Drug-Free Solutions

From Men's Health:

Instead of antidepressants, spend a little time in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). It's a three-minute breathing space. Focus on how your body feels as well as what you're thinking and feeling right now. Then shift your attention to your breathing to further bring yourself into the present moment. Finally, expand your awareness back out to your entire body while deliberately breathing in and out.

Instead of antiviral medications to combat the flu, try a simple humidifier. The airborne influenza virus survives longer in dry air.
