Upper respiratory tract infections are very common. Most adults catch a common cold between two and five times a year, complete with symptoms like a runny nose and nasal congestion, which usually last around 7-10 days.1

Echinacea: traditionally used to reduce common cold duration in Western herbal medicine
Fusion Cold & Flu Liquid contains echinacea, which is traditionally used to relieve symptoms of common colds and flu in Western herbal medicine including runny nose, nasal congestion and mild fever.

Being a renowned herb for immune support in the Western herbalists’ dispensary, echinacea is traditionally used to fight illnesses such as common colds and flu, while also shortening the time it takes to recover from them.

In Western herbal medicine, echinacea is also traditionally taken to relieve the symptoms of mild tonsillitis (inflammation of the two oval-shaped glands that sit at the back of the throat).
