Anas barbariae

Anas barbariae (also known as Oscillococcinum) is believed to have been developed by Joseph Roy in 1925 after he observed a germ that moved in an oscillating manner. He is said to have observed this same movement in the bacterium in the blood of flu victims, which he named oscillococcus. Roy searched for the bacterium until he felt he had found it on the liver of a duck. Roy proposed making a homeopathic preparation with the homeopathic principle that “like cures like” and that a disease can be cured by small amounts of the substance that causes similar symptoms. Today’s modern preparation is created using the dilutions of an extract from the heart and liver of Muscovy duck. This remedy has been a popular flu remedy for over 65 years and is widely used in more than 50 countries.
