Echinacea TabletsRef: 3423
Echinacea is often used to stimulate the immune system and ward off coughs and colds. Echinacea has a long history as a herb used for infections and to boost the immune system. When antibiotics were seen as the magic that would make infections a thing of the past, this powerful herb fell into disuse. But now many people, who are reluctant to use antibiotics because of their side effects, are turning to echinacea.
Echinacea may also be helpful for recurring problems such as sinusitis, thrush, urinary tract infection, middle ear infections and acne. Pairs well with Agnus Castus for menstrual acne. There are no known side effects, although it is possible that people who are allergic to flowers from the same family (daisies) could also react to this herb. An analysis of previous research on echinacea published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases (Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2007) found that taking echinacea more than halves a person's chance of catching a cold and shortens the symptom time for those who did get the cold by 1.4 days. Some scientists and doctors argue that healthy people do not need the immune-system boosting effect of herbs such as echinacea, but many people find that they are much less susceptible to a whole range of health problems if they take this herb. These echinacea tablets from Lamberts Healthcare contain 250 mg of extract in each tablet, equivalent to 1000 mg of dried herb. Standardised extracts ensure that the amount of active ingredients is high enough to be effective. Tablets made simply from powdered herbs do not necessarily contain effective doses in each tablet.
