Cold and Flu Formula is a combination of 16 organic and wildcrafted herbs designed to open & ease difficult breathing, quiet coughs, decongest sinuses & lungs, expel phlegm, reduce respiratory irritation, support healthy lung function, break a fever, and help get you over a cold or flu quicker - without any caffeine, stimulants, or anything else that would raise the blood pressure. A rare find and a Dr. Foster Exclusive Formula!
Helps Decongest Sinuses & Lungs: Contains herbs that promote healthy immune function, decongest sinuses and lungs and help ease breathing. Yerba mansa & other herbs are natural antihistamines and decongestants.
Opens & Eases Breathing: Lobelia, horehound, wild cherry and other herbs help relax the bronchial passages to ease coughing and assist breathing
Soothes Respiration Irritation & Discomfort: Licorice root and fenugreek seed help to ease irritation in the lungs caused by coughing
Traditional Uses Against Cold & Flu: Contains rare but powerful antiviral herbs such as lomatium and quaking aspen traditionally used to combat colds & flu.
Help Break a Fever: Elder berry is a classic diaphoretic cold and flu herb that induces a sweat and through doing so, helps break a fever
Stimulant-Free: Since it does not contain any ma huang, ephedra or any ephedra derivatives, it is safe for people who have high blood pressure. There are no herbs in this formula to raise blood pressure whatsoever.
Calming Effect: because it has a calming effect on the heart, it is safe for people who suffer from anxiety, PTSD, heart palpitations, and overactive thyroid.
Quality:
Organic and Wildcrafted: We use single-origin, organic & wildharvested medicinal herbs sustainably foraged at their peak of freshness, formulated with decades of clinical experience in mind as well as deep traditional wisdom. Our handcrafted, small batches preserve the botanical integrity of the herbs.
Tinctured Fresh: Most of these herbs were tinctured fresh from the wild in their natural habitat at the peak of their activity which is why this formula is so powerful. The herb lomatium can have a very powerful effect when it is tinctured while still fresh.
Backed by Experience and Training: It is very rare to find a conventionally trained medical doctor who has been using holistic healing methods for decades. Learn more about Dr. Foster
Because this formula is made at full therapeutic strength with organic and wildcrafted herbs, it's priced to reflect that quality.
How to Use:
How to Take: Take 2 droppers in water or juice 3 to 4 times per day.
First Sign of a Sniffle or Cough: Begin this formula at the first sign of of cold or flu, regardless of how minor the symptoms. At the first tickle of the throat or sniffle, start immediately.

Used one time03/17/2023 ByLinda Smith I was glad I had this on hand when we got sick. My husband who has multiple medical issues, got the flu (we don't test for the bioW virus) and I believe this helped him get thru it faster and without major issues or remnants. Because of his other issues I didn't get this to him right away but I started it the first day I felt it coming on and had an even shorter duration. All symptoms were light - I have't had anything like this in 5 years or so. As soon as we finished with it, I immediately ordered 3 more bottles. Gave one to our daughter who is an RN because she gets sick frequently dealing with all kinds of patients. I believe it worked for us. (I didn't take any other otc but my usual things). *The instructions and the website are very hard to navigate and find what you want. I'm on a desktop so can read what is there better. I think trying to get around on phone would be horrible. The website needs updating. Our responseHi Linda, thank you so much for your feedback! So happy it helped you and your family! I've just uploaded extensive instructions for Cold and Flu Formula. You can, of course, always follow the directions on the product label which are listed on each product, but there are some acute crisis dosage recommendations for this formula and some other uses that I've just added to the downloadable instructions. Make sure you check this page for more details: drfoster.co/instructions
