Echinacea Nature's Immune Enhancer

"Echinacea (also known as Purple Coneflower) is indigenous to North America and recognized as one of the most versatile of all known medicinal herbs. A non-specific stimulant to the immune system, it was considered in Native American medicine to have more healing uses than any other plant.

The past fifty years of research on Echinacea have shown that it is effective in treating inflammation and wounds and in helping to prevent certain viral and bacterial infections (including colds and flu). It is also a potentially useful therapeutic agent in the treatment of diseases ranging from asthma to some forms of cancer. Echinacea: Nature's Immune Enhancer chronicles the unique story of this amazing plant - from its fascinating and controversial medical history to the extensive research conducted on Echinacea in Germany - providing the most comprehensive information on the subject available to the lay reader."
