Colds and flu are viruses. They do not respond to antibiotics. Viruses and bacteria are only able to flourish in our body when our defences are down and the processes in our body are out of balance. Our body then reacts with symptoms. Weleda medicines for cold and flu help the body to help itself. These medicines can be used all year round and are especially useful during winter-time stress.
