Echinacea Goldenseal Compound by Herb Pharm

Echinacea Goldenseal is a foundational immune system herbal formula that features two main ingredients – echinacea and goldenseal – prepared from Certified Organic Echinacea purpurea plants and the rhizome of Certified Organic Hydrastis Canadensis plants respectively. It should be noted that since Goldenseal is a threatened plant, the manufacturer only uses cultivated Goldenseal as a means to preserve the wild-growing populations of the plant. To retrieve a wide range of plant compounds, the herbs are individually extracted. Among the primary uses of the formula is the strengthening of the immune system, enabling the body to resist disease. When it comes to the flavor profile of the product, expect a combination that comprises of the bitterness of Goldenseal and a tingling sensation from Echinacea.

How Echinacea Goldenseal Works

The formula owes its effectiveness in its primary components – echinacea and goldenseal. Echinacea (aka American coneflower) is a very popular herb that is mainly used to help fight the common cold and flu symptoms. Researchers also claim that the herb encourages the immune system and diminishes the symptoms of several diseases, illnesses, and conditions. The echinacea species used in the Echinacea Goldenseal formula is Echinacea purpurea, which has a complex mix of active substances that are believed to have an effect on the human immune system. Among the compounds found in all species of echinacea are phenols that protect the plant from UV radiation damage and infections. This means that phenols have potent antioxidant properties that could be beneficial to human health. Also, echinacea contains alkamides and alkymides that are said to fortify the immune system.

As for goldenseal, it is a traditional healing herb used by Native Americans (the Cherokee) to improve appetite, treat local inflammations, and for indigestion. Others used it for heart problems, fevers, liver disorders, and whooping cough. The herb was listed in the US Pharmacopoeia until 1926.

Health Benefits of Echinacea

Echinacea is now widely used across the globe for a plethora of conditions, infections, and illnesses. Some of these (still anecdotal) uses include:

  • Migraine
  • Gum disease
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Acid indigestion
  • Rheumatism Infections (streptococcus, septicemia, vaginal yeast, and urinary tract)
  • Flu
  • Pain
  • Genital herpes
  • Dizziness
  • Diphtheria

Health Benefits of Goldenseal

Goldenseal, on the other hand, has potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic properties. This means that it can help combat both fungal disorders and bacterial infections, and it is also known as a remedy for conjunctivitis, earache, pruritus, ringworm, and eczema. It may also be used for mouth ulcers and gum disease (as mouthwash), for vaginal issues (as a douche), and middle-ear inflammation (as ear drops).

That aside, goldenseal is also considered a tonic for the mucous membranes. For that reason, in many instances, it is used as a remedy for disorders of the upper respiratory tract and many digestive disorders as it is believed to not only stimulate the healthy flow of mucus in the human body but also giving it (the mucus) valuable antibiotic qualities. In cases of excessive mucus, goldenseal can also be used to reduce the flow of mucus.

Goldenseal is part of many remedies that help combat flu and colds. If goldenseal is taken at the first signs of respiratory-related problems, it can contribute to the development of symptoms even further. But the beneficial effects of goldenseal do not stop here. In fact, it has also been used to:

  • Help reduce fevers
  • Relieve congestion
  • Cleanse the glands
  • Promote healthy glandular functions (by boosting the production of digestive enzymes and bile flow as a means to help regulate healthy spleen and liver functions).
  • Fight uterine conditions (i.e., hemorrhage during labor).
  • Stimulate the uterus for effective contractions during labor.
  • Help treat candida albicans (by limiting the capacity of harmful bacteria to take over the gut microbiome).
  • Combat mucous membrane infection (i.e., the sinus, lining of the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, genito-urinary tract)
  • Treat diarrhea caused by salmonella, cholera, food poisoning, E.coli, and giardiasis.
  • Fight bacteria, Streptococci, fungi, and protozoa.
  • Promote easier bacteria removal by inhibiting their capacity to adhere to surfaces of the human tissue.

Echinacea Goldenseal Ingredients

The formula contains a certified organic extract blend of:

Echinacea purpurea (root)

Goldenseal rhizome with rootlet

Cane alcohol (48-58%)

It also contains distilled water.

