Specially formulated for sensitive, young palates. Echinacea. The safe, natural cold & flu-fighter – now in a mild-tasting syrup for kids All the world knows of the powerful efficacy of Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), Purple Coneflower, as the supreme natural antibiotic and universally trusted cold and flu-fighter. But, to date only grown-ups were able to enjoy the benefits. For sensitive young palates the somewhat harsh taste and often strongly alcohol-based character were a big no-no.
Light, mild & gentle The innovative, new Echinacea syrup has been carefully formulated for children from under six years to early teens. (It may also be used by adults who cannot tolerate the strength of a conventional tincture.) Although pleasantly mild to the taste, the syrup still offers all the natural soothing and protective benefits that kids need to ease the miseries of sneezing and wheezing, sniffles, blocked noses, runny noses, scratchy throats, fevers and infections.
Increases resistance For centuries, Echinacea has been successfully used in Europe, to treat fevers and infections, and even more serious conditions such as typhoid, meningitis and malaria. Since the 1930's, European-based research has gone on to show today's world that echinacea is a safe, natural antibiotic, often more powerful than modern medications.
Clears mucus, supports lymph-cleansing Echinacea appears to act as the body's own anti-viral defence by increasing the power of the surrounding cells to fight off infection. Used during times of stress, Echinacea helps to strengthen the immune system, making it easier to knock out colds, flu and other infections. Echinacea is also enormously helpful in breaking down stored lymph mucus. As a great deal of waste is released into the bloodstream when the body is under attack, Echinacea acts as an excellent lymph-cleanser.
Why do children catch colds? Young children are extremely vulnerable to colds. Experts say that the very young can catch anything from five to as many as ten colds a year. Kiddies catch colds because their immune systems are not fully developed, so they cannot fight-off colds as well as adults do. Add to that, the fact that young children are not hot on handwashing (and it's also virtually impossible to keep their finger's away from noses and eyes). Because of this, parents and childcare workers catch more colds than other adults. However, there is an up side. With time, defences do improve and everybody catches fewer colds. In certain studies, it emerged that young children in daycare programmes had 60% more colds than those at home. But, the daycare kids eventually scored with major big gains in immunity.
