...a time-honored/tested herb that strengthens and bolsters our immune system to fight WHATEVER our body knows needs to be fought. One doesn't have to know what the invacer is or what is wrong...echinacea give the body's immune system a super charge!
(Also note, in the links below, Southern Botanicals & Dr. Schulze sells a child version...but it's not necessarily. All you need to do is get a high-quality echinacea tincture, adjust the dose to 'child size' and mix it with a bit of maple syrup or honey.)
If you give/take echinacea at the onset of virtually ANY fever or illness, and take it every four-six hours, you'll probably NEVER have any type of infectious illness again.
A good quality Echinacea tincture is a "must have" in EVERY medicine stash. We've been married now almost 11 years, and between us we've only had 3 colds and one bout of the flu...and ALL were because we didn't take our Vitamin C/Echinace soon enough (we thought we could wait until the next morning).
Here's some links where you can buy the 'good stuff' and read lots more about it :)
(It is VERY important to get high-quality, organic tinctures; good echincea will numb your tongue slightly. If it doesn't do that, it's basicaly a waste of money).