Notes:

  • Do NOT use if you have hypoglycemia.
  • Taken over a long time, it may deplete vitamin B. Some supplementation might be required.
  • The formula may potentially disrupt normal bowel flora if taken over the long term. Lactobacillus supplements may be necessary.
  • Always consult your healthcare practitioner before taking any dietary or nutritional supplement, especially if you are pregnant, lactating, or taking medications.
  • The recommended dosage is 30-40 drops in a little water 2-5 times a day unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare practitioner.
  • For children, it is best to use another kid-specific supplement, such as Gaia Kids Echinacea Goldenseal.

Goldenseal for Upper Respiratory Infections | 2000-05-01

May 2000; Volume 3; 56-58

By Dónal P. O’Mathúna, PhD

Goldenseal remains one of the most popular herbs sold in the United States. In the first eight months of 1999, sales of echinacea and goldenseal, often formulated together, ranked fifth among herbal remedies sold through mainstream markets.1 If your patients use herbal remedies, there’s a good chance they take goldenseal as a “natural antibiotic” to treat and prevent colds and flu.

History and Harvesting

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is a member of the buttercup family. It is a low-growing herbaceous perennial, characterized by a bright yellow rhizome (or underground thickened stem), from which it gets its name. Other common names include golden root, eye root, and ground raspberry, because of its small red fruit. It grows naturally in the woodland areas across much of the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Overharvesting of goldenseal in the 1980s and early 1990s led to concerns that it was becoming an endangered species, especially as it was difficult to cultivate. Much progress has since been made in this area, leading to significantly expanded agricultural acreage.2

Folklore

Native American tribes (including the Cherokee, Iroquois, Crow, Seminole, and Blackfoot) commonly used this herb as a diuretic and stimulant, as a treatment for stomach ulcers, and as a wash for irritated eyes and mouth sores. It was also an important source of yellow dye. European settlers first mentioned it in 1804 as a powerful “bitter” to increase appetite and facilitate digestion, and as a mouth and eye wash. 3 Goldenseal was enthusiastically promoted by the Eclectic medical doctors, who focused on herbal remedies and gave many American herbs their first scientific evaluations by carefully observing and recording their effects.3 Many Eclectics were critical of overblown claims about goldenseal, such as its alleged ability to cure cancer.

With the decline of the Eclectics in the 1930s, goldenseal’s use dropped off in the United States. Recent interest in goldenseal began when it was reported during the 1970s that oral ingestion would mask morphine in drug urinalysis. These claims have been shown to be without scientific merit, but they persist, and have broadened to include masking of marijuana and cocaine.4

Official Recommendation and Current Use

Goldenseal was officially approved as a medicinal herb in the United States Pharmacopoeia (1830-1840 and 1860-1926), and in the National Formulary (1888 and 1936-1955).3

Many pharmaceutical companies sold the root and preparations of it until the early 20th century. Goldenseal is now sold as a cure-all type of herb to prevent and treat colds and flu, strengthen the immune system, potentiate insulin, cleanse vital organs, and promote the functioning capacity of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, and colon.

Pharmacology

The active ingredients in goldenseal are a group of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, the most abundant of which are berberine and hydrastine. Alkaloids are a diverse group of alkaline nitrogen-containing compounds made by many plants from a small group of amino acids. Many have pharmacological activity. The chloride salt of berberine is responsible for goldenseal’s yellow color. Most of goldenseal’s alleged medicinal effects have been linked to berberine, with recent studies confirming the lack of antibacterial activity of other constituents.5

The active ingredients in goldenseal belong to the group of plant chemicals called:

a. flavonoids.

b. diterpenes.

c. alkaloids.

d. steroids.


Mechanism of Action

The mode of action of goldenseal and berberine in humans is not understood well. Berberine (also isolated from barberry, Oregon grape root, golden thread, and several Chinese herbs) has antimicrobial effects, inhibiting the adherence of microorganisms to host cells.5 Berberine has in vitro antimicrobial activity against a wide variety of microbes, including Bacillus, Streptococcus, and Candida organisms.6 Antiviral activity has not been reported for berberine.

Goldenseal is believed to relieve colds and flu by increasing the flow of mucous and causing the release of more antibodies.7 Goldenseal allegedly acts in humans as an “alterative,” an herbalist’s term for substances that gradually produce beneficial changes in the body by stimulating natural healing processes. In this case, goldenseal’s GI effects are said to result from “increasing deficient flow but decreasing excessive flow” of various mucous secretions. 7

Animal Studies

One animal study examined goldenseal’s effect on the rat immune system.8 Animals given goldenseal in their drinking water showed significantly elevated IgM antibody levels compared to control rats during the first two weeks, but not in the four subsequent weeks. Levels of IgA antibodies did not differ between the two groups.

