Both Echinacea and Astragalus are well known and well documented, powerful, safe, and effective immunostimulants. Echinacea supports both the body's antiviral and antibacterial capabilities. Astragalus is the herb of choice for deep immune building during non-acute phases (see Astragalus information).
Herbs For Kids™ founder, Sunny Mavor, designed our Echinacea/Astragalus Blend™ for her son when he developed chronic bronchitis in the fall. She gave him a "tonic dose"?twice a day, six days a week for six weeks ? and he remained healthy through the winter.
This blend is designed to rebuild the immune system after the acute illness phase. Immune rebuilding is important for the child who catches every cold going around.
?Your Willow-Garlic Ear Oil™ and Echinacea/Astragalus™ blend were the only things that were able to get rid of my son's ear infections. I had even tried the antibiotics that the doctor gave us. All that did was give us both thrush!!! I now recommend your products to everyone I talk to about kids!!? ? Nirinjan K., Espanola, NM

I use this product with Alacer's Emer'gen-C for Kids. I just put the correct dosage for my child in the Emer'gen-C and my kids take their medicine easily. It tastes ok by itself too. The tincture makes it very vercital. My doctor was impressed with the formula as well.
