One of the most popular herbal remedies in the world, echinacea contains active ingredients thought to fight colds, flu, and other infections. There are nine species of this herb, commonly called the purple coneflower, but just three (Echinacea angustifolia, E. pallida, and E. purpurea) are used medicinally. Various parts of the plant (flowers, leaves, stems, or roots) from a variety of species appear in literally hundreds of commercial preparations. Depending on the species and plant part used, the herb will stimulate the immune system and combat bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing microbes.
Both safe and powerful, echinacea stimulates various immune system cells that are key weapons against infection. The herb also helps boost the cells' production of a virus-fighting substance called interferon.
Specifically, echinacea may help to:
·  Reduce susceptibility to and duration of colds, flu, and sore throat. Echinacea is most effective if taken at the first sign of a cold, the flu, or a sore throat. Though findings vary, in one study, those using the herb for eight weeks were 35% less likely to catch a cold than those on a placebo. If you've already got the aches, congestion, or fever common to colds or flu, echinacea can cause these symptoms to be less severe and to subside sooner.
·  Fight recurrent respiratory infections, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, strep throat, and earache. The herb's immune-boosting properties make it particularly helpful for fighting chronic upper respiratory infections. For best results, take echinacea at the first sign of illness.
·  Combat vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections. As an immune-booster, echinacea can be particularly helpful for fighting these recurrent infections. For yeast infections, the herb seems to stimulate white blood cells to destroy the yeast. Urinary tract infections can be helped by consuming extra fluids, including immune-boosting echinacea tea, which helps wash away the bacteria.
·  Promote healing of skin wounds and inflammations, including canker sores, burns, and cuts and scrapes. As a natural antibiotic and infection fighter, echinacea promotes the healing of all kinds of skin irritations, including burns, cuts and scrapes, boils, abscesses, canker sores, and eczema, as well as herpes infections (including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles). It can be applied topically to a wound or be taken internally to strengthen the immune system.
·  Treat chronic fatigue syndrome. Echinacea is currently being studied as a possible treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition marked by profound and persistent exhaustion. One theory holds that this mysterious disorder represents the body's response to a past viral infection that managed to permanently weaken the immune system. By bolstering the immune system and fighting any further viral (or bacterial) presence, echinacea may help those who suffer from this disorder.
·  Build immunity during cancer treatments and possibly protect against certain forms of cancer. Rotating echinacea with extracts of medicinal mushrooms may help to strengthen overall immunity during cancer treatments. While additional research is needed to define the potential role of echinacea in fighting cancer, a small German study showed that in patients with advanced colon cancer the herb appeared to prolong survival in those who took it in conjunction with standard chemotherapy. The herb presumably boosted the immune system's ability to fight invading cancer cells.**
