Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)
Echinacea is also known as the ‘king
of blood purifiers’ and is a well-researched and
documented herb with a reasonably good understanding
of how it effects the immune system. Research
suggests that the immunomodulatory effects of the
herb are largely due to the polysaccharides, the
caffeic acid derivatives and the lipophilic
components. Historically Native Americans used
Echinacea more than any other plant against skin
conditions and illnesses, including wounds and
insect bites and was also employed as a remedy for
toothache and joint pain. Echinacea has been
designated with the following properties:
immunostimulant, anti-inflammatory, alterative and
vulnerary. Herbalists often recommend it as a
prophylactic against mild to moderate colds and
influenza.

the cold and flu season.

the temporary relief of symptoms of nasal catarrh,
