Product Description:
Nature's Way Umcka™ ColdCare™ relieves
cold symptoms and reduces the duration and severity of secondary
throat, sinus and bronchial irritations. Common colds are viral
infections that can lead to secondary upper respiratory tract
illnesses-often in a recurring cycle. Unlike most other cough,
cold and sinus remedies that simply mask symptoms, Umcka™
ColdCare™ actually aids in a speedy, complete recovery. Umcka™
is made from Pelargonium sidoides - a geranium species harvested
in South Africa.

Umcka ColdCare brings to America the
current success story of the German market. With phenomenal
growth, it's gone from being an obscure herbal remedy to become
one of Germany's top new medicines. In the past two years sales
have jumped over 700% — growing faster than any other brand.
It's success is attributed to impressive clinical results, high
consumer satisfaction and a fascinating history that originates
from the native cultures of South Africa.
In 1897, an
Englishman named Charles Stevens went to South Africa hoping to
cure himself of tuberculosis. He consulted with a Basuto tribal
healer who gave him a decoction of a local medicinal plant.
Fully recovered, Charles Stevens returned to England with his
mysterious remedy — which became popular throughout Europe as
"Steven's Consumption Cure".
In 1920, a former missionary
doctor, Adrien Sechehaye, learned of Steven's cure. During the
next nine years he treated over 800 patients in Switzerland with
a homeopathic preparation of the medicine. In 1929 he published
the medical case studies. But with the introduction of synthetic
tuberculosis drugs, Steven's remedy became largely forgotten in
Western medicine — until its recent "rediscovery" by European
researchers. That's where the story of Umcka really
begins.
The Umcka Name: What the Basuto healer gave Charles
Stevens was a traditional remedy made from the roots of
Pelargonium sidoides — a species of geranium unique to South
Africa. Among the Zulu, the medicine was described as
"umKhulkane' (denoting respiratory infection) + 'uHlabo'
(roughly meaning chest pain). Nature's Way introduces the
medicine to America simply as Umcka For hundreds of years the
Zulu, Basuto, Xhosa and Mfengi cultures have used Pelargonium
sidoides as a curative for coughs, upper respiratory tract
irritations and gastrointestinal concerns. Today, with the
advantages of modern science and clinical research, we are able
to better understand what makes this traditional remedy work so
effectively.
