Echinacea Extra

Echinacea is a herb that has become very well known recently, although its use goes back generations, particularly in Europe and the USA.

Echinacea is used primarily for the immune system, to boost the system against coughs, colds, and any type of viral or bacterial infections.

Echinacea has been shown to increase phagocytosis by the white immune defence cells in the body, that is their ability to ‘eat’ these foreign invading organisms and to neutralise them.

Our Echinacea Extra preparation is a high strength tincture, far stronger than that usually found on the market.

We do not recommend daily usage, as the body develops tolerance, and it becomes less effective when it is really needed. Use it to ward off infections, or to treat infections as they arise, rather than long term as a preventative.

Recommended Dosage

10 drops twice or three times daily.

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Cautions / Adverse Reactions

Echinacea is well tolerated at the recommended dosage.

There are no known contra-indications at the normal dosage.
