Ear Infection is one of the most frustrating
and aggravating problems in my practice. Almost half of all sick
visits are related to ear problems. In winter molds, house dust and
other indoor pollutants cause the Eustachean tube to close. Within
two days of this closure, or after exposure to other children with a
similar illness, the ear infection sets in. The Tympanic membrane
(ear drum) gets inflamed and appears red when we look with an
otoscope. The human body does have the capacity to fight such
infections, but children younger than 4 years of age have an
immature immune system. This is where the Herbal remedies come in.
Why do some children tend to catch anything and everything, getting
sick week after week?. In my practice, I see some ‘regular’ families
that show up every week. This may be because of genetics and/or
allergies. Some families do tend to have poor immune systems.
Children with multiple allergies and asthma end up with excessive
mucous in the bronchial tubes and repeated closure of the Eustachean
tubes. The herbal formula will not replace proper medical care with
your healthcare professional. It will not take the place of the
proper medical treatment of your child’s medical condition. However,
when used in conjunction with the traditional medicine, we will
hopefully be able to reduce the need for antibiotics.

Active ingredients in the Echinacea &
Astragalus formula:
1. Echinacea Purpurea Root is a powerful immune enhancer and is one
of the few preventive medicines known. It is well known for its
anti-viral (Rhinovirus, Influenza virus and Herpes Simplex virus)
and anti-bacterial (Strep and Staph) activity. The extract has an
alcohol-free Glycerine medium which is sweet tasting.
2. Asragalus is a Traditional Chinese Medicine that boosts the
Immune system. Being a food source, it is extremely safe and at the
same time has immense value as an herbal medicine.
3. Cleavers Herb supports the White Blood Cells that fight
infection.
4. Burdock Root supports the Hepatic (Liver) system and its
detoxifying abilities.

Dosage and how to use Herbal Medicine |
|
Dosage & Frequency: This formula is best used at the onset of
cold-like symptoms 4-5 times a day for 3–5 days. Administer one half
hour before meals.
In
some cases, I use the formula twice a day for a two week period,
then two weeks off and two weeks on throughout the “furnace months”.
Once the temperature stays above 68 degrees F we can stop the
formula. |
