Pelargonium Sidoides
Core’s Natural Cold & Cough Syrup is made from pure Pelargonium. Pelargonium (Pelargonium sidoides) is used in South Africa as a natural antibiotic. Known as ‘Umckaloabo’, it has been used for thousands of years by the Zulu, Basuto, Xhosa and Mfenfi people and is especially valued for its action on upper respiratory tract infections, coughs and ear, nose and throat infections and for its ability to encourage rapid recovery from colds and flu. In 1897 Charles Stevens an Englishman was given pelargonium to treat tuberculosis. Fully recovered, Stevens took his remedy back to Europe and the herb gained in popularity.
The science
Pelargonium has been well researched using randomised double blind, placebo – controlled trials for use in acute bronchitis and has been shown to be as effective as using treatments involving antibiotics. Studies have also shown that pelargonium sisoides extracts are effective in treating tonsillopharyngitis in children between the ages of six and ten years. It seems to be especially helpful in treating those who have not responded well to antibiotics.
A Cochrane Database of Systematic review published in July 2008 concluded that Pelargonium sisoides may be effective in alleviating symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis and common cold in adults.
How it works
Herbalists usually use pelargonium as an antibacterial and antiviral herb. It has become popular because of the positive results in clinical trials. It is used to treat flu, bronchitis and tonsillitis. Its expectorant action helps the body to expel mucus and speeds up the rate of recovery. This three-fold action of anti-bacterial, anti-viral and expectorant attacks acute infection at its root, helping to balance the immune system and prevent the cycle of infection taking hold. Pelargonium is commonly prescribed in Europe for upper respiratory infections.
Sceletium Tortuosum
Sceletium is a Southern African medicinal plant which has been used for centuries by the indigenous tribes for its unique uplifting properties. However, only in recent years it has been researched and acknowledged by doctors and psychiatrists around the world for its mood enhancing & calming effects.
Sceletium has been proven to be a natural and gentle, supplement for stress, tension and low mood. It has successfully been used to manage anxiety, relieve mental tension and is recognized for its rebalancing properties that work on the brain and nervous system.
Mesembrine, a major alkaloid present in Sceletium,, is a confirmed serotonin (re)-uptake inhibitor(SSRI), known to give a sense of well being and treat symptoms of depression.
Although very few side effects have been reported after taking Sceletium, it is not recommended for pregnant & lactation women and should not be used while taking any psychiatric medication or in combination with alcohol or other recreational drugs.
