Actions & Uses: For the treatment
of colds and flu — especially
when aggravated by congestive nasal and respiratory symptoms. Can also
be used as a strengthening, preventative tonic for those who catch colds
and flu easily.
Dose: Acute: Three to five times per
day, take 30 to 40 drops in water or Diaphoretic Tea. If this treatment
is started at the very first sign of symptoms, the cold or flu can usually
be aborted within 12 to 24 hours. In persistent cases, adding 30 to
40 drops of Echinacea Extract to the above doses is often helpful. Preventative
Tonic: Take 30 to 40 drops in water, three times per day; especially
indicated during the change of seasons or anytime an impending flu or
cold is suspected.
Adjunct Therapy: Diaphoretic (“Sweating”)
Tea: Made with equal parts Elder flowers, Yarrow flowers, and Peppermint
leaves. Pour 16 ounces of boiling water over 2 heaping tablespoons of
tea blend, cover and let steep for 20 minutes; strain, and drink while
still hot. Note: Keep body and feet warm and covered, and do not go
out into the cold for at least one hour after drinking this tea.
Cautions: Sometimes colds and flu can turn into pneumonia,
strep throat, ear infections, or other serious complications —
be on the lookout for this. In cases of high or persistent fever or
other serious symptoms, promptly seek qualified healthcare.
