Goldenseal Combination, my new favorite flu remedy!

    On Easter Sunday we had no indication that we were going to be sick. We went to church, had lunch with family and visited throughout the day. We headed home about 5:00 and I noticed that my husband Don’s voice sounded a bit like he was getting a cold. By the time we got home Don had to have a nap and when got up a while later he was feeling a bit worse. He took a hot bath and took Immu-Defense in hopes of burning it off, but by the time he went to bed he was feeling quite sick.

     Don missed work the next day, and I was feeling a bit of a sore throat so took the Immu-Defense throughout the day.  I was out running errands after work and even though I had a few more things to do felt like I just needed to go home. I could tell something was trying to get me, so I started taking my home-made Anti-Plague syrup (Super Garlic Immune) every 15 minutes. After four hours of this and no change in how I felt I opened our herb cabinet and my hand went directly to Western Botanicals Goldenseal Combination, which was formerly called Flu & Virus. I took a dose, and went to bed where Don had been all day.

    Within a short period of time I could feel the difference in my body from the Goldenseal Combination, so I kept taking it. When Don roused I had him start taking it as well. We both kept taking Goldenseal Combination all night long. I woke up about 10:00 am the next morning and felt so much improved that I was able to work, Don on the other hand still slept half the day since it had settled into his lungs. He added Dr. Christopher's Lung & Bronchial to help clear the lungs.

    I was pretty surprised that the Anti-Plague/Immu-Defense didn’t work for us, because it has been our stand-by for years. Maybe our bodies became a bit too accustomed to the herbs in it and needed something else. I always keep a variety of formulas for illness in the cabinet and rotate them, such as Dr. Christopher's Infection Formula, Immune System Formula, and Western Botanicals Immu-Defense and Immune Boost, etc. This time I’m happy that we had the Goldenseal Combination, and this formula will be one that I will always keep on hand.

    We always find it is best to stay on the formula that is working for a week or two after being sick. This helps us to not relapse and rebuilds the immune system back up.

Herbs For Colds & Flu Season

    I had a customer call recently to say that they were sick and that the Infection Formula wasn’t working. I asked how much they were taking and they said 2 capsules a day. Two capsules of any of the following: Dr. Christopher's  Infection Formula, Immune System Formula, Western Botanicals Immune Boost Formula, Immu-Defense Formula or Goldenseal Combination would work great to boost your immune system and fight bacteria or virus if you have been exposed to sick people. A great dosage when you feel you have something coming on is at least 2 capsules three or more times a day of any of the above formulas, and I have taken them as often as every half hour when things were really bad.  Note that the Flu & Virus Formula is now called Goldenseal Combination - it is a great formula to fight both bacteria and virus bugs and is available in liquid as well as capsules.

    A few days ago I felt a little drainage at the back of the sinus before it drains into my throat.  My throat thankfully wasn't red but I could tell that things were headed the wrong way. I like to hit things hard to get rid of them fast and not let it develop into anything worse so I took 2 Infection Formula, 2 Immu-Defense capsules and 2 Immune System Formula.  I took this three times on the first day as well as the second day. On the third day it felt perfect, but to be safe I took one more dose of all three formulas. It has been quite a few days and I continue to be healthy.

    The three days I took the herbs cost a total of $7.00 which is really a small price to pay to not get sick.  Years ago I would be sick six weeks every winter and hardly able to take care of my family.  Learning the principles of health and making the diet changes, and adding the herbs into our routine has been priceless to our family.

    Recently I saw the Dr. Oz show. He asked people if they ask their doctor for an anti-biotic and if the doctor gave it to them.  Quite a few doctors did and Dr. Oz told the audience that antibiotics don’t work for illness caused by a virus. People wanted help and that is why they went to the doctor.  Here at Herbs First we have the products to help you get well. We hope that you will order them to have on hand so that you can keep your family healthy.

New names for popular Western Botanicals Formulas

   Some of the names of the products have been changed due to a little visit from the FDA. This seems to happen once a year or so, and I have noticed that it is always happens on very popular products. Of course everything we sell here at Herbs First really work

    Goldenseal Combination was formerly named Flu and Virus Formula.  I often talk about having a variety of herbal formulas in your home to use when sickness is going around.  Goldenseal Combination is potent and is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Use at the first sign of a cold or flu as well as when you are in the thick of it. Useful year round to help you combat what ever is going around the office, school, daycare or wherever your family hangs out. Order Goldenseal Combination capsules or syrup.

    Immu-Defense was formerly named Anti-Plague.  This is Western Botanicals version of Dr. Christopher’s famous formula in capsule form and syrup.  My husband was really grateful when it came out in capsules, since he can’t handle the syrup. I have used the syrup for years and Western Botanicals pricing on the syrup is far below what we can get Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune for. Order Immu-Defense capsules or syrup.

    ImmuSoothe was formerly named Allergy Formula. Many of the herbs in this formula have a powerful calming effect on the immune system. Allergies are a sign that the immune system is over-reacting. Use ImmuSoothe for the symptomatic relief of seasonal allergies, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, hives, sneezing, and sinus congestion. Order ImmuSoothe capsules or syrup.

    Seasonal Sinus Formula was formerly named Sinus Allergy Formula. Seasonal Sinus works to relieve sinus congestion and draining associated with allergies. Also an effective immune booster to fight bacterial and viral infections. The effects of the powerful formula can be felt immediately. Order Seasonal Sinus Formula capsules, extract or syrup.

    Turmeric Combo was formerly named Anti-Inflammation Formula. This formula is effective in dramatically reducing pain and inflammation. The herbs used in the Turmeric Combo are of the safest available, and can be used on a long-term basis without worry of interfering or reacting to other nutrients or drugs. Order Turmeric Combo capsules.   

    Enjoy these and other great Western Botanicals Formulas.

Have a great month!
