Echinacea

(Echinacea spp.)

Amazing immunity for colds, flus, and infections

This beautiful prairie flower has received a lot of hype in the herb world for its cold and flu powers. Some treat it like an antibiotic, or even a daily tonic to prevent from getting sick. In truth, Echinacea just empowers the immune system to fight acute infections, but cannot prevent sickness. Use about a tablespoon of dried leaves, flowers, or roots and boil for one minute for a cold-fighting infusion. Homemade tinctures and freeze-dried herb capsules are a very popular option, too.

Use of Echinacea apparently ramps up the abilities of “macrophages” or white blood cells, as well as interferons to fight both bacterial and viral infections. Taking the herb every two hours over the duration of a cold alone can shorten the amount of time you deal with cold or flu symptoms.
