With Extra Immune Boosters

OLIVE LEAF:

Olive leaf has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of ailments, but it's only been in rather recent times that a high potency extract has been made available in supplement form. The Olive tree, which is a small evergreen tree, (Olea europaea) is native to the Mediterranean region, but is now grown in many parts of the world. In recent years, the health of the Mediterranean people and their diet have been placed in a more prominent and favorable light. Much of this growing interest, as you are probably aware, is due to the increasing amount of evidence concerning the varied health benefits of olive leaf extract.

Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Even though olive oil is currently grabbing the spotlight, some experts and practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine tout olive leaf extract as one of the most powerful boosters of a weakened immune system that is under attack. The active ingredient of the plant is called oleuropein; it is this component that is responsible for its therapeutic benefits.

The most significant of the benefits of olive leaf extract is its ability to interrupt the replication of many pathogens, which include viruses, bacteria, parasites, and the like. In this regard, it does not cure any diseases, but rather destroys the pathogens that can cause diseases. Disease and illness are the result of an immune system that has become compromised by such pathogens. The extract can bolster a sagging immune system, help it regain normalcy, so that it can once again effectively defend the body from illness.

A series of various studies over the years have shown additional benefits that include: lowering blood pressure (animal, not human subjects); helping blood flow more easily through arteries; and increasing overall cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol.  Anecdotal benefits of olive leaf extract include: helping psoriasis; fighting fatigue; combating allergies; and alleviating fevers.

ECHINACEA:

One of the most popular herbs in America today is the Native American medicinal plant known as Echinacea. The herb is named for the prickly scales in its large conical seed head, which resemble the spines of an angry hedgehog (echinos is Greek for hedgehog).

Results of archeological digs indicate that Native Americans may have used Echinacea for over 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a general "cure-all." Echinacea has also been used throughout history to treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria. Although this herb was popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, its use began to decline in the United States after the introduction of antibiotics. Echinacea preparations became increasingly popular in Germany throughout the 20th century -- in fact, almost all of the scientific research on this herb has been conducted in this country.

Today, Echinacea is primarily used to reduce the symptoms and duration of the common cold and flu and to alleviate the symptoms associated with them, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever. Many herbalists also recommend Echinacea to help boost the activity of the immune system and to help the body fight infections.

General Uses:
Several laboratory and animal studies suggest that Echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may also recommend Echinacea to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida) infections, ear infections (also known as otitits media), athlete's foot, sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), as well as slow-healing wounds.

Common cold:
Two groups of researchers recently conducted a review of the scientific literature to determine whether Echinacea is safe and effective in preventing or treating the common cold. Both groups of researchers identified 13 high-quality European studies including a variety of different Echinacea preparations. Nine looked at the effectiveness of Echinacea to treat the common cold and four examined whether Echinacea helps prevent this familiar health problem.

Most studies found that Echinacea (when taken at the first sign of a cold for 8 to 10 days) reduced cold symptoms or shortened their duration. For example, in a study of 95 people with early symptoms of cold and flu (such as runny nose, scratchy throat, and fever), those who drank 5 to 6 cups of Echinacea tea every day for 5 days felt better sooner than those who drank tea without Echinacea. Other studies have found that Echinacea reduces cold symptoms by roughly 34 percent.
