Lung infection
Respirafect® holds an important place in the treatment of lung infections accompanied by purulent sputum. This outstanding formula combats the infection, offering soothing, demulcent action, as it helps the lungs expectorate the viscid mucus.
The ingredients have hundreds of years of traditional use behind them. Modern clinical and laboratory work confirms that they are an effective aid in the fight against various lung and respiratory conditions.
This combination is used primarily:
• To treat coughs associated with respiratory tract infections
• To treat influenzal colds with respiratory catarrh
• Adjunctively for acute or chronic bronchitis, tracheitis and asthma
• As a soothing demulcent to aid expectoration of viscid mucus
Combinations to consider: For chronic or acute bronchial conditions coupled with irritating coughs, Respirafect™ can be used in conjunction with RespiraCleanse™ and/or EchinaSeal®. For a chronic tendency to coughs, particularly in the case of individuals whose every cold goes to the lungs, consider this in conjunction with our Deep Immune® and/or EchinAce® formulas, which add long-term immune stimulation and prophylaxis.

A NOTE ON TINCTURES
Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.
Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.
As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.
