Wild indigo is quite popular in the United States, found primarily along the east coast. It is known for its leaves due to their bluish tint.
Coneflower (Echinacea)
More commonly known as echinacea, coneflower is found in the Midwest of North America. Echinacea is one of the most popular herbal remedies as it contains a variety of compounds that have been considered essential in therapeutic medicine.
Benefits of Esberitox
Immune Boosting
The combination of thuja, wild indigo, and echinacea has been suggested in several studies to trigger a positive immune response. Echinacea in particular contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, and several other immune boosting compounds.
In a study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, thuja was determined to shorten the duration of acute respiratory tract infections.
The implications for this combination of ingredients include being able to help you feel better faster and better your chances of avoiding certain illnesses that are easily spread such as the common cold.
Common Cold
Speaking of the common cold, thuja and echinacea have both been taken as a common cold remedy for many years. While studies are still split down the middle, there are some experts that believe this particular combination of herbal remedies may help to shorten the duration of your cold and may help to prevent it altogether.
Anti-Inflammatory
Interestingly, the combination of ingredients in Esberitox have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory benefits. In a study published in the Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, echinacea was shown to lower inflammation rates in mice. This has very important implications if you are currently visiting a chiropractor for muscle soreness and inflammatory-based pain.
