Hi Tracey - not sure if I've mentioned this to you previously, but I was advised by a very experienced Chinese haematologist a few years ago now to take 1000mg Echinacea every day as an immune system booster. He advised me not to use Chinese medicine as it's too likely to be contaminated.

I don't do this now because I'm going well, but as soon as I feel any sort of chest/throat infection threatening I take 5000 mg Echinacea and another dose maybe 12 hours later, and 99% of the time this knocks it.

This is apart from what you will see when you search for lung infection remedies.
