Quantum ZincEchinacea Roll, 14 lozenges within category: Echinacea
There's more misinformation out there about Echinacea than about any other herb. That's because Echinacea is one confusing herb! Or to be more precise, Echinacea is about six confusing herbs...
Are we talking about Echinacea purpurea? E. angustifolia? Any of a half-dozen other species? And then we have to ask ourselves if we're talking about dried plant material, juice, or an extract (and an alcohol extract or a water extract). From the root, the leaves, flowers?
There are more kinds of different kinds of "Echinacea" than there are kinds of fruit.
Here's what we do know:
-
In most clinical trials, Echinacea hasn't looked like it does much.
-
Most practicing herbalists use way more Echinacea than have been used in the research studies, and say that they see it work.
-
Interestingly, in one large trial where Echinacea didn't stop colds or flus in children, it did reduce the chance those same kids would get a second or third illness that winter....
-
Echinacea seems to work better combined with other herbs.
And perhaps the most important thing we know is this: millions of people swear that Echinacea works for them. If you're one of these people, then trust what your body tells you. It's smarter than any research study or "expert" opinion.
