With the advent of a cold and rainy autumn season, the human body undergoes serious shocks, as a result of which the immune system weakens, which leads to colds. Preventive measures aimed at increasing the body's immune forces are necessary, but it is not always desirable to use medications for these purposes. In this case, traditional medicine will help, in particular, the use of echinacea.
In favor of traditional medicine, it should be said about its harmlessness to the whole organism as a whole, since all means of this method of treatment are natural and do not contain chemicals. Echinacea tincture, the instructions for use of which must be followed in full, has antiviral properties. In addition, the tincture of the plant already at the first application begins to show its bactericidal properties, fighting microbes already present in the body.
It is worth noting that the use of echinacea is characterized by the absence of any negative effects on the body, since this drug is completely herbal.
Do not forget about the ability of the tincture to calm the nervous system, relieveirritation, removing insomnia and stress. Scientists have also noticed that the use of echinacea can lead to the development of antiallergic properties of the body.
At the same time, it is essential that infusions on this plant can be used at any age, moreover, most pediatricians agree that this is the best way to strengthen immunity for babies. Accordingly, this remedy is equally effective for adults, especially for the elderly, whose immune system is significantly weakened due to a decrease in protective forces. The herb Echinacea, which is especially relevant in autumn and spring, when the spread of viral infections is most concentrated, is recommended as an aid.
However, do not consider this plant as a way to treat influenza and more serious viruses. The use of echinacea will be especially relevant as a preventive measure, but if, for example, a runny nose has already taken effect, the use of tincture on this herb will cut the cure time in half.
Of course, the anti-cold and antiviral effects of the plant are far from its only properties. It differs in a special effect in the case of rheumatism, as well as any diseases directly related to weakening of the immune system, gynecological problems, as well as herpes and hepatitis viruses. The use of tincture in the presence of E. coli will be effective, since echinacea has significant antimicrobial properties. The plant should be used in the form of a tincture of 70% alcohol in a ratio of 1 to 10, while it is customary to insist only fresh roots. Take the resulting medicine should be in the form of drops, preferably before meals, dissolving in a spoonful of water. It is worth noting that the drug will be considered ready for use after thirty-five days of exposure in a closed container.
