Second, herbs that promote a mild fever, hence sweating (known as diaphoretics) may be useful. Because a fever is a sign of the immune system working, it may be that diaphoretics are also immune stimulators like the first category. Elder, boneset and yarrow are three examples.

The third category includes herbs that may directly kill the viruses that cause colds, based on test tube studies. Goldenseal, myrrh and usnea are examples.

Finally, some herbs are used just to alleviate symptoms such as sore throats. These herbs tend to be high in mucilage and are soothing and anti-inflammatory or have tannins that are astringent. Marshmallow and red raspberry are two examples. Symptom-relieving herbs may have other active constituents and mechanisms of actions. As you can see in the following list, many herbs fit in more than one category, such as goldenseal (immune stimulating and antiviral).

Sources close to Jackson told CNN that during a world tour in the mid-’90s, the pop star traveled with an anesthesiologist who would “take him down” at night, then “bring him back up.”

Wouldn’t you sleep better if you knew your not going to fall asleep by a pill that effects your nervous system and can give you a “hangover feeling” the next morning or would you rather fall asleep by inhaling a very mild tasting aroma through a vaporizer and relax your way to sleep – anxiety free and no hangover in the morning.
