These six herbs work synergistically to create a formulation to support the body’s natural immune system and to relieve symptoms of cold and fever.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

Colds and flu are generally thought to be due to viral or bacterial infections, but are often associated with stress, fatigue, depression and excess cold or heat. A cold is the general term for inflammation of the respiratory mucous membranes. Common symptoms of a cold and/or flu include fever, cough, bronchitis, sore throat, nasal stuffiness, excess phlegm, headache, and muscle pain. The treatment for a cold is mainly relief of symptoms. The herbs in Cold & Fever help control the symptoms of a cold and/or flu while the antibacterial agents attack the unfriendly bacteria, allowing the body’s immune system to restore balance and the body to become healthy again.
