Echinacea Purpurea Herb - by Nature's Way.

With a reputation as nature's best immune system enhancer, Echinacea Purpureais believed to be one of nature's most powerful natural antibiotics.  Considered the most potent of the Echinacea genus, Echinacea Purpurea helps to stimulate the body's resistance to infection, diseases, fever and blood poisoning.   When you feel the flu or common cold coming on, reach for Echineacea, the "must-have" herb, for relief.

Three species of the Echinacea herb are useful in medicine: Echinacea augustifolia, Echinacea purpures, and Echinacea pallida. Research has shown that Echinacea increases production of interferon in the body, which helps increase antiviral activity against influenza (flu) and herpes, an inflammation of the skin and mouth. It is antiseptic and antimicrobial, with properties that act to increase the number of white blood cells available to destroy bacteria and slow the spread of infection. This herb is thought to be an immune stimulant. Taking this herb at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms can actually shorten the term of a cold or even abort it when caught early enough.
