Abstract in brief

  • Recent viral respiratory infections, especially influenza, pose significant challenges due to the lack of effective vaccines and treatments, largely because of the virus's ability to change its structure.
  • Various herbal remedies such as maoto, licorice root, ginseng, Echinacea, and pomegranate have shown potential in preventing or treating these illnesses, with some scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness—while supplements like zinc and probiotics also help reduce cold severity and infection rates.
  • Emerging natural approaches like alkaline diets and earthing (grounding) are suggested to have antiviral or anti-inflammatory effects, but more research is needed to confirm their efficacy in treating respiratory viral infections.

@GiacomoGorini Fu una dottoressa tedesca di Berlino, oggi in pensione, che riuscì ad aiutarmi. Da allora, contro l'influenza, per la mia salute ho ritenuto utile non più vaccinarmi e ricorrere ad altri rimedi complementari. https://t.co/0Ds4DKolrJ
