You may have heard recently in the news that North America’s first human cases of the H7N9 bird flu have been confirmed in British Columbia. A couple from the Lower Mainland had recently been on a trip to China where it is believed they have contracted the flu-like illness.
As with most influenza, these harmful respiratory diseases should always be taken seriously. They can cause a number of symptoms, including coughing, fatigue, muscle soreness, headache, and fever. And in some cases, the flu can lead to death.
Your First Line of Defense
Whether you are at home or abroad, it can be a challenge to stay healthy during cold and flu season. During this time of year, people tend to gather indoors and stay in close contact with others, making it easier for viruses to spread from person to person. People are doing their best to fight colds and flu with vaccinations or whatever they can find in their “medicine chest”. When it comes to winning the battle on seasonal viruses, however, prevention really is your first line of defense, especially when it comes to contracting a potentially devastating flu.
Keep Colds and Flu at Bay
One of the most commonly used and researched herbal remedies worldwide, Panax Ginseng has been playing an important role in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. This incredible preventative and curative natural remedy has long been revered for its many health benefits, including the treatment of anemia, cancer, depression, diabetes, fatigue, hypertension, insomnia, as well as to promote endurance, increase life expectancy, encourage proper hormonal functions, and increase resistance to disease—not to mention its legendary medicinal use to help keep colds and flu at bay.
The active compounds— helpful plant saponins, specifically ginsenosides—in Panax ginseng have been proven time and again to support immune function. Furthermore, ginseng has been shown to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics and vaccines, making it an extremely effective complementary medicine. Studies have also demonstrated that healthy people who regularly take ginseng are more likely to have a stronger immune system in comparison to individuals who don’t use it.
