This is very effective against colds and the flu. I use it when I feel the initial symptoms of a cold or flu, such as a sore throat or chills. I haven't caught a cold or flu this season, despite being around sick people. I take it with water or place a small amount under my tongue, which stings slightly. The taste and smell are actually better than other brands of echinacea I've tried.

We conducted a study to explore whether Echinacea purpurea, a popular herbal remedy, could help prevent ear infections in children prone to recurrent otitis media. The research involved a randomized, placebo-controlled trial where ninety young children between 12 and 60 months participated. They were divided into four groups, either receiving Echinacea with or without osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), or placebos for both.
Over six months, we observed that treating colds with Echinacea did not significantly reduce the risk of developing acute otitis media. In fact, there is some indication that it may actually increase the risk of these infections. Similarly, the osteopathic manipulative treatments offered during the study did not provide any significant benefits in preventing ear infections either.
It's essential to take these findings seriously, as they suggest that Echinacea may not be the effective solution many parents hope for when dealing with their child's recurrent ear issues.

I always keep Echinacea in the medicine cabinet for the cold and flu season. It works wonders when I feel something coming on.

Echinacea shows flu treatment promise
We explored the effectiveness of Echinaforce Hotdrink, an echinacea-based formulation, against oseltamivir, a standard flu treatment. In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 473 patients with early flu symptoms, we found that both treatments led to similar recovery rates.
Echinaforce showed a promising profile with fewer complications and side effects, making it an appealing option for those looking for self-care alternatives in flu treatment. This study sheds light on the potential of echinacea as a viable treatment for influenza.

Super Echinacea has kept me from catching a cold or flu for three years! I start taking it at the onset of flu symptoms, and it knocks them out within a day. I also begin taking it proactively when I hear of others getting ill. I didn’t get sick for three years while everyone around me was! When I ran out, I got sick during a flu outbreak. I take it every three hours with some orange juice for convenience. The concentration of Herb Pharm Super Echinacea is what makes it so effective.

Prevents colds effectively

Super Echinacea prevented me from getting a cold or flu for three years. Whenever I felt symptoms coming on, it would knock them out within a day. I took it at the first signs of a cold or flu. When I ran out for a month during flu season, I did get sick. I found that taking three dropper fulls every three hours was effective at stopping colds. To be convenient, I would pour orange juice into a water bottle and add the dropper fulls of Echinacea for the day, sipping it throughout the day. Herb Pharm's Super Echinacea is very concentrated, hence its effectiveness.

In a comprehensive clinical trial, we examined the effectiveness of Echinacea purpurea as a preventative measure against the common cold. This research stands out as the largest of its kind, evaluating both the safety and benefits of Echinacea over a long-term treatment period of four months.
We found that this proprietary extract of Echinacea, known as Echinaforce, proved to be beneficial in several ways. It significantly reduced the total number of cold episodes and the duration of those colds. Additionally, participants required fewer medications to cope with their symptoms, highlighting Echinacea's potential as a natural remedy.
Importantly, the extract showed impressive results, particularly for individuals who often experience recurrent infections. The study also indicated that the more closely individuals followed the recommended protocol, the better the preventive effects. Overall, we feel encouraged by the positive risk-to-benefit ratio of Echinacea purpurea when taken as directed for the common cold.

An essential item to have on hand. Whenever I use echinacea at the first sign of a cold, I avoid becoming ill. I recommend using it at the first hint of symptoms for maximum effectiveness.
