It can be used for cold and flu prevention and treatment, for sore throat and fever. We may feel weak and disoriented while our body is fighting off a cold. Fever Fighter is a wise herbal blend that chases cold and flu symptoms such as headache, body aches and fever while building a natural defense against infection. Traditional antibacterial, antiviral herbs, including honeysuckle flower (lonicera japanica) and isatis root, are combined with digestive peppermint and laxative rhubarb and apricot kernel in order to rid the body of acid wastes that result when germs die off. The energy dynamic of this type of herbal combination is to attack a cold or flu where it is most damaging. During the early stages a cold is felt mostly in the throat and head. Bitter, cooling herbs such as honeysuckle flower, forsythia bark, and rhubarb move inflammation through the gut and help prevent the illness from penetrating the lungs. Digestive mint is added in order to prevent nausea and weakness from detoxifying laxative herbs. Fragrant anise hyssop increases sweating to help reduce fever.
