Is it normal to get a few colds and a bout of the flu every year? Naturopathic physicians would say it’s not. Most people can stay strong and healthy all year long, and even bypass the flu shot (except for those for whom flu shots are recommended) by taking good care of themselves. This may sometimes include supplementing a healthy diet with a few extra immune-supporting measures.

Colds and flus can be prevented and treated with naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
