While doing the Macarena Alex Vasauskas said to Bob Morgan: 
 AV> There is one other major herb I forgot to mention for conditions
 AV> involving respiratory weakness or infection.  It is elecampane
 AV> (Inula helenium).  It is useful as a tonic to take during the times
 AV> of year (or even all year) when you may be inclined to get
 AV> respiratory problems (it also strengthens the rest of the body
 AV> against disease), or as your treatment or part of your treatment
 AV> if you do get a condition involving respiratory effects.  The root
 AV> is the part that is used.
 AV> For the common cold and the flu in general, boneset (Eupatorium
 AV> perfoliatum) is right up there with echinacea and garlic, either
 AV> alone or in combination with the others.
 Thanks for the info.  I hadn't heard of this.  I'll look for both of
 them.
 Bob
