First is garlic, a great antibiotic which can be used internally for immunity, and externally for cuts and sores. Of course, I am sure most have heard of Echinacea to boost immunity, and reduce duration (good for acute symptoms.) I good compliment to Echinacea is Goldenseal. Fenugreek is a good herb for mucus. AND DON'T FORGET TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER:)<<< Hi Clark (and everyone) I am new to the group as well, so hello and Bright Blessings I just wanted to agree with what you've said. It is of course an ever evolving process, but my journey through natural medicines has been going on almost 11 years now. There is so much more that we can do to help ourselves and some of them so simple, yet overlooked. Like you mentioned, drinking lots of water. Seems simple yet most people wait until they are thirsty. Now, by the time a sense of thirst has developed you are already dehydrated. Also, for every cup of caffeinated beverage you consume you deplete a cup of water. So suddenly those 3 coffees cancel out the few glasses of water. I've been drinking lots of wonderful "brews" lately. I sometimes combine just a few herbs and sometimes 15 or more, and make myself a pot of tea and then drink it through out the day. Herbs like fresh mint, dandelion root, red clover, and dried herbs like echinacea, rosehips, peppermint, chamomile, yarrow, and many more. I change the mixture depending on how I am feeling or what my needs are, and I always add organic, decaffeinated green tea to the mixture as well. Anyway, I very much look forward to the discussions here. Thanks for having me.
