Hi Cici! I would take the Echinacea Tincture SEPARATELY. ALL 5 Herbs should be in the Super Tonic to be MOST EFFECTIVE, and using Vinegar as the Solvent, instead of Alcohol, which is NORMALLY used in Tinctures. If you ONLY have those 2 Herbs (Garlic and Habanero Peppers) to make a Cold/Flu Tonic, then you have picked the 2 MOST IMPORTANT Herbs in Dr. Schulze 's Super Tonic!!
"THANKS" for your Questions!
