How it works

Has your child got a cold AGAIN?

Children can catch up to 10 common colds every year, which is more than twice as many as adults are likely to experience*. This is a normal part of childhood and occurs because children’s immune systems are still developing and are still learning how to recognise and respond to infectious organisms like cold viruses.

When they do catch a common cold, children usually experience a runny nose, a stuffed up nose and a mild fever.

Immune support

Echinacea is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support children’s immune systems and consequently help them fight illness.

Common cold and flu symptoms

Echinacea also relieves runny nose and unblocks the nasal passages during common colds and flu, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine.

Elderflower is traditionally used to calm children’s sore throats and ease mild fevers associated with common cold and flu in Western herbal medicine, where it’s often taken in combination with echinacea.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), common colds and flu are typically regarded as being due to excess wind that has entered the body from outside (a symptom-pattern referred to as external wind), often accompanied by external heat, which is traditionally considered responsible for the mild fever associated with the onset of colds in TCM.

Honeysuckle and forsythia are traditionally used to relieve common cold and flu symptoms such as mild fever and sore throat when associated with wind-heat symptom patterns in TCM, and forsythia is also traditionally used to relieve chills.
