The number of flu cases tracked by the CDC has steadily risen throughout most of January but may be plateauing in Colorado. The United States is on record for having one of the worst flu seasons in 15 years. Elderberry and echinacea are simple herbal remedies to have on hand this season.
Worried about that tickle in the back of your throat and want to shorten the duration and lessen the severity of the flu this season?
You can protect yourself and your family by keeping simple remedies on hand: elderberry and echinacea in combination are as effective in reducing the severity and length of flu as Tamiflu, without gastrointestinal side-effects of nausea and vomiting.
