6 proven summer cold remedies (slideshow)
#6 Take echinacea
Research shows that taking Echinacea is a potent remedy, increasing the number of white blood cells — your germ-fighters — in your body.
If you want to get the most cold and flu-fighting power for your money, buy an echinacea supplement that comes in liquid form. It will be easier for your body to absorb.
You should be able to find liquid echinacea at your local health food store as either a fresh-pressed juice or an alcohol-based tincture. If you choose the juice, it should be standardized to contain 2.4% beta-1, 2-fructofuranosides. The tincture should contain a 5:1 concentration of echinacea.
Experts suggest taking 500-1,000 milligrams of Echinacea three times daily for 5-7 days to kick that summer cold.
Don’t let a summer cold keep you down. Use the six steps above to boost your immune system, decrease congestion and feel better faster.
