ECHINACEA (Super Echinacea) Echinacea purpurea
Blended liquid extracts of fresh whole root, fresh leaf & flower
(no stem), & dried mature seed.
- Actions: Immune system modulator and tonic. Anti-inflammatory. Stimulates healthy
growth of connective tissue and speeds healing of damaged tissues. Excellent alterative, and
blood and lymphatic cleanser.
- Uses: All conditions where immune system is challenged or compromised: Inflammations,
infections, fevers, colds, flu, allergies, etc. Weak immune system and susceptibility to
infections or slow-healing wounds. Septicemia ("blood poisoning"). Lymphatic congestion.
Boils and carbuncles. Eczema, psoriasis, hives and other skin problems. General "rundown"
feeling. Arthritis. Venomous stings and bites.
- Dose: Take 30 to 40 drops, 2 to 5 times per day. In fevers, severe infections, or venomous
bites and stings doses can be as large as 40 to 80 drops every 1 to 2 hours (depending upon
severity). As fever or symptoms subside, dosage can be lowered in size and frequency.
Topically apply full strength (if well tolerated), or dilute with 1 or 2 parts water.
- Cautions: Some say Echinacea is contraindicated in autoimmune diseases, and that long continued
doses cause therapeutic effects to diminish. However, there has been no scientific
or clinical evidence of this, and traditional use of Echinacea demonstrates otherwise.
