How it works
Echinacea has been extensively investigated and is known to have a variety of actions on the immune system, including elevation of serum white blood cell count (when numbers are low), promotion of non-specific T-cell activation (leading to a range of other activities including increased activity of natural killer cells and stimulating the release of interferon), enhancement of macrophage activity, as well as having antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Vitamin C relieves colds by reducing the severity and duration of symptoms such as coughs and sneezes. Eucalyptus oil is a traditional remedy to help soothe and cool sore and inflamed throats.
