Organic EchinaceaThe following article is reproduced with kind permission of P.Topham, U.S. Nutritional and Herbal Researcher: Echinacea is quite simply one of the most effective of all herbs. It grows mainly in the U.S. and Southern Canada. It was regularly used by native Indians to heal wounds and snake bites.
It can be used all year round and it is particularly effective in the colder months. By taking echinacea regularly, or at the first signs of cold weather caused symptoms, you can reduce the chances of this discomfort. Echinacea increases the levels of a chemical called properdin in the body which activates part of the immune system responsible for increasing the defence mechanisms against bacteria and viruses.
