Hi there, back again with my weekly blog, hope all is well out there?
I mentioned in my previous post that I have been using Coltsfoot to treat my little ones coughs, I also combine Echinacea and Elecampange to reduse mucus and phlegm, so heres some info about it.
Elecampane is made from the roots of this herb and is known for its antifungle, antibacterial and anti-parasitic effects. It is great for treating the lungs and respiratory infections. The tonic treats the lungs by cleansing and strengthening them. It is also said to treat bronchitis, asthma, sinus infections and allergies. Elecampane mixes well with other herbs, such as Echinacea and Coltsfoot.
Coltsfoot is made from the leaves and flowers from this herb and is a phlegm reducer!! This is also antispasmodic and is especially great for treating cronic coughs with lots of phlegm and stubborn irritating coughs that keep you up all night.
Echinacea is made from the flower and is probably more well known and most used of all the herbal treatments out there. Its helps to make our immune system fight bacteria, viruses and reduce the length of a cold.
I use Natures Answer who maks these tonics as they are available in an alcohol free extract so suitable for the kids.You can get them online from any site and on Amazon so here is the link, Nature’s Answer Echinacea-Goldenseal
Bye for now!
