Echinacea is a traditional herbal medicine used to treat sore throats due to colds. The medicinal properties of this popular herb was originallydiscovered by the Native American Indian many years ago. The two most potent species of this plant include Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea. In all studies, Echinacea has no known toxicities, however, individuals with auto-immune diseases (ie. Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, etc.) are cautioned not to use Echinacea unless directed by a physician due to its potential immune-stimulating properties. Also, those with allergies to plants in the sunflower family should avoid taking Echinacea.
