According to an article in Natural News, the top five medicinal herbs to help fight influenza are garlic, echinacea, slippery elm, elderberry and eucalyptus. I have several of these herbs in my medicine cabinet that keep around for colds. I will add the slippery elm and eucalyptus before flu season starts. You can read the article HERE.

That is an interesting article. Thank you for sharing it.

Personally, I always make sure that echinacea is in my medicine cabinets well before flu or cold season starts. I find that it helps in warding off any health ailments in advanced.

I usually keep some Wellness tea with eucalyptus and echinacea in it. I think that Celestial Seasonings makes it. It tastes really good and I drink a cup of it whenever I feel a cold or other illness coming on.

I know that eucalyptus tends to smell pretty strong, but what does it taste like? I would have imagined that it tasted kind of bitter, but not quite like a mint.
