Husband has the flu!! He came home from work coughing and saying he's "achey." Does anyone know what herbs are good for a "normal" person who has the flu?? I want to get him better ASAP. And before he passes it along to me. I've never had the flu in my life and don't feel like starting now!  Thanks guys!

I gave him Echinacea goldenseal. Any other herbs your family takes while down with flu?

Thank you, deir!! I just gave him several herbs, gml and ear included. Trying to get him fixed up before it gets too out of hand! Thank you!

When I had the flu last year she had me take Goldenseal, oil or oregano and echinacea. I didn't have any other herbs on hand but I think GML and ZGL are both used.

Thanks guys! He's on the mend. I ended up giving him Echinacea goldenseal, gml, ear, and formula 49. His cough was dry, and this seemed to work well. He's been wearing a dust mask around the house to keep from spreading germs with cough. I expect he'll be fully better by the end of the weekend! Thanks again!!

Good! That's not too long for a flu. Glad he is feeling better
