Just wondering if any of you use the herb Echinacea?? I only recently discovered how powerful it is with colds/flu.
I took it during my last cold and it only lasted about 2 days versus the usual week. And my son who is VERY prone to bronchitis/pneumonia/earinfections due to his asthma usually gets very sick even with the slightest sniffle.
So, I started noticing the beginnings of a cold the other day and gave him echinacea mixed in w/ his milk. Well, 3 days later and NO COLD and NO COUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo excited, relieved, and amazed. I did a bit of research on the web, and it seems a lot of other people use this as well for their children during the cold season. There are no side effects, and if used for about a week at the beginning of a cold, it seems to really make a big difference.
Anyone else use it or know anything about it????
