Janet Zand LAc, OMD ©

Nutrients

- Adding extra Vitamin A or Beta carotene, Zinc, and Vitamin C during the cold/flu season will most certainly help to protect against infection.

Herbs

- Astragalus is a great toning herb which can be used to build your immune system when you are healthy -- proactive medicine!

Rest

- Crucial for regeneration

Positive thoughts

- It helps!

NOTE: If you experience any of the following along with what you believe to be a cold, please consult with your physician:

Fever that continues above 101 degrees for more than 72 hours
Secondary infections of the lungs, ears or sinuses
Any sputum that continues to be green or bloody
Continued difficulty swallowing
Wheezing or continued shortness of breath
