How Blackmores Echinacea Lozenges works
Echinacea is a traditional remedy that helps to
relieve the symptoms of colds, sore throats and
tonsillitis. One of the ways that echinacea works is as
a bactericide. It stimulates cells in the body called
phagocytes, which destroy bacteria or other foreign
bodies.
Eucalyptus oil has antibacterial, expectorant and
cooling properties, and is often used for bronchial and
throat inflammation, excess mucus, and to combat colds.
