What Can I Do About Colds and Flu?
When you get the flu your body becomes a battlefield. Your defence system sends all the alarm bells ringing and rallies your troops to fight off the invaders. And just as in a real-world battlefield, soldiers get armour, the commanders mount massive artillery barrages to overwhelm the enemy. Ambushes are set up and reinforcements continuously rushed to weak points in the defences.
Your body does the same. It too needs reinforcements, it needs more ammunition to continue the fight to victory. And this vital help comes from herbs such as Echinacea. Echinacea can increase the number of white blood cells (soldiers). Some of these are like 'Pacman' and gobble up the invaders and thus shorten the severity and length of the infection.
Just as on a real-life battlefield they bring in Special Forces you can do the same in your body. You do this with antioxidants. Antioxidants provide superior protection to your cells while the battle is raging. This also helps to lessen the severity of the attack and speed up recovery time.
Or put in another way, Echinacea is one of the primary remedies for helping the body rid itself of microbial infections. It is often effective against both bacterial and viral attacks, and may be used in conditions such as boils, septicaemia and similar infections. In conjunction with other herbs and Antioxidants it is used for any infection anywhere in the body. For example in combination with yarrow or Bearberry it will effectively stop cystitis. It is especially useful for infections of the upper respiratory tract such as laryngitis, tonsillitis and for catarrhal conditions to the nose and sinus.
This all points to the conclusion that its action relate to immune system functioning on some level, helping deal with infections and stimulating the immune response. In general it may be used widely and safely.
Many people using Echinacea with Antioxidants boast they haven't had a cold or flu for five years... So at last, there is a way to prevent and relieve flu this winter!
To be most effective, nutritional supplements work better in combination. It may be more beneficial to take a variety of Herbs or Nutrients for more rapid and complete healing...
