I read somewhere that this could be used to help 'cure' colds.

Where will I find some?

Is it easy to grow?

How does one use it to make this miracle 'cure'?



Buy it at the chemist in a little bottle, Alan. Add drops to water - works
for me. Recent research seems to show that it does indeed help with colds
and their symptoms.


Sometimes available in capsule form, as well.

My wife's been taking it in winter for years, only break by oncologist's advice
during a recent bout with cancer.

She swears by it and practically resisted a good gloat when I showed her the
article, bless her. I think there are some other earlier studies that showed no
effect, IIRC, but she believes it reinforces immune response.

All this means that when I catch a cold I usually have to take it. Nasty tasting
tincture, prefer the capsules.

E. purpurea is the most active as I recall.