Another animal study provides some support for goldenseal’s relief of cold symptoms.9 Mice with drug-induced diabetes were fed a diet containing 6.25% by weight of goldenseal to investigate its reputation as a natural diabetes treatment. No significant changes in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were detected, but hyperphagia and polydipsia were significantly reduced.

Clinical Studies

A search of MEDLINE, TOXLINE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (using the terms goldenseal, golden seal, hydrastis, and berberine) found no clinical studies using goldenseal. Several goldenseal monographs also were consulted, and none reported clinical studies. A clinical study of giardiasis and berberine found it active against Vibrio cholerae, protozoa, and fungi.10

Goldenseal contains 2-4% of berberine, so one would have to take 26 commercial 500 mg goldenseal capsules daily to obtain the berberine dose typically given in the referenced clinical studies. Twenty-six capsules (or 13 g) daily far exceeds the usual recommended dose.7

The active ingredient in goldenseal has shown activity as an:

a. insulin-regulating compound.

b. antibacterial agent.

c. estrogen replacement agent.

d. antiviral agent.


Formulation

Goldenseal reportedly enhances the effects of echinacea and is frequently added to other herbal preparations. It is available as dried root and rhizome in capsules, tinctures, extracts, tablets, salves, and ointments. For colds and flu, one or two 500 mg capsules are recommended 2-3 times daily. Alternatively, one teaspoonful of herb (the contents of 2 or 3 capsules) or tincture can be added to a cup of boiling water to make a tea taken three times daily. Stronger mixtures are recommended for external use only.

Adverse Effects

Large doses or prolonged use of goldenseal can cause nausea, vomiting, paresthesia, hypertension, and respiratory failure. Fatalities have been reported.11 Goldenseal (10 capsules; strength not reported) is one of several berberine-containing herbs used as abortifacients.7 Berberine displaces serum-bound bilirubin, raising blood levels and increasing the risk of brain damage in infants with previously raised bilirubin levels.12

Adulteration

Widespread use of goldenseal has led to over-collection and deforestation of the plant, leading to high prices and adulteration with less expensive berberine-producing herbs.13 These include Chinese goldthread (Coptis chinensis), yellow root (Xanthorhiza simplicissima), and Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium or Berberis vulgaris), which have different overall effects. Oregon grape in particular has been associated with adverse effects, especially diarrhea, nephritis, confusion, and stupor.14 The European Union’s drug regulating agency in 1996 listed Oregon grape as an Herbal Drug with Serious Risks because of its berberine content.7

Conclusion

The likely active ingredient in goldenseal has in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic activity. However, its systemic efficacy, especially against viral infections, remains unproven. One animal study showed it may induce short-lasting immune system stimulation.

Recommendation

Given goldenseal’s serious adverse effects, its popular use for colds and flu appears unwarranted. Goldenseal certainly should not be used during pregnancy or lactation. Traditional usage has primarily been as a topical antimicrobial, and berberine does have broad antimicrobial activity. Ironically, goldenseal has fallen prey to the same tendency toward overuse as have prescription antibiotics, resulting in endangerment of the plant’s wild variety.

Which group of patients should most certainly limit or avoid use of goldenseal?

a. Older men

b. Teenagers

c. Immunosuppressed adults

d. Pregnant women

Echinacea Goldenseal Root Supplements | Benefits & Uses

What is Echinacea / Goldenseal?

Echinacea / Goldenseal formulations combine two flowering herbs, native to North America, that have long been used in traditional Native American wellness practices. Modern herbalism focuses mostly on these herbs’ ability to stimulate and modulate immune function, especially during changes of season when the immune system may be under greater stress. **

Echinacea (also known as purple coneflower) contains a range of immune-promoting compounds including polysaccharides, flavonoids and alkaloids. Echinacea is believed to help the immune system contend with both specific and nonspecific reactions. Goldenseal’s beneficial qualities are largely due to the presence of the compound berberine, along with alkaloids canadine and hydrastine. Goldenseal’s beneficial properties were noted as early as 1804 by settlers who used the herb to assist with digestive issues.**

Together, these two traditional herbs work to modulate inflammation, support immunity & stimulate immune cell activity.** For these beneficial actions, echinacea  goldenseal is primarily used to optimize immune health.**

Echinacea / Goldenseal Supplements

Echinacea / Goldenseal supplements are extremely popular, especially for the millions of Americans who contend with seasonal immune challenges every year. Echinacea / Goldenseal supplements supply the same botanical compounds that have been used in folk practices for hundreds of years, but in potent, standardized forms that are precisely calibrated for efficacy. Taking the herbs together broadens the range of active immune-promoting constituents, thereby supplying greater support for natural defenses. In other words, Echinacea and Goldenseal are believed to work well together.

