EAST MEETS WEST! Combine These Remedies to Decrease Symptoms of Cold & Flu Print email this page

Western Cold & Flu Remedies> A recent study shows the potential for NAC or N-acetylcysteine to prevent (when it is taken regularly) or minimize flu symptoms by its mucus-thinning action and ability to ameliorate head, muscle and joint aches. Vitamin A is often overlooked for its role in the proper functioning of the immune system - it stimulates white blood cell function and antibody response, and it protects the body’s mucus membranes. Osha Root is well known in the Southwest for soothing throats. An excellent formula with osha is a liquid extract, Basic Biotic. Let the bitter tasting liquid coat your throat several times a day. Zinc lozenges can fight a sore throat as well. To keep your sinuses open BHI Sinus Relief Nasal Spray has a convenient applicator and homeopathic ingredients. Herbal cough syrups in combination with Chinese formulas (see below) work to keep the lungs clear. Try Wellness Cough Syrup from Source Naturals.

 

Chinese Cold & Flu Remedies by Bryan Flamm, Doctor of Oriental Medicine Cold Snap by the Oriental Herb Company (OHCO) is a highly effective variation of the traditional Chinese cold and flu remedy Yin Chiao. It is extremely effective to prevent or stop a cold. Gan Mao Ling is another effective formula for flu; it contains anti-viral herbs and is indicated when chills, fever, sore throat and upperbody stiffness is present. Simple nasal congestion is addressed by Bi Yan Pian. For cold and flu symptoms that include neck and shoulder stiffness and body aches, Pueraria Combination from Golden Flower Herb Co., is another good choice. It is also effective for sinus congestion and sinusitis. Bronchial and lung congestion is helped by the Chinese patent herb formula Clean Air Tea (Pinellia Root pills) which helps loosen sticky phlegm and aids expectoration. Another favorite of mine for stubborn cases of bronchial congestion, cough and phlegm is San She Dan which comes in a box with 6 liquid vials. (contains sugar) Take 2-3 vials daily.
