USEFUL PRODUCTS - continued 3. DEEP LUNG. This formula is most useful in stage 2
after 18 hours when the infection may have descended into the bronchi or lower
or have changed into the bacterial stage. It is very effective.
4. ELDERBERRY PLUS. This formula contains no sugar, but
relies on a thick concentration of the berries themselves is useful for COUGH
as well as a tonic for the lungs, and immunity. It is well received by young
children.
5. ASTRAGALUS. This is best applied in stage 3 and in
the re-cooperative stages until the natural energy (chi) has returned. It is
especially useful in cold and wet lung conditions. Do not use for a dry lung
condition or if it appears to increase coughing.
6. IMMUNITY PLUS. A comprehensive herbal immune tonic
best used for 3 weeks before exposure to infection or throughout the entire
season by susceptible patients.
7. OLIVE. This is a strong anti-microbial, especially
anti-viral that many find useful when experiencing viral eruptions, such as
herpes.
8. USNEA. This is another strong anti-microbial many
find useful when experiencing respiratory and urinary infections.
9. CHINESE EAR OIL. This is an effective topical application
for ear pain. NOTE: It stains clothing and needs to be stored in the refrigerator
except for the time needed for an active infection.
10. MULLEIN EAR OIL. This topical oil is useful after
the active ear infection if over, but it is necessary to use something to continue
addressing the ear for another week.
11. LYMPH OIL. This topical oil is applied in lymph rich
areas such as the neck or groin area to facilitate the movement of overburdened
lymph glands in the removal of infection waste material. I use it extensively
with children (and adults) with ear aches, and swollen throat glands. It has
been helpful for children with chronic ear infections.
12. ECHINACEA. This is a mild lymph mover useful in fighting
infection.
13. PHYTOLACCA. This is a strong lymph mover useful in
fighting sore throats and infection. CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED DOSE RECOMMENDATIONS!

moss used topically to soothe and shrink swollen membranes of nose and throat.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS Herbs to induce sweating are especially good for the first stage
of infection. These include peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and chamomile.
Add a pinch of cayenne to enhance therapeutic value. Any hot beverages and foods are useful such as chicken bone
broth or egg drop soup, consume or miso. Hold them in your hands and inhale
the hot aromas.For cough, slippery elm with honey, or lemon with fresh berry
puree and honey (and ½ tsp. brandy) is appealing.I encourage the use of fresh, organic, non-GMO (gene modified
organism) produce, and free range grass and organic feed fed cattle as well
as chickens for meat and eggs.
