Home Remedies For Flu
Influenza or most commonly know as \”the flu\” or \”grippe\” is cause by a virus that infects the upper respiratory tract. There are two types of influenza, type A and B, Flu infect the throat, nose, lungs bronchial tubes, and middle ear. There are vaccines for the flu but since there are so many viruses that can cause flu (about 200) however they are constantly mutating, making it very difficult to achieve success against these types of flu viruses.
The symptoms for flu are similar to those of a common cold, such as body aches, cough, hot and cold sweat, fatigue, headaches, fever, nausea, vomiting, throat pain, lack of appetite. Colds last for a week, but the flu can last for up to 12 days, and after all symptoms have disappeared a persistent cough remains for another week.
Influenza is one of the thousands of diseases that modern medicine has yet to find a cure for but herbs and natural remedies can relieve the symptoms.
TIP: Did you know that the Flu shot or vaccine is made from chicken embryos? If you are allergic to eggs, avoid Flu shots the allergic reaction is worse then the flu symptoms, besides, the effectiveness of the vaccine is not very good ether.
Do not buy any over the counter drugs to deal with this virus, most of the medications in the market today only suppress the symptoms and block the self defense mechanism of the body making it more difficult to recover.
TIP: Do not use Aspirin, this can irritate the mucus membranes.

Good home remedies for your lawn is by Maintaining a nice lawn requires proper fertilization and watering, insect and disease control, and thatch control.
Thatch Control
Key Benefits
Encourages rooting into the soil, not the thatch layer
The lawn is less prone to insect and disease problems
When?
Spring or Fall
Thatch control is best performed in the spring or fall of the year, with fall being the best time of year for lawn work. The "ideal" period is August 20th through October 20th.
Core Aeration
Aeration of your lawn once (fall) or twice (spring & fall) a year will help prevent thatch buildup, improve the penetration of fertilizer and lime into the root zone, and allow the soil to "breathe". We use the machines that pull a soil plug.
Dethatching
When thatch approaches or exceeds the "threshold" of 1/2-inch thick, it becomes necessary to employ physical thatch removal. We use a flail-type machine which we found works the best.
Liming
The third step in thatch control and reduction is the light application of ground limestone. Even though your soil pH is in the correct range, thatch can be very acidic, reducing its tendency to naturally breakdown. We use pelletized lime since it makes less mess and speeds application.
for more information u could go to this site that i gave to u:
http://www.donnan.com/lawnrx.htm
for stoping pesticides hovering in ur lawn u can read this information given below :
There is never, ever, any reason to use synthetic toxic pesticides. Actually, it is more effective to use natural remedies in handling pests. You will get much better results.
Also, one should never, ever, use synthetic herbicides (nor even synthetic fertilizers.) They do much more damage than benefit. Herbicides can be extremely toxic. There are more efficacious ways to handle the lawn and garden.
Here is the deal: It is more effective, safer, less expensive, and easier to use natural remedies to handle conditions. There are so very many alternatives! Thousands! The reason natural remedies are not common-place is because their use is suppressed by the chemical boys.
I could list hundreds of natural remedies for handling pests, but I just don’t have the time to list many right now.
Here is a great start.

There is an abundance of information at this site. Hundreds of alternatives are listed.
By the way, the enzyme soap mentioned works extremely well at killing pests. [use diluted one ounce to a quart] I have tried it and was amazed. Of course, the soap can not be listed as a pesticide thanks to the lobby efforts of the big chemical boys.
