Benefits: 1. Immune System Support
• Stimulates immune activity, making it helpful for preventing or shortening colds, flu, and other respiratory infections.
• Increases white blood cell production and enhances the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
2. Antiviral and Antibacterial
• Contains compounds with antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal effects.
• May help fight off pathogens and reduce the severity and duration of infections.
3. Anti-Inflammatory
• Echinacea helps reduce inflammation, both systemically and locally.
• Can be useful for sore throats, swollen glands, or inflammatory skin conditions.
4. Wound Healing and Skin Health
• When used topically or internally, it may aid in the healing of cuts, burns, and infections.
• Often included in salves or tinctures for acne, eczema, and boils.
5. May Relieve Upper Respiratory Symptoms
• Helps reduce congestion, sore throat, and sinus issues when taken at the first sign of illness.
How to Use
• At first sign of illness: 30–60 drops (1–2 dropperfuls), every 2–3 hours for acute support.
• For prevention or general immune support: 1–2 dropperfuls, 1–2 times daily.
• Best used in short-term bursts, not typically for long-term daily use.
Cautions
• May interact with immunosuppressants—avoid if you have an autoimmune disorder unless cleared by your practitioner.
• Not usually recommended for long-term continuous use (e.g., months at a time), as it may lose effectiveness.
• Possible allergic reactions in people sensitive to plants in the daisy family (like ragweed or chamomile).
