🌿 Into the heart of... Echinacea.
.
⚕️ Echinacea is considered as one of the primary remedies for assisting the body in clearing infection and strengthening the overall efficiency of the immune system.
.
🤧 History and evidence show it reduces the severity and duration of symptoms. Echinacea is effective where individuals have become ‘run-down’ as a result of stress or over-work.
.
🌱 Good quality Echinacea leaves a wonderful tingle on your tongue - coming from the wonderfully named isobutylamides. These phytochemicals have been shown to engage with our endocannabinoid system, exerting a regulatory response to the human immune system.

❓ Did you know... Ginger.
.
🌍 At some point in history Ginger was the most valuable natural commodity. The dried rhizome, carried long distances from Asia to Europe, was worth more than its weight in gold.
.
💰 It was so highly in demand that it was made extinct in the wild 2,000 years ago. Ever since, it has lost its capacity to seed itself and is grown only from rootstock. This may be the first known case of humans causing a plant extinction.
.
🌿 At present, most of the world's Ginger is grown in India, China and Nigeria. Over 2 million tonnes a year!

Expert Opinion: Cold and Flu (Part 2)
In the second part of this week's Expert Opinion on Cold and Flu, we explore herbal treatment strategies.

There are a number of ways to treat the symptoms of cold and flu (some may even be quite surprising):

• Fasting: Fasting can help to clear the digestive tract and any accumulated toxicity. Taking a liquid diet of vegetable broths or just hot ginger water can stimulate the digestive metabolism.
• Sweating: Encouraging a sweat using a simple spicy herbal tea and traditional diaphoretic herbs will increase body temperature and dilate the blood vessels. The sweating process clears toxins and raises the body temperature to a point that kills the virus.
• Detoxification: Mildly stimulate your bowels. This will encourage a digestive cleanse, any built up congestion or toxicity within the digestive tract will clear, helping to re-balance the digestive metabolism.
• Rebuild digestion: Follow with a preventative regime that will reduce the chances of a reoccurrence. Use strong digestive herbs to promote digestion and burn out toxins such as fennel or triphala.
• Nourishing & rejuvenating diet: Return to a nourishing and wholesome diet to keep the digestive tract healthy.
