Non-drowsy Cold Formula for relief of cold symptoms.
If cold and flu season has turned you into a mucousy mess, you want something that works fast. You’ve tried everything from lizard soup to an onion in your socks! There are lots of natural remedies out there, but one of the best we’ve found is traditional Chinese medicine.
Health First Cold Defense is a unique combination of traditional Chinese herbs that attack your cold from all angles. Andrographis is added to reduce symptoms, ginseng to flush toxins, Huo Xiang to support the respiratory system, and astragalus to build immunity. Last but not least, Fang Feng defends against future infections!
Features & Benefits:
- Non-drowsy formula
- For prevention and relief of cold and flu symptoms
- Helps to maintain immune function
1. We are exposed to a multitude of bacteria and pathogens daily. Our own healthy immune systems protect us from most of these invaders. However, when our immune system is weakened with stress, trauma, poor nutrition, overeating, tiredness, or intoxication, we leave vulnerabilities in our immune system, leaving us more susceptible to colds or flu.
2. When a cold or flu gets past our immune system, it often affects our stomach. Not only can we experience stomach upset, but the digestive ability of the stomach is weakened. A weakened digestive system makes fighting a cold or flu that much more difficult.
3. Cold-Defense helps the body deal with a cold or flu in several ways. The herb Huo Xiang helps to settle and strengthen the stomach. Next, Andrographis begins to neutralize the invading virus with its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Meanwhile, the formula’s Ginseng and Astragalus
re-strengthen the immune system and act as energy for the Andrographis.
4. An important element of the Cold-Defense formula is one overlooked by similar formulas. Overcoming the infection with herbs such as Andrographis is not enough. The infection’s toxins must be released from the body or they will hide in the tissues adversely affecting long-term health. The Fang Feng in Cold-Defense helps the body open its natural channels for expelling
the toxins, which also reduces related neck and shoulder pains.
