My friends used to laugh when my mom gave me peppermint tea and echinacea for colds, but now it has been proven to help, so when you're stuck not feeling well, and you want to try something natural, try it. Vitamin and health food stores have lots of options and can direct you. Just check with your doctor if you're already taking drugs because some things can interfere with each other. If you don't improve with the natural remedy, you can always see the traditional doctor for help, but at least you tried something gentle and natural first.