Life-saving drugs can, at times, pose serious health risks too! Take antibiotics for example. These are the most common drugs prescribed to treat bacterial infections. A recent study has revealed that some of the commonly used antibiotics have been found to cause serious cardiovascular problems.

USE OF COMMON ANTIBIOTICS CAN CAUSE HEART AILMENTS: RESEARCH

According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, users of some of the common antibiotics like Fluoroquinolone poses 2.4 times higher risk of developing cardiac ailments. This drug has initially also under the scanner of US Food and Drug Administration. That was due to its detrimental effects on mental health. It was also found to drastically reduce your blood sugar level leading to coma.

Coming back to this recent research, use of this class of drugs has been found to cause two types of cardiovascular problems namely aortic and mitral regurgitation. In aortic regurgitation, your heart’s aortic valve doesn’t close tightly leading to the back flow of blood in the left ventricle. This is characterized by symptoms like irregular pulse, shortness of breath, fatigue, fainting etc. However, mitral regurgitation occurs when heart’s mitral valve doesn’t close tightly, leading to backward flow of blood in your heart. This condition is characterized by signs like fatigue, heart palpitation, swollen feet, abnormal heart sound etc.

For the study, the scientists looked at the data of 125,020 subjects. Among these, 12,505 were found to be suffering from valvular regurgitation after exposure to fluoroquinolone, a class of antibiotics. Scientists have explained that overuse of antibiotics is making bacteria resistant to them. And this is what allow them to invade your body and lead to adverse effects like heart conditions.

WHAT ARE ANTIBIOTICS?

As already mentioned, antibiotics are the medicines that are prescribed to treat bacterial infections. The first natural antibiotic was discovered in the year 1928. It is known as penicillin. Usually, whenever bacteria try to invade your body, your immune cells (white blood cells) attack and kill them before they multiply and cause symptoms. However, in some cases, when the number of harmful bacteria is too high, it becomes a bit difficult for your immune system to fight them off. In that case, antibiotics are useful. They actually interfere with the cell wall formation of the bacteria.

NATURAL SUBSTITUTES FOR ANTIBIOTICS

Antibiotics fall in the category of most overused drugs. Not only do doctors prescribe them unnecessarily, we also use over-the counter antibiotics quite indiscriminately. That’s why antibiotic resistance has become a global threat, making the treatment of diseases like TB dangerously tough. Popping antibiotics indiscriminately can have other serious health impacts as well.

In case of easily treatable conditions, you can use some natural alternatives to antibiotics after consulting your doctor. Some natural substances, which you generally use on a daily basis are jam-packed with antibacterial properties and, they can potentially help you fight against bacterial infection. Here, we give you a list of natural antibiotics.

Rx: You can directly ingest it after soaking the cloves in olive oil, if you can. Consuming two garlic cloves is considered as the acceptable dosage. Opting for more can potentially lead to bleeding. Notably, in case you are on bloods thinning medications, consult your doctors before having garlic cloves.

Honey The anti-bacterial effects of honey are due to the presence of a compound called hydrogen peroxide in it. Shutterstock

Used as an ointment from a long time now, honey has been found to be effective in healing wounds and keeping infections at bay, says a study published in the journal Complementary Medicine Research.

How to bake a pie on a baking sheet – Good Health

For novice bakers, making a pie from scratch can be one of the most difficult tasks. If you’ve never done this before, chances are you have more than just a baking pan lying around. Fortunately

Contents

For novice bakers, making a pie from scratch can be one of the most difficult tasks.If you’ve never done this before, chances are you have more than just a baking pan lying around. Fortunately, as a last resort, you can use a baking dish. For best results, choose a recipe that has a thick, juicy filling, such as deep-fried apple or peach tarts.

Pie tins and cake tins

Pie tins are usually round with sloping sides and relatively shallow compared to a baking dish; it often has a grooved rim to accommodate the crust.Pyrex glass pans are considered the best because they heat evenly, but they are also made from fired clay, tin, black steel, and disposable aluminum. The standard bakeware size is 9 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches in depth, but may vary. The baking pan can be between 1.5 and 2 inches deep.

