Many children these days have weakened immune systems, causing them to succumb to infection after infection. This is particularly noticeable when, for example, they start a new school term. Whilst it is important that childrens immune systems are exposed to some challenges to allow them to mature, an immune system that is already weak will not benefit from repeated infections. Echinacea supports immune function, encouraging the better recognition and destruction of invading pathogens. As it strengthens the immune system generally, rather than working directly on a specific pathogen, it is ideal for prophylactic use. It can safely be given throughout the winter or whenever a childs health is most impaired. These small, pleasant tasting, chewable tablets are easy for children to take. Echinacea Junior is free from synthetic preservatives, flavouring and colouring. Echinacea purpurea, treasured by Native Americans for its healing powers, flourished in Switzerland thanks to the skill and perseverance of Alfred Vogel. His original plants are the forerunners of the fresh, healthy herbs used to these tasty tincture tablets. What is it used for? - For childrens ailments, e.g. colds, flu, chicken pox, recurrent infections.
