Function:
Echinacea increases the "non-specific" activity of the immune system. In other words, unlike a vaccine which is active only against a specific disease, echinacea stimulates the overall activity of the cells responsible for fighting all kinds of infection.
Unlike antibiotics, which are directly lethal to bacteria, echinacea makes our own immune cells more efficient in attacking bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells, including cancer cells.
Echinacea Purpurea extract has anti-virus, anti-fungal, anti tumor, and anti-inflammatory effect.It is believed to stimulate the immune system to help fight infections. Less commonly, it has been used for wounds and skin problems, such as acne or boils. Return to List
