Fights Infection
Echinacea is also a fantastic remedy for a whole slew of infections. One study found that taking echinacea and applying a medicated cream to the skin can lower the rate of reoccurring vaginal infections by to 16 percent compared to simply taking the medicine alone.
It’s also known to help with:

Helps Improve Mental Health
Echinacea angustifolia is the recommended species to help with specific ailments related to ADD/ADHD. Children with ADHD disorder or depression, echinacea was among the most common herbal medicines given for behavioral symptoms. Eighty-three percent of caregivers said they gave herbal medicines alone, whereas 13 percent gave herbal medicines with prescription drugs with the supervision of a health care professional.
Both adults and children suffering from ADD/ADHD have a higher-than-normal chance of experiencing emotional disturbances, especially:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Social phobias
Again, dosage is key. It’s recommended that people only take 20 milligrams at a time and no more.
In fact, taking more than 20 milligrams per dose can actually cancel out the echinacea benefits that relieve anxiety.
PRECAUTIONS:
When taken by mouth: Echinacea is likely safe for most people in the short-term. Various echinacea products have been used safely for up to 10 days. Some products, such as Echinaforce (A. Vogel Bioforce AG), have been used safely for up to 6 months.
The most common side effects are stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, vomiting, and rash. Allergic reactions might occur in some people, especially in people who are allergic to ragweed, mums, marigolds, or daisies.
SUMMARY:
There are many traditional echinacea benefits and uses, but the strongest scientific evidence available currently supports echinacea use (as echinacea extract or echinacea tea) as a way to help slow the development and reduce the intensity and duration of upper respiratory viral infections, such as the common cold and influenza (flu).
Other echinacea uses supported by controlled trials include helping combat cancer, boosting immunity, alleviating pain, treating constipation, fighting inflammation, improving skin and more.
You can grow your own echinacea and make your own homemade extract to try out the power of echinacea uses, but start slow and in small doses to avoid allergic reactions to the herb or other adverse side effects.
