% mortality in their cases, while conventional doctors were losing 30% of their patients.”
That is a Very Good Reason to go homeopathic…….
Please enter me.
Well I, of course, learned a really killer vegan cornbread muffin recipe from this site today! Can’t wait to try it-though I may need to learn how to sub. out the baking powder. Thanks much for the info!
Please enter me for this drawing. I have read much on what to do AFTER you have been diagnosed with the flu, but being healthy to help PREVENT it is something I never really considered.
As a Special Education Aide working at a Junior High School I am a big fan of preventative care-especially hand washing!! I have been curious about homeopathy for some time and it was interesting to learn about the Law of Similars. I hope to get my immune system in great shape before the flu bug hits! Please enter me to win that flu kit! Thanks:)
I have been a patient of Dr Mirman’s for about five years now. I totally believe that if your body is generally healthy, you have a much higher chance of success in fighting any disease, including flu. Would love to win the flu kit!
What a wonderful resource you have here
I managed to find my way here via the Integrative Nutrition School’s website as I am looking for somewhere to continue my education in Holistic Nutrition.
Wow. Homeopathy is so INTERESTING! I have only ever taken arnica montana in homeopathic form and I did take a remedy one year when I was getting a “Cold” it was called something like Occocillian? It was immediately effective. Anyway, I was fascinated to learn how many remedies that can be used to treat cold and flu (also learned that the word influenza was the origin of the term!) depending on each individuals specific symptoms. SO “RADICAL” yet so PERFECT. I would definitely use these remedies in my arsenal for keeping my loved ones and myself healthy throughout the difficult Eastern winter coming up. Thanks Alex!
