Advantages: No more colds!

Disadvantages: Horrible taste.

If your kids have gone back to school, and have already caught one of the many cough and cold 'bugs' that seem to start at this time of year, it is definitely worth trying echinacea. This herb also known as purple cone flower, is considered a natural antibiotic, and is brilliant at fighting infection.

I buy the Echinaforce version, but Holland and Barret also do their own. At the first sign of a runny nose or sore throat, I give my kids 10 drops in a glass of juice. You are supposed to put it in water, but it has quite a strong taste, and I would never get them to take it like this. If you do this 4 times a day, the cold just doesn't materialize. It really does seem to work, and anything that stops them having time off school is a bonus (for me!)
