How it works
Echinacea has been shown to stimulate the immune system and may reduce the risk of infections, particularly of the upper respiratory tract.
One of the ways that echinacea works in the immune system is by increasing the number of white blood cells. White blood cells are involved in defending the body against foreign microorganisms.
Echinacea also stimulates a group of immune system cells called phagocytes, which engulf and digest bacteria or other foreign bodies.
Garlic has antimicrobial and antibacterial activity and is particularly active against the influenza virus. It is also indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms of other mild infections especially those in the upper respiratory tract, including bronchitis and colds.
