Echinacea has been proven to have antiseptic and antiviral properties, while simultaneously dilating blood vessels.

It is traditionally used to address "bishop's weed" (abscesses), septicemia, boils, and anthrax (inflamed hair follicles).

It helps to boost the immune and lymphatic systems. It is the first choice when there is a need to strengthen the body's defense against respiratory infections (flu, cold).

It is also commonly used to combat inflammation and infections (urinary tract infections), colic, and skin conditions (psoriasis, herpes, ulcers, wounds, burns, acne).

In short, this herb has antibiotic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and stimulating properties.

WARNING!

Echinacea is considered one of the safest herbs. It should be used with caution by individuals allergic to ragweed or to plants belonging to the sunflower family. Its use is prohibited in children under 4 years old, in pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as in individuals suffering from tuberculosis, leukemia, autoimmune diseases, immune system deficiencies, diabetes, and liver diseases.
