Flu is nothing but influenza caused by influenza virus. Can spread directly or airborne . Once any foreign body enters your body , your immune response triggers , if it's strong enough it fights on its own and if it requires some boosters then you must provide it.
Home remedies Can only be good food , fruits and veggies.
Vitamin loads keep ur immune system high hence fruits are essential in this case .Almost any fruit as all seems to boost our immune system but to name a few :
Apples, grapefruit, cranberries, bananas , almost all citrus fruits.
Vegetables : ginger,garlic,onions, mushrooms.
Others may include : turmeric, blackpepper (with milk might work in sore throat but careful it can also increase ur phlegm / sputum which can further worsen the condition), honey ,yoghurt ,olive oil ,lemon juice.

Thanks for the question!
It's a fact that disease-causing viruses and bacteria are all around us. Whether you come into contact with the flu or another variety, you need to focus on maintaining a robust and well-functioning immune system to avoid getting sick. As mentioned, I believe optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the most potent preventive strategies available, followed by diet (including fermented foods to optimize your gut flora), stress relief, exercise and sleep.
There are other factors that can come into play too, of course. The following guidelines will also act in concert to support your immune system and help you avoid getting sick:
• Take a High-Quality Source of Animal-Based Omega-3 Fats. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils (think vegetable oils) as it will seriously damage your immune response.
• Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap using synthetic chemicals for this – conventional antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple non-toxic soap that you can switch your family to.
• Tried and True Hygiene Measures. In addition to washing your hands regularly, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, ideally with the crook of your elbow (to avoid contaminating your hands). If possible, avoid close contact with those who are sick and, if you are sick, avoid close contact with those who are well.
• Use Natural Immune-Boosters. Examples include oil of oregano and garlic, both of which offer effective protection against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa in your body. And unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, they do not appear to lead to resistance and the development of 'super germs.'
• Avoid Hospitals. I'd recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency and need expert medical care, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds. The best place to recover from illness that is not life threatening is usually in the comfort of your own home.
• Manage your stress: Chronic stress exerts a powerful negative influence on your epigenetic health, turning on and off the expression of genes that directly influence your likelihood of getting sick. Using techniques like energy psychology, you can correct the emotional short-circuiting that contributes to your chronic stress, which helps to optimize your genetic expression. My favorite technique for this is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), but there are many others, such as yoga, journaling, and prayer.

Flu treatment:
There are ten ways to treat influenza without the need for medicines:
Drinking liquids:
The flu may cause dehydration, especially if it is accompanied by vomit or diarrhea. Drink enough fluids, such as water, fruit juice or lemon, soda, and to relieve sore throat. It is recommended to take herbal tea with honey, but caffeine-containing beverages should be avoided because they are diuretic. Stay away from drinking alcohol, and to make sure that the amount of fluids taken up enough to monitor the urine color to be light yellow to colorless.
Eat hot broth (soup):
Eating chicken broth may help relieve symptoms of upper respiratory infection (nose, pharynx, larynx).
Comfort:
Good sleep and rest help improve your immune system. You need to get enough sleep at night (eight hours).

Breathing wet air relieves nasal congestion and sore throat. Effective methods of inhaling wet air: shower with water vapor several times a day or use a moisturizer to moisten the atmosphere of the room but must be cleaned constantly.

Steps when feeling congested but should not be used this way with asthma patients.
Warm water compresses:
Apply warm compresses on the forehead and nose to relieve headaches and sinus pain.
Sucking special tablets to relieve sore throat:
Throat tablets and drops to relieve the cough that are present in pharmacies help relieve the pain of the throat and cough and its effectiveness by sucking, which helps in the decomposition of the active substance and its effect remains longer.
Gargle:
Gargling with water and salt, but without swallowing helps to get rid of phlegm gathered, especially after the patient is lying because most of the mucus in this case gathers at the end of the throat may also help to open the ear.
Nose Lotion:
The lye is placed in the opening of the nose and must be left to move to the other nose and this lye is a salt added to the lukewarm water and mixed or buy a ready solution from the pharmacy.
Care for the patient:

Sometimes the patient may need medications to treat influenza-related symptoms such as paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and headache, medicines to relieve cough, but usually there is no need for drugs to treat the same flu, but sometimes the doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs as needed.
