Is there such a thing?
Of course there is, and it will probably be made by you (not bought). What you’re looking for here is a simple infusion – a tea infusion if you will.
A hot cup of green tea infused with a robust dose of echinacea is a great way to keep your immune system strong and help prevent coming down with that ever dreaded common cold. By using a simple combination of two highly supported “immune boosters” such as green tea and echinacea on a daily basis, not only do you stand to shorten and lessen the severity of cold and flu symptoms, but you could even fortify an immune system that may prevent coming down with these symptoms entirely. By either using dried echinacea, an echinacea tincture, or fresh echinacea from your garden in your morning tea, this great herb could be the “ounce of prevention” you were looking fore.
Perhaps one of the soundest cornerstones of holistic medicine, the almost philosophic belief in emphasizing prevention over the treatment of disease alone, maintaining a healthy lifestyle still stands as one of the best ways to prevent contracting serious symptoms from what should be otherwise simple and common diseases. Both green tea and echinacea, though still the subjects of passionate scientific study, are herbal remedies that have found use as powerful preventative tools against the symptoms of colds and flu.
