It’s cold & flu season
Preventing yourself from getting the cold has probably been on your mind and you might not have known that this herb could help reduce your chances of contracting the cold as well as other infections. In a recent 2012 study, by Amy C. Keller from the American Botanical Council, further discovery when using Echinacea proved to be both safe and effective in helping to prevent symptoms of the common cold. The American Botanical Council released this statement in a news release:
The results showed that subjects using the Swiss echinacea extract had significantly fewer incidences of cold or flu symptoms (149 colds lasting a combined total of 672 days, while subjects in the placebo group reported 188 colds lasting 850 total days), decreased recurrence of such symptoms (65 vs. 100), respectively), less appearance of influenza-type viral infections, and had to rely less on the use of conventional over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen or ibuprofen — frequently used by the public to help reduce cold symptoms — than those persons taking the placebo preparation.
This is exciting herbal news, but like any alternative medicinal practice, it’s best to seek out a professional’s advice. You never know, you could end up being allergic to the poor herb. If you aren’t allergic and can obtain the herb than you should keep on reading.
