Ep. 796: Homeopathy for Flu Season

Ep. 796: Homeopathy for Flu Season

Author: JJ Flizanes January 13, 2026 Duration: 46:40

JJ reconnects with longtime friend and homeopath Avghi "Avi" Constantinides (yes—at Trader Joe's!) for a timely conversation on natural immune support during the holiday season and beyond. Avghi breaks down what homeopathy is, how it differs from symptom-only approaches, and shares her go-to homeopathic "flu season trio" that many of her clients use for prevention and support. The conversation then expands into entrepreneurship, education, and why responsiveness and follow-up are essential for building a sustainable, heart-centered business.

In this episode, you'll hear:
  • How a chance reconnection at Trader Joe's brought Avghi into the West Coast Women Rising community

  • Avghi's origin story: from the UK, to South Africa, to the U.S.—and the life-changing realization that shaped her work

  • What homeopathy really is and how it treats the whole person rather than isolated symptoms

  • What to expect from a first homeopathic consultation—and why it goes deep

  • How emotional and life events often correlate with physical symptoms

  • Avghi's recommended homeopathic flu-season support trio:

    • Influenzinum (homeopathic preparation of the current flu strain)

    • Briar Rose (commonly used for respiratory and chest vulnerability)

    • Thymulin / Thymuline (supporting immune and white blood cell function)


  • How and when to take these remedies, including travel and exposure support

  • Why combo remedies can help—and when individualized care is needed

  • Avghi's community work supporting first responders and clinics during the 2025 California fires

  • Building a business as a solopreneur:

    • Early grassroots marketing before social media

    • Why fast follow-up builds trust (and slow follow-up loses opportunities)

    • The importance of visibility, service, and giving back to your field


  • Educational pathways through Avghi's school—from personal learning to professional practice

  • Why every household should have a basic homeopathic first-aid kit
