For years people have dreamt of a cure for the common cold. So you can go and get your flu jab and fill yourself with Lemsip and Beechams once the inevitable winter cold bites, but why fill your body with chemicals when there’s a fantastic herbal remedy out there that can solve the problem for you?
Echinacea is growing in popularity, and is even being added to smoothies at some juice and smoothie bars as part of immune system boosting drinks. The reason why it’s become so popular is because it works!
Most people know that the best defence is a good offence, and this can be true with echinaea. A lot of people get more colds round this time of year because they get more run down with all the running around and making preparations for Christmas time they’re doing, so when the cold and flu bugs are at their best, your immune system becomes less effective giving the viruses the upper hand from the offset. Taking a low daily dose of echinacea throughout the winter therefore boosts your immune system to help your body fight off their advances before they get chance to cause you misery.
