The flu is an acute infectious disease which occurs in isolation, epidemic and pandemic (widespread). The flu is caused by several viruses (A, B, C) and usually affects the respiratory tract, in more serious cases it can affect the joints and even heart. Risk are more young children, the elderly, the weak, heart and kidney patients and all those who are weary and reduced defenses.

The infection is transmitted mainly from man flu spray droplets of saliva that are released during talking, coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc., on objects and dust virus can stay alive for weeks, flu is favored by climatic conditions (cold), the living conditions and the susceptibility of humans. Seasons with low sunlight also favor the onset of flu.

Epidemics of A and B influenza viruses take turns one after another in 2-3 years.

Flu symptoms:

The incubation period of flu lasts from one to five days. Morbidity can be mild, moderate and severe. Some people can apparently suffered no apparent disease manifestations.

Onset of flu illness in typical cases is characterized by sudden onset of fever, often accompanied by chills, headache, cough, significant fatigue, which sometimes does not allow the sick to get out of bed. Common complaints of backache, limbs in the eyeball and behind the sternum. Often occurs nosebleeds. Profuse runny nose is not typical of influenza.

For three days the temperature remained high (39-40 degrees), during which time appears dry bronchitis with persistent and harsh coughing and hoarseness. Patient's face was slightly red. Feels light of irritation, tearing and redness. The tongue is dry and coated in the middle and its side edges are red.
Often seen two-stage increasing temperature, the second increase (at 5-6 days of onset of illness) is associated most often with added bacterial infection.

Influenza can also be gastric ( stomach flu ) and rheumatic.

Influenza is gastric when there are phenomena of the stomach and intestines: coated tongue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and even blood. In some cases it appears and jaundice (yellow coloring of the face).
The Flu is rheumatic, except when the fever pains in the joints of the body are very strong.

The Flu Causes:

As is known, flu and colds occur mainly in one period of the year: winter. This fact usually leads people to believe that these infectious diseases due to cold. But flu epidemics there in the early spring and summer, and early autumn. Therefore, the cause must be sought not only in him. Of course, cold is triggering factor as cooling the body, especially the legs, attacks the mucous membranes of the upper and lower respiratory tract, creating the necessary conditions for the development of colds.

The main cause of flu is, in general, reduced immunity due to unsustainable way of life, there is a mandatory body pollution with toxic products due to overfeeding or feeding of unsuitable products, smoking, consumption of alcohol, air pollution, poor living conditions, contaminated professional environment, wholesale medications and more., immobilization, physical and mental fatigue, stress.

During periods of flu and colds, namely the beginning of autumn and winter, spring and early summer, summer, nature, profound changes related to the occurrence of solar activity. Land pour huge amounts of solar and cosmic energy, required for the processes of nature that will permanently disrupt the body if it is dirty.

We will explain why is it such an example a season in which colds are the most common: the autumn-winter period. Under the influence of those in cold blood waste products begin to move into the tissues in the form of mucus. If you do not take preventive measures, the mucus will gradually thicken the tissues and interfere with the normal functioning of cells throughout the body. You will experience various diseases, including influenza, which aims to separate the body from the accumulated mucus in the form of phlegm with cough, fever or high temperature. In this sense they are cleansing timely response designed to burn out or toxins.

Why fight colds and flu should be fast, timely, urgent and energetic? Because they are not innocent at all, it is thought, and could lead behind severe complications: the respiratory system - pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, pneumonia, asthma, laringotraheobronhit, cardiovascular and nervous system - encephalitis, myocarditis, urinary system - kidney disease, a musculoskeletal - rheumatism and other joint inflammation, etc