Cake molds are usually made of aluminum, not glass. They usually also have a diameter of 8 to 9 inches. The cake tins are noticeably deeper than traditional baking tins, from 1.5 to 3 inches.Round 8-inch bakeware is best for baking pies because they will hold the bulk of most pie recipes. An 8 ” spring shape will also work.

Preparing the crust

Choose the recipe for your pancake that suits you; deep dish recipe is your best bet. A rolled up flaky pie crust, cracker, or cookie crumbs can all be baked on a baking sheet.

For pie dough, roll it out to about 12 to 13 inches in diameter.Place it in an 8-inch cake pan and press into the seams. Crimp the edges decoratively.

Press the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish to create a cookie crust.

Blind Baking

Most pie recipes require blind baking of the crust so that it is flaky and flat rather than wet or airy. Line the dough in a baking dish with parchment paper and fill the dish with a cake scale or dried beans, then bake for the time indicated in the recipe.(Cookie crusts do not need to be blind-baked.)

Pie filling

Make the pie filling and place in the pre-baked pie crust, then bake for the time indicated in the recipe. Check out the pie; If the custard is not completely frozen or the fruit filling isn’t bubbling, bake for another 5-10 minutes.

Tip

If the edges of the crust are browned too quickly, wrap them in foil so as not to set them on fire.

Add the top crust to the deep-fried tart.Make slits in the top to release steam during baking.

How to strengthen the immune system? – Newspaper “Edge of Smalyavitski”

Spring is the time of vitamin deficiency and decreased immunity. And against the backdrop of a pandemic of coronavirus infection, it is a strong immunity that is necessary for each of us.

Firstly, it is necessary to normalize food (in fractional portions, 5 times a day), you need to sleep at least 8 hours a day, well, at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day.Give up bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, or minimize.

Second – take foods that increase immunity. Honey contains a variety of vitamins A, B, C, E, K and folic acid. But its main advantage is the content of flavonoids – substances that affect the activity of
enzymes in the body. It is only important to remember that honey must be natural, not artificial.

Nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, which, alas, are not produced by the body, but are necessary for its functioning.Nuts also contain potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus, which will support a healthy immune system. The daily rate is 50 – 100 grams.

It is worth including dairy products in the diet. To increase immunity, it is better to use fermented baked milk, kefir or acidophilus. The presence of probiotics in them improves the digestion process and helps to remove harmful substances from the body.

Fish is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are not enough in our body to maintain immunity.Choose fatty fish such as tuna or salmon. In addition, our body is not able to produce zinc and therefore we need to eat foods that contain this element in excess, including fish. The fact is that zinc is directly involved in the structure of immune cells.

Sauerkraut and bell peppers are valuable sources of vitamin C. Sauerkraut is a natural probiotic for the intestines, due to the fact that it is a fermented product, it supports the intestinal microflora.It modulates our immunity through the work of the digestive system, the production of immune factors by the intestinal wall.

Brightly colored colored vegetables and herbs – they contain a lot of essential concentrated oils that strengthen our immunity, energize every cell of the body and make them more resilient.

Onions, garlic, horseradish, radish – foods rich in phytoncides, which kill pathogens, fungi and bacteria, increase the body’s resistance to infections, enhance the recovery processes in tissues.They are antiseptic and help the body fight bacteria and viruses.

There are special herbs and plants in nature that increase immunity. These are ginseng, echinacea, licorice, yellow root, red clover, dandelion chick, milk thistle, St. John’s wort, elecampane, celandine, aloe, rosea radiola, spices (cinnamon, ginger), green tea, etc. These herbs can and should be included in a wide variety of preparations to enhance immunity. Such immune preparations can be taken during illness to accelerate recovery, as well as as a prophylaxis.

Avoid junk food and do not overeat. This advice can be called truly universal. Nutritionists believe that fatty, heavy food with a high caloric value can harm the immune system. That is, refined, smoked, pickled foods containing a lot of sugar and salt.

Overeating weakens the immune system due to the fact that it takes too much energy to digest a large amount of food. But the body may need this resource at any time to protect it from viruses.

