Indications for Use

Recent studies have suggested that Echinacea may be less effective at preventing colds and flus and may have better efficacy in treating the symptoms of these conditions when used at the onset of these conditions. Echinacea is recommended for upper respiratory tract infections such as cold and flu. Furthermore, liquid Echinacea may help soothe a sore and inflamed throat.
