Colds, coughs, and a weakened immune system are among the most common health problems that plague us, especially in the fall and winter months. Pelargonium extract, obtained from the root of the Pelargonium sidoides plant, has recently gained popularity as a natural remedy that can support our bodies in various stages of illness and for preventative purposes. In this article, we explain in more detail when to start taking pelargoniums, how they specifically support the immune system and respiratory system, and why it's worth keeping them on hand.
When our throat starts to feel scratchy, we feel tired, or a slight cough develops, this often indicates that our body is battling a viral infection. Currently, Pelargonium extract is an excellent ally. It stimulates the immune system and prevents the rapid proliferation of viruses and bacteria. This can shorten the duration of the illness and make it less painful. (1,2)
The advantage is that, unlike traditional medications, it does not contain harmful chemicals and can therefore be used safely even by people with sensitive digestion. People with frequent colds will especially appreciate the support of the natural defenses provided by pelargonium.
Furthermore, there are interesting studies confirming that taking pelargonium within the first 48 hours of symptom onset significantly shortens the overall duration of the illness. (2)
As soon as a stronger cough and mucus buildup in the respiratory tract occur, the situation worsens, and it is necessary to clear the airways. This is where Pelargonium extract excels with its anti-inflammatory and expectorant effects. It soothes irritated mucous membranes and facilitates coughing, providing relief and soothing irritation in the throat and bronchi. (2,3)
It also helps prevent complications such as bronchitis or secondary bacterial infections that may require antibiotics. The use of pelargonium not only relieves symptoms but also protects your health and promotes a faster recovery. (3)
For optimal results, it is advisable to adhere to the recommended dosage and to drink plenty of fluids and rest.
Pelargonium extract, however, does not have to be used only for acute symptoms. Many people use it regularly during the fall and winter months for preventative purposes. Thanks to its immunomodulatory effects, it can strengthen the immune system, reduce the incidence of illness, and accelerate recovery from infection. (2,4)
This preventative effect is especially appreciated by people who work in schools, healthcare, or other areas where viral infections are common. It is also suitable for seniors and people with weakened immune systems who could otherwise easily develop complications.
It is important to emphasize, however, that pelargoniums are not a miracle cure—they are supportive and should be part of an overall healthy lifestyle that includes a high-quality diet, plenty of exercise, and sufficient sleep. (4)
One of the greatest benefits of pelargoniums is that they do not contain sedatives that could cause drowsiness or other unpleasant side effects. They are well-tolerated, even with long-term use, and do not burden the liver or digestive tract. Therefore, they are suitable for use in children 6 years and older and seniors. (2)
In addition, they are also suitable for people who prefer natural treatment methods and want to minimize the use of chemical medications, as long as their health allows.
Professor Peter Warren, a specialist in pulmonology at the University of Glasgow, summarizes the importance of Pelargonium sidoides as follows: "Pelargonium sidoides extract represents a promising natural therapy for the treatment of acute upper respiratory infections." Clinical studies demonstrate that pelargoniums can shorten the duration of symptoms and improve patients' quality of life without causing serious side effects." (5)
Other experts point out that pelargoniums are a suitable supplement not only for acute illnesses, but also as part of comprehensive respiratory and immune system care.
Pelargonium extract is a universal aid, suitable not only for the onset of the disease, but also for advanced stages and for prevention during periods of increased morbidity. Thanks to its natural composition and minimal side effects, it safely supports and effectively supports not only the respiratory tract, but also the entire immune system.
So, if you are looking for natural relief in the fight against colds, coughs, and a weakened immune system, pelargonium could be the right choice.
