The recent edition of Alternative Medicine Studies features a Natural Standard evidence-based review of natural products for the flu.
Natural products, including botanicals and minerals, form the basis of many modern-day drugs.
In this review, the available evidence on the use of select natural products for the treatment or prevention of influenza is discussed. Featured therapies include andrographis, echinacea and elderberry, among others.
The review concludes with a brief overview of oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), an established influenza drug that is derived from a chemical produced by the star anise plant.
For more information about the flu, please visit Natural Standard's Medical Conditions database.
