Your head is pounding, your throat feels like it’s been scrubbed with sandpaper and your nose is running like a faucet. Welcome to cold and flu season!

The common cold and influenza are both upper respiratory infections caused by viruses, and are more prevalent in the winter months. Keep reading to find out how Pascoe can help you prevent and treat both!

How to Prevent a Cold and Flu

Prevention is the best method to avoid getting sick with the cold. Eating a diet full of immune boosting foods, getting plenty of rest and frequent hand washing is a good start. Avoiding people who are sick, and touching your face when you've touched surfaces outside are also a good way to prevent getting sick. Much like a cold, you can attempt to prevent the flu by eating an immune boosting diet full of vitamins, getting sufficient sleep and exercise. Some people get the annual flu shot, the effectiveness of this method has been debated and may work for some people and not others.

There are many herbal supplements available that help prevent illness and boost your immune system, like echinacea, chamomile, thyme, vitamin C, eucalyptus and many others. These herbs are beneficial and can be taken whether you're sick or not. 

They are good for the immune system and have many other medicinal benefits. Pascoleucyn Forte Drinkable Ampoules are a good option to take at the beginning of winter, or before cold and flu season, as they contain echinacea and other powerful herbs that help fight cold and flu.

How to Treat a Cold and Flu

A cold is often treated with lots of fluids (to avoid dehydration) and plenty of rest. Because a cold is a viral infection, antibiotics are not an effective treatment. Many people will take over the counter medications like antihistamines and decongestants that ease the symptoms of a cold. Herbal remedies like echinacea, chamomile and other herbs are also available to help ease symptoms. Vitamin C is also recommended to boost the immune system.

The flu can be treated in much the same way as a cold would be. Plenty of rest and fluids are always a good idea. Herbs and supplements can be taken as well, however, may not be as effective if not taken before you get sick. For example, Pascoleucyn Forte Drinkable Ampoules are a great way to help keep you healthy before cold and flu season hits. Pascoleucyn Drops are also effective in treating symptoms of cold and flu, like coughing, sore throat, sneezing, headache, exhaustion, etc.

Why a Drinkable Ampoule?

Pascoleucyn Forte Drinkable Ampoules offer a quick, safe and effective way to take the product. The ampoules are made of glass and are sealed hermetically so that the contents are protected from contaminants.

The ampoules are filled with the cold and flu fighting power of echinacea, thuja and other herbs. Taking one ampoule at in the morning is all you need for the day. The contents help to prevent and combat illness, so you can be ready when cold and flu season hits!

Stay Healthy

Living a healthy lifestyle that doesn't compromise your immune health is a good way to stay healthy. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as staying well hydrated at all times is always a good idea, not just during the cold and flu season. You can add herbs and supplements to your diet to increase your immunity. Practicing good hygiene and staying away from those who are sick also helps.
