Treating glandular fever with natural remedies is showing promising results in relieving uncomfortable symptoms without the side effects of dangerous medications.

Let’s take a look at the top 5 remedies:

1) Antiviral herbs
Herbs play a central role in boosting immunity and calming pain and inflammation. Some of the most popular herbs for treating glandular fever are echinacea (especially for children), olive leaf, and astragalus.

2) Healing Nutrients
Nutrients like vitamin C and zinc are powerful antioxidants and immune system stimulators that need to be considered when fighting any infection.

For the stress and fatigue associated with this infection, nutrients like magnesium and B-complex are helpful. They help repair exhausted adrenal glands and increase energy levels.

3) Immunostimulant diet
A healthy diet based on fresh vegetables and low-carbohydrate fruits is a critical step in treating glandular fever. Quality protein foods such as fish, free-range chicken, eggs, and vegetables should also be included to help support immunity and rebuild muscle mass. Essential fats found in foods like deep-sea fish and flaxseed oil are vital for healthy cell function.

Excessive carbohydrates such as sugar, bread, cookies, cakes, pasta, rice, and cereals should be minimized as they can worsen inflammation such as sore throat, muscle pain, or enlarged liver.

4) Aromatherapy oils
Aromatherapy oils are a pleasant way to treat glandular fever. Essential oils like eucalyptus, tea tree oil, and thyme are great decongestants that can help clear a stuffy nose and cough. They can be added to a steam inhalation or used as a throat gargle. For headaches and sore muscles, lavender oil is very beneficial. A few drops can be added to a warm bath or used in a massage oil.

5) Remedies to cleanse the liver
When treating glandular fever, liver function should be addressed. Powerful remedies that cleanse the liver include freshly squeezed lemon juice, dandelion tea, and herbs such as artichoke.

These 5 remedies are an excellent starting point for treating glandular fever. There are many more therapies like homeopathy, stress management techniques, graded exercise, meditation, and visualization that can help.
