Homeopathy remedy used for Spanish flu influenza (Can be used for Current flu).

Dr E. Jones, a Homeopath who practiced in Buffalo, NY, writes, "There is an epidemic of this disease [influenza] in Buffalo; from 75 to 100 deaths are reported within 24 hours." (Jones, 1918, p.553) Like many of his homeopathic colleagues, Jones had considerable experience treating influenza epidemics and had never lost a case of influenza in nearly 50 years of practice. He writes, "[Influenza] is one of the easiest diseases to cure if a doctor knows his Materia Medica." (Jones, 1918, p.553)

In his paper, which was published by 3 principle newspapers, he provides a few suggestions for treatment:

If you should have chilly spells, and your nose feels stuffed up, great thirst, very restless and feverish, put five drops Tincture Aconite in half a glass of water, take one teaspoonful every hour. Put your feet in hot water, as hot as you can bear it, keep them in the water for 15 minutes. Drink plenty of hot lemonade. (Jones, 1918, p.553)

Dr James W. Ward reports 100% recoveries in 182 patients and reveals the 3 most frequently used remedies:

Gelsemium 3x: Controlled the fatigue cases having chilliness, moderate fever, sneezing, watery nasal discharge. No thirst. Yawning. Drowsy but often sleepless. Deep-seated, dull aching in the limbs and joints. Banded feeling around head or occiput fullness.

Eupatorium 3x: Marked chill followed by fever 103° to 105° F/39° to 41° C. Pulsating frontal or occipital headache. Intense aching in back. Deep bone aching. Nausea. Vomiting. Larynx rough, scraping sensation producing cough. Oppression of chest with soreness.

Bryonia 1x: Much chilliness, frequently with heat in head. Flushed face and much thirst. Heat more internal. Transient sweats of single parts. Dry cough which yields to blood specked expectoration. Constriction of chest and pressure on sternum. The symptoms all aggravated by motion… Desire to but unable to take deep breath. (Ward, 1919, p.856)

Liquid Diet

Homeopaths also made dietary recommendations consisting principally of fasting or liquids. Green comments, "The dietetic treatment of influenza is of great importance. I know of no disease, not even typhoid, in which a strictly liquid diet is of more importance." (Green, 1920, p.1102) McCann prescribed an egg white with orange juice every 3 hours for the first 2 days, adding a vegetarian diet of fruits, vegetables, and some cereals. Dr J. Johnson of Michigan put patients on "a strict diet [keeping] the patient in bed and not allowed to sit up until about two days after the fever was gone." (Johnson, 1919, p.1097)
