IMMUNE STIMULANT

Eliminate Colds With Echinacea

Dr. Michele Burklund June 25, 2013

Echinacea is one of the most well-known plants for fighting colds because it is effective for both viruses and bacteria all while stimulating the immune system.  

This plant is known to combat the common cold and is especially useful for upper respiratory infections.  

Echinacea is a triple threat not to be messed with... anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and immune stimulating!!!

Uses include:

  • Immune simulator

  • Skin infections (acne, herpes, and ulcers)

  • Sore throats

  • Tonsilitis

  • Weak immune systems

  • Candida
