Resume. The common cold and flu are caused by common respiratory viruses, sometimes leading to hospitalization and even death. Among viral infections, influenza viruses have spread around the world with a major impact on public health. Changes in the antigenic structures of influenza viruses lead to a lack of effective treatments. Therefore, the use of herbal remedies is an alternative way to treat flu and colds. For this purpose, you can use both individual medicinal plants and their collections. This paper is devoted to the study of the anatomical structure against cold herbal teas from two manufacturers (Ukraine and Bulgaria) to establish microscopic diagnostic features.
