Goldenseal/Echinacea is a powerful immune system booster that is a must for every medicine cabinet. This combination is often referred to as nature's antibiotic and is most commonly chosen for use during the cold and flu season.
Goldenseal has long been valued for its ability to soothe inflamed or infected mucous membranes. Traditional Chinese healers give Goldenseal to cancer patients whose immune systems are weakened by chemotherapy treatments. Specifically, Goldenseal may help to: curtail colds, flu and other respiratory infections; reduce symptoms of sinusitis; and ease diarrhea. (You should avoid taking the herb if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and glaucoma or are pregnant or nursing).
The ability of Echinacea to stimulate the immune system is well documented. The polysaccharides found in Echinacea activate the immune system in many ways. It also has direct antibacterial properties. Echinacea has demonstrated to reduce the duration and severity of common cold and flu symptoms. This is an herb that deserves a space in your medicine cabinet. It works wonders in combination with Goldenseal and Zinc lozenges, particularly at the onset of cold/flu symptoms.
This convenient, balanced formula contains an equal proportion of these healing herbs. For a powerful, natural weapon against nasty cold and flu symptoms, take Goldenseal/Echinacea from Olympian Labs.
