There
are plenty of herbal remedies for the common cold out there -the most commonly
cited is echinacea.
While
people claim the herb makes people recover from the common cold quicker than
paracetamol based remedies, there's no firm evidence to support this.
There
have been various trials with inconclusive results, but nothing solid. The same
can be said for vitamin C.
While
many claim it has preventative and healing properties with regard to the cold
& flu, studies found it has very, very limited benefit.
