One of the primary reasons why homeopathy gained such significant popularity in the 19th century was the exceedingly good results that homeopathic patients experienced during the various epidemics that raged during the time, including cholera, yellow fever, scarlet fever, typhoid, pneumonia, and influenza.
A flu epidemic is not new to this country, and despite different severity and prevailing symptoms of previous epidemics there are targeted homeopathic remedies that can match the disease picture. Since the cause of the epidemic is always the same for people who are affected, the symptoms that they suffer from are similar too. Hence homeopaths can often recommend same remedies that are helping the prevalent number of people regardless of their constitutional make up and coexisting chronic conditions.
