Cold & Flu ProtocolColds & Flu
The common cold is caused by any 1 of 200 different viruses. When infection occurs, the walls of the respiratory tract swell and produce excess mucus, giving rise to the typical cold symptoms. Symptoms range from sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, and watery eyes to hacking cough, headache, and fever. Most colds run their course in 7-10 days. Prolonged or recurrent colds may indicate a lowered immune capacity, too much stress, and often not enough sleep. The flu is caused by an influenza virus, and is accompanied by fever, body aches, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and a dry cough or sore, dry throat.
The manifestation of colds and flu is a combination of two main factors: the existence of a disharmony or weakness of the endocrine/immune system and the pathogenic influence. Both aspects should be addressed when considering the onset of cold and flu season. There are two primary components to Natura’s Cold and Flu Season Protocol. The first component involves increasing the vital force , thereby reducing the body’s susceptibility to invasion by pathogens. The second entails aiding the body and alleviating symptoms during the acute onset of a pathogenic influence, such as an influenza virus.
Treatment Principles
Modern biomedicine looks at the existence of an invading bacteria or virus as the cause of disease, and uses powerful drugs like antibiotics to kill the pathogens. In contrast, traditional medical systems examine conditions of the body’s internal environment that are present during an illness and focus on the physical manifestations of the disease process. By applying both concepts simultaneously in balanced formulations of potent herbal extracts we are able to achieve remarkable results in the management of colds, flu, and many other infectious diseases.
Natura’s Cold and Flu Protocol is designed to support the whole system, while simultaneously aiding the body in ridding itself of the pathogens associated with colds and flu. The same herbs that keep colds and flu at bay will also help you get well faster once you are sick. Taken at lower doses, the formulas provide support for prevention during the cold and flu season by balancing the endocrine system and strengthening the immune system. Taken at higher therapeutic doses, these formulas deal with factors of acute onset and are indicated when colds and flu have already begun to move into the symptomatic phase. The dosing suggestions found herein are guidelines intended to optimize immediate and long term benefits.
