Product Notes:
Traditionally used by indigenous North Americans for treating a variety of health concerns, Echinacea has survived the test of time as a health supplement - and it has also been successful in surviving the rigors of scientific scrutiny. One study of 95 people found that supplementation with Echinacea tea led to increased feelings of recovery when compared to those drinking tea without Echinacea.
Another study has suggested that supplementation with Echinacea prior to illness decreases the likelihood of becoming sick by 58%, and that supplementation during illness may decrease the duration of colds by 1-4 days. Consequently, the German government agency responsible for much of the research on Echinacea has approved it as a means of treatment for colds, slow healing wounds, upper respiratory tract infections, and urinary tract infections.
