“Getting the flu is fun,” said no person ever!  The aches, pains, fever and wasted days recovering isn’t something you want to deal with.  As preppers, we should have a plan in place to prevent and, if necessary, treat this evil bug!  This article will hopefully be one of the best prepper flu resources for those wanting to find a bunch of natural flu information to fight the flu quickly!

Using Essential Oils, Recipes and More

Let’s start off with some ways that you can use essential oils.  EO’s are a powerhouse of natural healing ability.  Every prepper should have a basic stock of essential oils and learn how to use them.  There is a myriad of uses for EO’s.  I recommend the Spark Naturals brand.  You can purchase them at Amazon.

DIY Cold and Flu Medicine aka the Cold and Flu Bomb – by my good friend Gaye Levy of Strategic Living Blog.  She is my goto person for essential oil questions.  This article not only talks about how to use essential oils in salves and diffusers, but she gives you recipes so you can whip up your own batch of remedies to fight the flu.

In, Natural Cold and Flu Remedy: Eucalyptus Shower Bombs, another good friend, Daisy Luther, gives you the recipe to make your very own flu shower bomb.  Imagine getting into a hot shower and dropping one of these explosive remedies on the shower floor!

Teas that Hit the Flu Where It Hurts

Leah, over at Fabulous Farm Girl, has a Soothing Coconut Oil Tea recipe that is easy to make and tastes great!  You might find you want to drink this tea, even if you’re not having to fight the flu!

Elderberry is a very powerful immune booster that will help in your efforts to fight the flu.  This article at Survival Sullivan has recipes for Elderberry tea and syrup.  If you have elderberries growing around you, then check this article out – Elderberries, Natural SHTF Flu Remedy. If you don’t ‘have elderberries growing around you, you can still benefit from taking Sambucol, an elderberry syrup that you can purchase online.

Another easy to make recipe that will help you fight the flu is shared by my friend over at Herbal Survival.  Nick’s article gets straight to the point.  If you don’t have the herbs that make up his tea, you should definitely think about adding them to your stockpile.  Take a look at A simple but Powerful Cold n Flu Tea.

When You Put On the Gloves and Fight the Flu

Unfortunately, there might come a time when you will have to fight the flu.  In those times, you will want to fight with extreme prejudice and kick some flu butt!  Two of my favorite people in preparedness share how to do just that.  You will want to read the article by Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy, over at Doom and Bloom, Influenza, Part 4: Treatment.  The other articles in the series are linked in this article so you can get some great information from professionals who know how to fight the flu!
