This really blows as a first post on my newest blog, but I’m kind of focusing on getting my health back on track. I have a nasty cold and have been put on antibiotics for 10 days by my Internist. I am also taking the highly recommended Echinacea pills. I like going herbal and natural when it comes to my health so why not?

I look like hell and my throat is on fire. So far, my symptoms of runny nose and soar throat is subsiding. I will say that the combination of antibotics and the Echinacea is working for me. I hope to get over this cold in the next couple of days as I’ve been sick since Monday. I’d like to know what others think about herbal / natural medicines.

Here are some references from the web about Echinacea:

Mayo Clinic - Echinacea

ABC News - Echinacea May Boost Immune System More Than Previously Thought

Herbs at a glace - Echinacea

And for those of you who are currently sick like me, feel better soon!!!
