KVA Garlic Extract Herbal formula 2 oz
This is an herbal cold and flu remedy. My all-time personal favorite formula for health and wellness. A must for the herbal medicine cabinet. I have successfully used this when I go out of country, been around sick people, or in stressful situations. If I feel like I am coming down with a cold, I will take this every hour until I retire to bed. Most of the time, I am better the next day. I then will take it two or three times a day to build up my immune system. If I do catch a cold, it is never bad enough to keep me down, and I always recuperate quickly. I will add my formula, Cough Sore Throat if I end up having a cough. I do have to say that this formula does not taste good, but it works so so well. And it is Alcohol-free! Inspired by Dr. John R. Christopher when he was at a seminar in Snowflake, Arizona to ward off Bubonic Plague. Although there are a couple of herbs that are different because of being on the FDA list, it is still made per Dr. Christopher's instructions.
