Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is the most researched and popular herb for assisting immune function in Western Herbal Medicine. It has traditionally been used in North America for the prevention and treatment of cold and flu symptoms. As an immune modulator, echinacea can be used both as a preventative and as treatment for a wide range of infections. Many studies have proven that echinacea successfully reduces the severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections and that it can inactivate and/or inhibit many viruses at different levels.iii

Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) is an anticatarrhal herb for the upper respiratory tract particularly where there is profuse watery flow.iv

Ribwort (Plantago lanceolata) is ideal for coughs as it acts as a gentle expectorant while soothing inflamed membranes.v

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) may be used as the central ingredient in any fever management program including respiratory infections. It is a diaphoretic that can open up the peripheral circulation, helping to reduce unpleasant symptoms and keeping the body temperature from rising too high.vi

Lime Flowers (Tilia cordata) are commonly known as a diaphoretic to promote perspiration and are used in common cold and antitussive preparations. They have a relaxing, mild sedative action making them an ideal remedy for the treatment of acute feverish upper respiratory tract infections. Lime flowers are significant for upper respiratory tract catarrh and congestion, especially when headaches are associated with an increase in sinus pressure.vii

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation in the nose and throat. It is a mild diaphoretic and an efficient lymphatic, helping to remove the metabolic and immune toxic by-products from acute infections.viii ix  
 
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum): Classically a warming circulatory tonic, cinnamon is used for this purpose across many modalities including TCM, Western Herbalism and Ayurvedic Medicine. Cinnamon exhibits analgesic and astringent activity, making it applicable to reduce catarrh in the nasal passages while easing a sore throat. Cinnamon is pleasant tasting and encourages the assimilation of additional herbs in a medicinal complex.x
