Product Description
Echinacea is one of the most popular herbs used today in America. Several laboratory and studies suggest that echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system. It is believed to be an immunostimulator, stimulating the body's non-specific immune system and warding off infections.
Today, people use echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and fever.
Echinacea is also a very effective alterative and blood-purifier. It helps to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may recommend echinacea to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida) infections, ear infections (also known as otitis media), athlete's foot, sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), as well as slow-healing wounds.
