InfluenzaInfluenza is characterized by fever, myalgia, headache and pharyngitis. In addition there may be cough and in severe cases, prostration. There is usually not coryza (runny nose) which characterizes common cold infections. The Elder tree's berries are tasty flu fighters. They contain compounds that can inhibit the enzyme that flu viruses use to penetrate our cell membranes. The berries are mildly laxative and sweat-inducing, and simmered with sugar, make a winter cordial for coughs and colds.1Elder flowers and berries combined with yarrow and mint are specific for the treatment of colds and flu. 2Lemon balm - Melissa are sweat inducing, useful for treating colds and flu, and taste great. Lemon balm also has a relaxing effect that makes it easier to rest. Another relaxing herb, St. John's wort can inhibit influenza A viruses and parinfluenza virus, which produces flu-like symptoms, (but not cold viruses)2
