Whenever the flu season nears, prudent consumers get immunized against the most virulent strains of flu that are expected. This is especially recommended for people who are elderly or have chronic lung disease, diabetes, or various other chronic diseases.
Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic medicine marketed to relieve influenza-like symptoms. Four clinical studies have shown Oscillo (for short) to reduce the duration and severity of fever, chills, and body aches and pains. It is one of the most popular of all homeopathic medicines, particularly in France. The name Oscillococcinum is owned by a French company, Boiron, its sole manufacturer.
