[gymdandee]

Take mullein.This is effective in addressing many seasonal respiratory concerns. Products are available as tinctures, oils, powders, lozenges, capsules,and extracts select brands that are 100 percent pure mullein. For congestion and dry cough, try a dropperful of tincture in a little warm water every four hours. Mullein is safe for adults, but do not give mullein to young children for coughs. For adult ear problems, try a few drops of mullein oil, slightly warmed, directly in the ear. As with any supplement, pregnant women should discuss mullein with their doctor before use.
As for the cold try COLD-fX most drug stores and health food stores have it.
ways to strengthen your immune system
One of the best ways to stave off germs is to build a strong immune
system. Sugar. Eliminate it from your diet! Allergies. Since infections often
have an allergic trigger, you should consider allergy elimination or desensitization. Mushrooms. The principal active ingredients in maitake and shiitake mushrooms are polysaccharides that are known to improve the body’s germ-fighting abilities. Aloe vera. The plant’s active ingredients also contain immunestimulating polysaccharides. Try taking 50 to 100 mg daily of aloe leaf concentrate containing 1 percent or more acemannan. Beta-glucan. Adults should take 50 to 100 mg daily. Garlic. Fresh, raw garlic has a broad spectrum of antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral
effects. Eat one garlic clove daily (about 4 grams), or take a garlic
supplement that contains at least 10 mg of alliin. Multivitamin-mineral. Use everyday as research has shown that it can
reduce overall illness, including infection especially once you’re over 60. Vitamin A. Adults can take 15,000 to 25,000 IU daily. Children can take 5,000 to 10,000 IU daily. (And pregnant women should always check
with their doctors.) Zinc. Adults and teens can take 30 mg of zinc (picolinate or citrate) daily. Children 2 years old and up can take 15 mg daily. Vitamin E. Take 400 IU as mixed tocopherols daily for adults, and
50 to 400 IU daily for children. Vitamin C. Adults should take 1 gram (1,000 mg) two or three times a day, and children should take a minimum of 20 mg per pound of body weight. Echinacea. Take 300 to 600 mg daily of an Echinacea preparation containing 3.5 percent echinacoside. Astragalus, Andrographus, and Picrorrhiza. Take 2 to 6 g of dried Astragalus root or dried Andrographus daily. Take 500 mg to 2 g daily of Picrorrhiza.
