Herbal Formulas for Cold and Flu Season

    Winter is officially here with the eight inches of snow we got in the big storm yesterday. This is the season when sickness is all around us.  People are eating lots of sugar which affects the immune system.  Unfortunately most people don't stay home when they are sick, so just about anywhere you go you are getting exposed to those nasty germs.

    We have many wonderful formulas to choose from to help you boost your immune system and fight off illness.  I like to stock a variety in my home and trade off every few days, so that my body doesn't become immune to taking the same thing all winter.  Herbs First has formulas that are suitable for the very youngest to the elderly.  Put in your order today so that you will be able to enjoy this wonderful time of year!
