There are plants that are great enhancers of the immune system, such as echinacea. 02/11/2013 | 0 Comments | ECO News, Winter The Echinacea plant is a member of the Asteraceae or compound family. There are different species, among them the best known is the Echinacea purpúrea. Its flowers are solitary, purple to deep red, up to 7 cm long. It is a widely diffused species in North America. For centuries it was a very important medicine for Native Americans, who used it to treat snake bites, common fevers and minor infections, as well as typhoid fever, meningitis, malaria, diphtheria, etc. In a publication of Materia Medica Americana (1983), Elimgwood highlighted that this species destroys germs directly from infections and strengthens the body's defenses by increasing the content of white blood cells, also regulating body temperature. Echinacea has traditionally been used to treat or prevent colds, flu, and other infections. They are believed to boost the immune system and can help fight infection. It has also been used to treat wounds and skin problems, such as acne or boils. The emea (European Mecines Agency) monograph establishes the prevention and short-term treatment of the common cold as an approved indication. According to a recent research (2012), supplementing with ECHINÁ? CEA can help prevent the common cold, reducing its severity and duration: Jawad's team and collaborators have published a study that evaluates the safety (risk) and efficacy (benefit) of purple echinacea extract in the prevention of episodes of the common cold in a population over a period of four months. 755 healthy people participated in the study and the results have shown significant therapeutic benefits. The group that took the Echinacea extract reduced cold episodes and prevented virus infection, as well as shown to have good effects on recurrent infections. The authors conclude that prolonged treatment with E. purpurea may be recommended . for 4 months. Reference: M. Jawad, R. Schoop, A. Suter, P. Klein, and R. Eccles.
