- A large systematic review found zinc lozenges may modestly shorten common cold and flu duration by 2.4 days
- Honey, propolis, royal jelly, and other bee products contain natural compounds that may act against viruses, but most evidence still comes from laboratory and animal studies rather than human trials
- Tea tree oil did not kill the flu virus directly, but lab tests found that it interrupted an early step the virus needs to multiply inside infected cells
- Fluids, rest, broth, honey, salt water, steam, and moist air ease symptoms, while diet, exercise, and sunlight support health. We also review elderberry, quercetin, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, NAC, vitamin D, echinacea, and andrographis