Citrus. It is said that just a lemon wedge a day is enough to get an optimal portion of vitamin C. In addition, an orange helps to cope with depression, has a positive effect on digestion, promotes wound healing, and has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

Brightly colored vegetables and greens – they contain many essential concentrated oils that strengthen our immunity, energize every cell of the body and make them more resilient.

Onions, garlic, horseradish, radish – foods rich in phytoncides, which kill pathogens, fungi and bacteria, increase the body’s resistance to infections, enhance tissue regenerative processes. They are antiseptic and help the body fight bacteria and viruses.

Last updated: October 30, 2020

Are you feeling cold or feeling unwell? Perhaps, in addition to treatment, you are looking for additional methods to feel better, and wondering what infusions would be useful to increase the body’s defenses? This is necessary both for the speedy improvement of the condition, and to prevent relapses of poor health.

In the cold autumn-winter period , we are more at risk of catching a cold and getting sick. And this happens most often, and with someone even several times a season.Cold in itself does not mean “illness, but it is a factor closely associated with colds and, of course, the flu.

If, to the low temperatures of the environment, you add also unhealthy diet, stress and insufficient rest, then as a result you can lie sick in bed almost every month (and at any time of the year).

For this reason, today’s article we have devoted the best infusions that can strengthen the body’s defenses , as well as cope with various viruses and bacteria.

Herbs and infusions that will help strengthen the body’s defenses

The immune system is designed to protect our body from the penetration and spread of various viruses and bacteria, as well as fungi and parasites.

The defenses are able to identify the threat and fight the aggressors – harmful elements (through antibodies and white blood cells). White blood cells, or leukocytes, are blood cells that are responsible for the immune response, acting as the body’s defense against antigens and foreign substances.

In certain situations immunity may be weakened. It is then that our body becomes more vulnerable to various diseases. Factors that reduce the body’s defenses are different . Among them are:

  • Stress
  • Emotional swings
  • Nutrient deficiency
  • Infections caused by viruses and bacteria

Infusions that can increase the body’s defenses

There is a wide selection of natural decoctions and infusions to moisturize the body (and warm).Do you already know which one is right for you?

The following infusions can be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy lifestyle to replenish water balance. According to popular opinion, they are also useful for naturally enhancing the body’s defenses.

In this sense, it is worth remembering that if you have the flu, cold or runny nose, maintaining good hydration daily will help relieve symptoms (eg headaches) and, above all, thin phlegm and make mucus easier to pass.

1. Echinacea

One of the main advantages of this plant is its ability to fight viruses, fungi and bacteria.

  • It is considered one of the best natural antibiotics that exists.
  • Echinacea also stimulates the immune system, promotes the production of white blood cells and neutralizes the action of pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Boldo (Peumus)

Boldo tea is already well known to many for its digestive and liver benefits.But it is also an excellent natural remedy for strengthening the body’s defenses (according to popular wisdom).

3. Ginseng

With Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) you can prepare one of the ideal infusions for strengthening the immune system. According to a study published in 1999, the plant “has a certain antiviral activity that can be regulated at the immune level.”

4. Cat’s Claw

If you are in Latin America, you can use Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa Willd DC) to prepare a moisturizing infusion that will also help you build up your defenses.

According to some hypotheses, the most outstanding advantage of this plant is its ability to strengthen the immune system. This benefit is due to an alkaloid called isopterpodine and chlorogenic acid. Both of them enhance the work of white blood cells to destroy foreign elements or microorganisms that have entered the blood.

5. Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is another herb that has been attributed to various medicinal properties. Its extract has been used as an adjuvant in the treatment of various ailments, including the flu and the common cold.

And the fact is that the leaves of this plant contain, among other things, ginkgolide and bilobalide, two antioxidants with powerful action and enormous potential.

It is mainly recommended for respiratory infections, flu and colds. Although it is also recommended to use it for stress, anxiety and spring asthenia.

It has a diuretic effect, so it helps to stimulate urination and remove retained fluid. Its flavonoids, polysaccharides and saponins provide such benefits.

According to Chinese herbal medicine, Astralagus propinquus is recommended for people who often suffer from colds and flu.

10. Mistletoe

An infusion of European or white mistletoe will be useful not only for regulating blood pressure and promoting relaxation in case of anxiety and stress, but also for increasing the defenses. And all because the plant contains various alkaloids and tannins.

11. Goldenseal

According to MSD guidelines, Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis):

“It is combined with echinacea as a remedy for colds. Goldenseal is also used as a remedy for indigestion and diarrhea. ”
