Herbal Living -Cold & Flu Prevention

In this newsletter we take a look at some solutions to enhance your immunity.

Are you prepared for the Cold & Flu season?

There are more than two hundred different viruses which cause the common cold and three main types of viruses which cause the flu (influenza). All can be extremely contagious, regularly mutating causing different varieties of the strain allowing reinfection of a similar type virus. The seasonal flu virus kills more than 600 people in the UK each year and up to 13,000 during an epidemic. Antibiotics do not have any effect whatsoever against viral infections and antiviral drugs do not cater for any mutations which occur with the strain. For this reason it is important to know what is available to you to help reduce the risk of catching a virus and when you have a virus how you can help your body recover.

How are viruses spread from person to person?

When someone coughs or sneezes into their hands and then if they touch a door handle, hand rail, computer keyboard, TV remote control, paperwork, money clothing or any object, then the virus will stay in an active state on that object for up to 24 hours. If someone touches an object contaminated by a virus and then subsequently touches their nose, eyes or mouth, they can become infected. Also if someone sneezes or coughs into the air, millions of tiny droplets cover approximately a 1 metre (3 foot) area, staying suspended in the air for a period of time before dropping onto and contaminating objects which people may touch. The length of time the droplets stay suspended in the air depends on the humidity which is the reason why these droplets can stay airborne for longer during the winter months.
