The Risks of Boericke & Tafel Cold & Flu Remedies
By John Curran
It is unclear whether or not Boericke & Tafel Cold/Flu Remedies can help reduce symptoms like coughing among both children and adults. The company’s own website does not provide any scientific data on efficacy, and an analysis of several of the herbs does not reveal much about their value in treating these conditions.
It’s unclear whether or not these tablets are a homeopathic scam. However, the materials used to create the mixture in the products may have some effect, at a very high risk. Consumers considering this remedy should know the history and side effects of several ingredients in Boericke & Tafel Cold/Flu Remedies, which can have deadly consequences.
Roman Execution Method of Choice
The Roman Empire was known for being efficient in all aspects of governance, including the use of Aconitum napellus, or monk’s blood, as an execution drug. Boericke & Tafel Cold/Flu remedies include this as one of its primary ingredients, reportedly to treat the sensation of cold and other effects.
However, research shows that in larger doses, it can be toxic, and it may be risky in younger children because of this. Unfortunately, ingredients are not always prepared properly, and it is unclear what the ratios listed actually mean in terms of milligrams.
Other Risky Ingredients and One Helpful Chemical
Eucalyptus, like menthol, is used in a variety of products as a soothing agent, and may in fact be able to limit the feelings of a sore throat, and also has antiseptic properties. It is one of the useful components of Boericke & Tafel Cold/Flu tablets; however, that may be one of the few that the remedy has.
White bryony is another key component, and is used for some pain and respiratory issues by natural health practitioners. However, in children the equivalent of just over a dozen berries can be fatal, and the remedy can lead to convulsions and further inflammation that can even cause breathing problems.
