A Guide to Immune Enhancing
Herbal Supplements
Important Notice: The information given here is
designed to help you make informed decisions about your
health, and the proper use of dietary supplements. It is not

This is the time of year when we are espe-
cially concerned with our immune system.
Colds, flu, coughs–we want to prevent these
conditions and, if we do succumb, we want
to shorten their duration and severity.
There are many things we can do. We can
try to avoid exposure to pathogens. We can
eat healthy, avoid temperature extremes and
too much stress. But these measures, and
others, often fall short. Some of us get colds
and/or the flu every season, sometimes more
than once, while other’s seem to have an
inherent resistance.
We all have some degree of inherent resist-
ance. Our immune system is designed to
protect us from these infections when work-
ing properly. Repeated, or chronic infections,
including mild cases of colds and flu, can be
signs of a weakened or compromised
immune system.
In this short article, I am going to list some
of my favorite “herbal remedies” for enhanc-
ing immune function. Choosing herbal sup-
plements, when so many choices are avail-
able, can be daunting. I will break them
down into categories, such as “prevention,”
“treatment,” and specific health conditions.
(Please note that my use of the terms “pre-
vention” and “treatment” are not intended to
imply medical actions. Only drugs, as per the
FDA regulations, can be said to cure, treat,
prevent or otherwise mitigate disease. I am
using the terms only to clarify the nature of
their effect on the immune system).
I will provide several choices, when appro-
priate, and you choose the supplements that
seem best for you. In general, I will list com-
bination products first, and then single herbs
afterwards. For more information on each
supplement, please refer to the more
detailed information provided in the Phyto-
Tech™ Product Reference Guide. Indexes
located on pages 5 and 110.
