How to stay cold and cough free this Winter!!


I hate having a cold! or a cough for that matter and as winter kicks in so too do the runny noses!! I know when winter starts and finishes because my little boy Isaac has a nasty, runny, mostly crusty nose from start to finish. But not this year, hopefully. I am optimistic about beating this cold thing with Postlethwaite's Echinacea spray from Urban Evolution!! Echinacea is a herb that apparently helps boost the immune system although all the studies I've read claim it does nothing of the sort! Bah humbug, I'm trying it anyway!
So I have to spray this very 'interesting' tasting remedy onto my tongue, 5 sprays 5 times a day. So now not only do I spend half the day running after Isaac to wipe his nose I spend the other half chasing him round administering Echinacea!! He's never had so much attention in his life......... I'll let you know how I get on but if anyone else wants to have a go,
try www.ecovenient.co.uk for your own bottle of Postlethwaite's Echinacea Spray.

"There was an elite European study done on the effects of echinacea and the study took place with 100 participants.

Out of the control group that took a placebo the common cold lasted an average of 7 days.

The group taking the active echinacea found their colds cleared up in only one week."

:D
