Echinacea is a Central North American plant whose flowers resemble slightly tousled marguerites (whence its name, echinos in Greek meaning hedgehog). Its roots were used by the American Indians (Sioux, Comanches) as an external application to treat wounds, insect stings and snake bites. They also used to chew it to combat toothache and sore throats.
There are several species in existence whose composition of active constituents varies slightly.
Today, numerous studies have confirmed its efficacy: it is used not only to treat, but also to cure, chills as well as bacterial or viral infections. It has proved to be particularly valuable in cases of coughs, colds, flu and bronchitis.
A comparative study was conducted on 559 healthy subjects: the 246 people who had caught colds during the 6-month study were treated for a week, one half with herbal extracts and echinacea roots, the other half with a placebo. The study showed that the people treated with echinacea recovered more quickly than those who were treated with a placebo! A Canadian study also showed that the severity of symptoms was 25% lower when the patients were treated with echinacea.
In conclusion, the association of Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia apparently had a beneficial and fortifying effect against winter afflictions (flu, chills, colds etc.) by reducing the frequency and intensity of the symptoms.
