The bushy plant known as Echinacea was originally a wild plant in the prairies of North America, where the Indians knew it as a healing herb. Since its discovery Echinacea has been cultivated in our countries, but not only for its healing properties: it is also appreciated in our gardens because of its beautiful big flowers.
One of the healing properties is to stimulating our immune system to resist various diseases and increase the general level of resistance. It is mainly used to prevent and treat different types of 'flu.
In those situations Echinacea is the ideal herbal remedy. The main active substance is Echinacoside. A number of secondary substances such as etheric oils, resins and a whole series of further elemental components work together in an inimitable way to improve resistence and to form a natural protection against 'flu risk, the spread of germs or tissue inflammations.
Scientific research in the field of immunology has shown that Echinacea has a positive effect not only on our resistence to 'flu and colds, but on the whole immune system.
Echinacea is a universal preparation for 'flu prevention, for lowering the risk of infection and against feverish infections.
