{"product_id":"prairie-naturals-cold-and-cough-liquid-90ml","title":"Prairie Naturals Cold \u0026 Cough Liquid, Forsythia, Honeysuckle and Skullcap in Black Elderberry Base, 90ml","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePrairie Naturals Cold \u0026amp; Cough Liquid Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three herbs in this formula are not a random immune blend — forsythia, honeysuckle and skullcap are a recognised combination in Traditional Chinese Medicine, used together for the pattern of symptoms Western medicine calls a cold: sore throat, fever, cough. Prairie Naturals concentrates all three and puts them in a base of black elderberry juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe doses are serious. Each teaspoon carries 750 mg of forsythia fruit extract at 10:1, 750 mg of honeysuckle flower extract at 5:1, and 750 mg of skullcap root extract at 5:1. Those are concentrated extracts rather than crude herb, which is what allows a meaningful dose in a teaspoon of liquid rather than a handful of capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liquid format earns its place here. When you have a sore throat, a liquid coats it on the way down in a way a capsule does not, and it can be dosed for children as well as adults — the label carries separate amounts for ages three and up. Take it at the first sign of symptoms rather than waiting. Prairie Naturals has been formulating in British Columbia since 1993, without artificial colours, artificial sweeteners or unnecessary fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Prairie Naturals Cold \u0026amp; Cough Liquid Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for a household that wants something to reach for at the first scratchy throat, particularly one with children, since the dosing scales down to age three. It also suits anyone who prefers Traditional Chinese Medicine formulations to single-herb echinacea products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TCM framing carries a genuine caution most Western products do not: this formula is intended for wind-heat patterns and is **not** appropriate for a cold caused by wind cold, nor for anyone with spleen-stomach cold deficiency. If you follow TCM principles that distinction matters; if you do not, a practitioner can advise. Do not take it alongside tonic herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrairie Naturals Cold \u0026amp; Cough Liquid Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Concentrated Extracts\u003c\/strong\u003e — 750 mg each of forsythia, honeysuckle and skullcap per teaspoon, at 10:1 and 5:1 concentrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Chinese Formulation\u003c\/strong\u003e — A recognised combination used together rather than three herbs assembled arbitrarily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Elderberry Juice Base\u003c\/strong\u003e — Elderberry contributes its own long-standing association with cold and flu support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelieves Sore Throat, Cough and Fever\u003c\/strong\u003e — Targeted at the specific symptom cluster of the common cold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid Coats the Throat\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical advantage over capsules when the throat is the problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosed for Children From Age Three\u003c\/strong\u003e — Separate amounts on the label for ages 3-4, 5-9, 10-18 and adults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTake at First Sign\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed to be started early rather than once symptoms are established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-prairie-naturals-cold-and-cough-liquid-90ml\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Prairie Naturals Cold \u0026amp; Cough Liquid?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA concentrated liquid herbal formula combining forsythia, honeysuckle and skullcap extracts in a black elderberry juice base, 90 ml.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eAdults 19 and over take 2 teaspoons (10 ml) three times daily until symptoms subside.
