Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea):

Although famous for its immune system stimulating properties, Echinacea also exerts a direct anti-bacterial, anti-viral action. The Echinacea has anti-fungal action because of its ability to enhance macrophage phagocytosis (macrophages are blood cells that play an important role in immunity, they are found mainly in the spleen, lymph nodes and liver. Phagocytosis is the action of engulfing and destroying; pathogens).

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra):

Much research into Elderberry has proven its anti-viral properties. Elderberry has a direct effect on the DNA of the virus, switching off the production of the enzyme that the virus uses to break down body cell walls. As viruses can only replicate inside a body cell, preventing the virus from getting inside cells limits its life. The flu virus with an average 10-14 day life cycle can be reduced to under 48hrs with Elderberry.

Cats Claw (Uncaria tormentosa):

Not real cat claws from our feline friends, but a South American vine with claw-like hooks which allow it to climb. Cats Claw is traditionally used by native peoples as a ‘cure-all’. Research into the plant suggests that it can enhance the immune system. Alkaloids and polysaccharides found in this herb have been shown to increase phagocytosis.

Astragulus (Astragulus membronosis):

Known in Chinese herbal medicine as Huang Qi, a good tonic herb. Immune boosting, liver supportive. Shown to be useful in chronic fatigue, probably due to the immune system enhancing properties of the herb.
