I’ve had a really stressful year and keep catching colds – at least 3 in 6 months. What should I do?

Sorry to hear that you have had a very stressful time. Stress can negatively affect your immune system which may explain why you have had so many colds recently. You could look at trying Stress Relief daytime and opt for a good multi-vitamin with magnesium and B Vitamins to support your system further.

It is most crucial to start treating a cold either before symptoms start or as soon as they begin. In practice, this means that you have to act whenever you have come into contact with someone with symptoms of the cold, or you have been in public places where colds and flu viruses are prevalent.

The treatment we would recommend for treating colds is Echinacea. Crucially, it has both anti-viral and immune-supporting properties, and both of these actions are relevant at the first contact with viruses. This is the reason it can also help you protect yourself from colds and flu.
