Description
Most of the actions of Echinacea can all be related to proper immune system functioning. In times of stress, in harsh environments or seasons, whenever the body is in need of reinforcement, Echinacea may supply the boost required to maintain the lines of resistance, to mend injured tissue, and to stimulate healthy body functioning. The common cold, influenza outbreaks, mild to moderate infections of all kinds are still fair game for the use of Echinacea, but the main use of the plant is to boost the immune system.
Echinacea is a traditional herbal medicine used to treat sore throats due to colds. The medicinal properties of this popular herb was originate discovered 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.

Directions
Fresh drawn, boiling water contains the most oxygen, thereby giving the fullest taste to tea. Water that has been boiling for some time looses the oxygen and thereby the best taste.
Allow full expansion during the infusion and easy removal after the time for steeping has elapsed.
Draw into a tea pot or kettle the best fresh water that you have available.
Warm the teapot and cups while the water is boiling.
Cautions
No known toxicities.
If symptoms are severe or persist for more than two days, consult a physician.
Echinacea is contraindicated in those with an auto-immune disease (ie. Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS etc.) or allergies to plants in sunflower family. Not recommended for preqnant or lactating women or those with allergies to soya.
