Echinacea


Echinacea

The herb Echinacea is indigenous to North America. Long a favored medicinal herb of the Native American Indian, Echinacea was widely used by early medicinal doctors. The herb has found modern acclaim in Europe over the past 30 years, where the largest volume of scientific research has been conducted. Over 40 pharmaceutical Echinacea preparations are registered for use by European physicians, who rely on these for the treatment of various health problems.

"Echinacea" is used to refer to both Echinacea Angustifolia and Echinacea Purpurea. Echinacea Angustifolia is probably more potent and is commonly mentioned as the plant used in traditional Native American medicine.

"The King of Blood Purifiers," Echinacea is described as the most effective blood and lymphatic cleanser in the botanical kingdom, making it possible to prevent colds and flus. Most herbalists agree that if the blood can be purified of excess acidity, diseases will eventually subside. The blood is constantly neutralizing poisons and carrying toxins to be eliminated.

Air pollution, chemical preservatives, food wastes, the body's natural cellular waste and stress can cause an accumulation of toxins in the body and result in disease of any organ, joint or tissue site. The best herb for blood and lymph purifications is said to be Echinacea Angustifolia.

The herb can be used both internally and externally and when used properly is said to be a valuable alternative to antibiotics. Echinacea promotes the production of white blood cells which can destroy the invading bacteria or virus. An amazing thing about Echinacea is that it is apparently nontoxic; it seems to be tolerated in large amounts and is easily eliminated, herbalists state. Echinacea has detoxifying and symptom-relieving properties, and also acts as a stimulant in that it increases body energy, drives the circulation, breaks up obstructions and warms the body sources report.

Echinacea has been used for treating gangrene, blood poisoning and all chronic and acute bacterial and viral infections. It is said to be effective against syphilis and gonorrhea, and is used for the treatment of all vaginal infections. Echinacea has also been reported to have given relief in cases of boils, gout, cerebro-spinal meningitis, diphtheria and ulcers.
