Echinacea

Pleasantly savoury. A powerful immune system tonic. It is indicated in the treatment of  viruses, colds, flu, urinary infections, or where the immune system is compromised.

Avoid in pregnancy or if breast feeding, if there is an allergy to the daisy family, or where there is any auto immune system disorder (Lupus, MS, HIV, TB, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polymyalgia). Consult your G.P. if you have recently taken any anti-cancer medication. If you drink Echinacea on a regular basis, ensure you take a break of a few days every 3 weeks.
