Healing Potential
Echinacea stimulates the produc­tion of infection-fighting white blood cells-phagocytes and lym­phocytes-and enables them to dis­pose of toxins and damaged cells. As such, pharmacy texts state that echinacea combats colds, flu, infec­tions, slow-healing wounds, and inflamed skin conditions.

Evidence indicates that echinacea also boosts the body's production of interferon (a substance that has been found useful in treating can­cer) and properdin (a bacteria and virus fighter).

Using Echinacea
Echinacea can be taken as a tinc­ture or in capsules. Herbalists rec­ommend using it at the first sign of a bacterial or viral infection, espe­cially a cold or the flu. Echinacea may work by stimulating lymph nodes in the mouth, so the tincture is customarily held in the mouth before swallowing...
