Echinacea is the most well-known of medicinal herbs, and many studies confirm its effectiveness. For maximum effectiveness, take it with the first symptoms of infection, preventing it from taking hold. Once an infection has invaded the body Echinacea can help to shorten the recovery time. In comparison with antibiotics, Echinacea works by stimulating our own immune system, where antibiotics destroy both harmful and beneficial bacteria.
Using Echinacea instead of antibiotics your immune system becomes better able to deal with infections and viruses. Research has shown that Echinacea boosts the activity and function of cells which are called Natural Killer (NK) cells. Echinacea has been known to have some restorative qualities and medicinal uses. Modern research has shown the potential for echinacea as a tool for fighting viruses and keeping the immune system healthy.
