does anyone know of any herbs to take for a week immune system?

Answer 1

A natural therapist lsat year introduced me to a traditional chinese remedy called Goji (known in the west by the botanical name Lycium barbarum and the common name Wolfberry). And I must say, I have hardly been sick at all since then - this past week I had a very minor cold, just a dry cough for a few days - despite being extremely run down / sleep deprived as I have a 5 month old baby, and that is the first time I have been "sick" since starting to take it last September. I have had problems in the recent past of getting a heap of colds and many boughts of bronchitis that I had real trouble kicking every year, so my own experience has me convinced that it most definitely works!

One of the things that I like about Goji is that apart from it being used successfully for thousands of years in asian medicine, is that in recent years there have been quite a number of research studies done on it too - you can find them at http://www.pubmed.org (search for Lycium barbarum).

There is more information about Goji and it's effect on the immune system at http://www.gojimedia.com.au/info/immune.php

Answer 2

There are a few things you can take to build your immune system. They are Olive Leaf Extract, Echinacea ~ Golden Seal, and plain old Echinacea.

I have posted below the links for each of these that will give a detailed description as to what they are used for and what the dosages would be on each specific product.

Hope this helps!!

Yes.
Biobran is a very good complex that helps immune sistem.
Try also vitamins C, A. E, B group, Selenium, Magnesium and Zinc.
Take very fruits and vegetables.
Green tea is great too.
