AAACCCHHHOOOO!!!!!!!!
The seasons must be changing.
It’s just about inevitable for me. With the coming of a change in weather, I get stuck with the sniffles and sneezes and coughs to go with it. Not my idea of fun.
Plus, the cotton fields are just beginning to bloom (a favorite photo backdrop of mine) and I need my health and energy up and running swimmingly for all the “could be, maybe” photo opps that happen as we drive alongside acres of beauty.
Not to mention, I would sure like to gaze at the sky from the inside of my tent and not be concerned with any type of common ailment. (It’s just about time for our yearly camping trip…. can you say excited? I can…it sounds like WOO HOO!) (I really enjoy camping)
But alas,
Today I sit in front of my computer, with the sniffles and sneezes and coughs to go with it.
Here are four herbs, that you can cap yourself at home, to boost your immune system and kick that cough to the curb.
For you…
Cap ‘Em Yourself Series: Part 6
Cold Relief
Combine Equal Parts of the following herbs:
ASTRAGALUS
Astragalus is a root that comes from the pea family. Studies have shown that Astragalus works for colds due to the possession of antiviral properties, and also to have a beneficial impact on your T-cell activity. The T-cells play an important role in regulating your immune system and making sure it is in tip-top shape.
CAT’S CLAW
Traditionally, Cat’s Claw has always been used to treat a variety of viral infections from colds and flu, and even eye infections to the healing of diseases such as lupus and arthritis. Cat’s Claw will help to boost the immune and get you feeling better fast.
ECHINACEA
No doubt, already in every natural herbal mommy’s medicine cabinet, echinacea is a “must have” to keep you and your family healthy through the cold and flu season. A member of the daisy family Echinacea has shown to cut the chance of catching a cold in half, and if you already have one, it can cut the length of short by an average of 1.4 days. Pretty amazing, I think
ELDERBERRY
A highly effective remedy for the treatment of a cold and flu, elderberries are the last and final addition to the these little cold caps. If you wild harvest yourself, simply dry and grind them. Elderberries can be bought in a powder form already to add to your caps as well.
Store in a cool dry place.
