Flu Season Home Remedies?!?

Greetings everyone!

With flu season hitting it’s peak, I am sure many of you are looking for ways to be safe and healthy! First off, the main goal when dealing with the flu should be having a strong, healthy immune system. A healthy immune system comes about as a result of having a fullt functioning nervous system. The chiropractors here in Peoria at the Durbin Wellness Center (soon to be Synergy Healthcare-Physical Medicine!) aim to give your immune system a boost with a spinal adjustment. There is one thing I am certain about, and that is I will do whatever I can to avoid getting sick. Not only do spinal adjustments help boost the immune system and keep the spine aligned, but it is a natural approach to fighting the flu. Chiropractic is the way to go!

If some people have the flu already, what are some tricks or tips you like to use for a quick fix?! Chicken noodle soup with extra black pepper works well for me, but what is your secret that everyone should know about?
