Preventing the Cold and Flu with Grandma

When is the real cold and flu season?

Are you sick and tired of dealing with having a cold or a runny nose?
Are you sick and tired of trying to suppress the cough that is almost always there waiting for you to take a deep breath?
Aren’t you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

This article contains information that will brighten your day if you answered yes to any or all of these questions.

It seems as though every season is a season for colds, flues and virus’. In the fall every home beefs up the defense against the cold and flu threat of the season. Then somehow the nearly one third of the healthy homes in the United Sates are attacked. This is probably related to the beginning of the new school year. Sure the weather turns a little cooler but the real culprit is the perfect environment that school provides for students to not only comingle but pass any germs and bacteria that might exist in their homes to the other student in the school. Stress from the holiday season takes a toll on the immune system and seems to extend to flu season through the holidays. Finally the real cold and flu season hits. Bitter cold, warm buildings and moist air provide an atmosphere for virus’ and bacteria to thrive and grow. The winter weather seems to bring on sinus infections, sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes and noses and sleepless nights. That’s why people relate to a famous OTC drug’s advertisement “itchy, scratchy, sneezy, so you can rest medicine” so well.

Since there is not a cure for the common cold and it seems that the flu just has to run its course, the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, really seems to fit. Last month Grandma’s Herbs featured an article on a wonder herb, ASTRAGALUS. The timing was really fortuitous. Astragalus seems to be just as important in boosting the immune system as Echinacea. We have all heard that Echinacea is one of the herbs that really helps to build and strengthen the immune system and thus prevents one from catching the cold or flu in the first place. There are several other herbs that are famous for either building the immune system or for killing bacterial infections like Garlic, Siberian Ginseng, Golden Seal and Reishi Mushroom. Then there are herbs that keep breathing passage ways clear to help keep our immune system oxygenated and running smooth. These herbs are Mullein, Elcampane, and a South American herb called Yerba Santa.

Each of these herbs are very strong by themselves. They have proven themselves amongst the naturalists and the herbalist for centuries to have REAL medicinal benefits. For the last thirty some odd years Grandma’s Herbs has been researching and developing herbal combination that have proven that combining these herbs can be even more effective than each of the herbs individually.

We have also found that when out products are taken together the same thing happens. That’s why we put the Cold and Flu package together. The Cold and Flu package utilizes the powerful herbs in Grandma’s Herbs IMMUNE ENHANCER to boost your immune system and prevent cold and flu attacks. Then the Cold and Flu package reinforces the immune system with Grandma’s Herbs NATURE’S BIOTIC to kill bacterial infections and cold virus’ that slip through the outer defenses. And because the cold weather seems to bring on runny noses, sinus headaches and chest congestion caused by excess mucous we have also included Grandma’s Herbs RESPIRATORY RELIEF. These three products are the three strikes against the colds, flues and bronchial congestion that the cold winter weather always brings on.
