How it works:

Echinacea: traditionally used for relief of common cold symptoms in Western herbal medicine

Based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine, echinacea relieves symptoms of common colds and flu including nasal congestion, runny nose and mild fever.

Echinacea is also traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support the immune system to fight illness (like the symptoms of common colds) and to relieve symptoms of mild tonsillitis. Plus, echinacea decreases the length of common colds.

Balloonflower: traditionally taken to relieve coughs in Chinese medicine

In Chinese medicine, the herb balloonflower is traditionally used to relieve common cold symptoms including cough. Balloonflower also clears mucus in the respiratory tract and enhances lung health, based on traditional use in Chinese medicine.

Forsythia and Japanese catnip

Oriental Botanicals Cold & Flu also includes forsythia, which is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce common cold and flu symptoms including headaches and mild fever, when the symptom pattern of wind-heat exists.

This comprehensive formula also contains Japanese catnip, which is traditionally taken in Chinese medicine to relieve sore throat, mild fever and headaches, when a symptom pattern known as external wind-cold exists.

Plus, honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is also combined with the above herbs in Oriental Botanicals Cold & Flu, and is a popular Chinese herbal medicine which has been used for centuries. Honeysuckle is often taken alongside forsythia in Chinese medicine.
