Winters coming! Boost your immune system
Susan Brannon
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is known to help boost your immune system, and has been used for centuries. It helps to prevent upper respiratory infection when taken for several months. However! When you buy the traditional Chinese ginseng, do not take it when you have a cold because the products vary in potency.
“Indian echinacea,” can help to reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms, and it also might help prevent upper respiratory infections, It also appears to help boost your immune system. The average dosage is 400mg per day.
Echinacea many studies support the fact that echinacea is an effective aid for preventing and treating colds, flu and other infections. It can help to fight infections by stimulating your immune cells. It works best when taken frequently at the first sign of infection: 30 to 60 drops of liquid extract or 1 to 2 capsules (300 to 400 mg each) every two hours for the first 24 to 48 hours, followed by the same dosage four times daily for three days after symptoms disappear.
Don't forget vitamin C! about500 mg per day.
Have a nice winter
