Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Curbing a Common ColdWhen you feel a cold coming on, reach for echinacea. The dried root and leaves of the purple coneflower can help address the symptoms of the common cold, flu, sore throat, and other simple infections. It can also help you through times of low resistance by enhancing the immune system. Available in tincture, capsule, tablet and extract form, I recommend you look for combination echinacea products (containing both augustifolia and purpurea species) standardized to 4 percent echinacosides. For best efficacy, echinacea should not be used continuously for more than 10 days. Those with autoimmune diseases should use it with caution, and for the shortest period possible. Try one dropperful of tincture in water four times a day, or two capsules of freeze-dried extract four times a day. My Religion is simple.
