What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today's interesting fact has to do with Echinacea and Ginseng.

These herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years. Echinacea by American Indians, Ginseng by those in the far east.

Many claims have been made about the potent powers of these two herbs and few of them have been confirmed, but one fact has been scientifically proven in blind tests. The use of these two herbs in combination have been shown to reduce the length an individual has a cold and a case of flu, by at least a third and sometimes by half.
