‘Tis the season for colds and flu, and having been sick for way too long last winter, I was thrilled to find a great product that seems to be a miracle worker for me. A very helpful man at the vitamin store recommended Everyday Throat Spray (www.everydaythroatspray.com), and I will be forever grateful to him.
Ligusticum Porteri (Osha Root)
This is Osha Root, which is the key ingredient in the spray. According to the Everyday Throat Spray website, Osha is antibacterial and antiviral. It has a great reputation for fighting respiratory illnesses. (In reading up on Osha Root, I found this lovely website: http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/osha_root.php. Lots of good information there.)
The spray also contains Echinacea Angustifolia, Licorice Root, Ginger Root, Peppermint, and Colloidal Silver. It sells for $10, and is available in stores and through the website.
Of course, I’m no doctor, and I don’t even play one on TV, so please remember that this is just my opinion here. Please check that this formula is safe for YOU to use. Certain people should not use licorice root or Echinacea, for example. Do your homework first!
Wishing you good health!

Well, believe it or not I woke this morning with a sore throat. For someone who wants to take care of herself as natural or healthy as possible, I tend to forget what was used in the past that worked. I am using zinc and 365 immune boos,t but thank you for turning the light bulb on in my memory. The suggestion you gave is excellent, thank you.
And I can’t believe I’d never tried it before! A good suggestion for us both! Feel better! 🙂
