Being sick with the flu is never easy. You have a high fever and switch between chills and sweats constantly; your muscles ache, you’re stuck with a congested nose and you have to suffer from a sore throat. Dealing with all these symptoms can be stressful and could have a significant impact on your daily life, causing your to-do list to pile up before your eyes while you recover. However, there are luckily many things which you can do to help you overcome the flu as quickly as possible. So, if you’re struggling with your symptoms and are looking for ways to speed the recovery process along, then here is an essential guide of tips to help you feel better in no time.

Increase your vitamin intake

Vitamins are vital for many reasons, particularly for helping your body to heal itself and boost your immune system. You can get vitamins from your food and from homemade juices, as well as from supplements. You can also get a flu recovery IV drip from resetiv.com for a fast and convenient way to get a shot of vitamins.

Get plenty of sleep

Your body does most of its healing while you are asleep, so it is crucial that you try to get plenty of rest while you are battling the flu. Whenever you can find a spare moment to rest, you should do so, as this will help you to recover faster. However, try not to fall into the trap of never leaving your bed, as this can lead to a decrease in your mood and mental wellbeing, which would be counterproductive your recovery.

Use essential oils

There are some essential oils which are great for when you are recovering from the flu. For example, peppermint oil can be beneficial for clearing your respiratory systems of congestion and for relieving headaches. Depending on the type of oils you buy, you can use them topically, orally, or in diffusers.

Eat a balanced diet

Your food choices have a massive influence on your body’s ability to recover from illness. Filling your body with too many carbohydrates and sugars might improve your energy levels, but can be counterproductive to your wellbeing. Try to increase your protein, fiber, vitamin and mineral intake through maintaining a balanced diet.

Take a warm bath


Warm water is great for soothing aching muscles, which is a common side effect of the flu, and this will be further helped by adding Epsom salts to your bath. Heat is also useful for helping you to sweat out toxins. The steam from the bath will also help to relax your throat and clear congestion.

Go out in the fresh air

Leaving the house is often the last thing you want to do when you are ill, but fresh air will improve your mood as well as increase air flow when you are feeling congested.

Drink lots of water

Increasing your water intake will help your muscles and organs function more efficiently, and will help to flush out all of the toxins in your body.
