We explored how Echinacea purpurea, a plant commonly used in herbal tea, might help relieve allergies by focusing on its effects on mast cells. Mast cells play a significant role in type-I allergies, such as hay fever, by releasing histamine and leukotrienes—substances that cause allergic symptoms.

Our evaluation involved water extracts from the petals, leaves, and stems of Echinacea purpurea. We specifically looked at how these extracts influenced the release of histamine and other chemical mediators from mast cell lines. The results were quite interesting: both petal and leaf extracts significantly reduced histamine release in stimulated cells. However, the stem extract did not show any effect.

Notably, we found that the petal extract was much more effective than the leaf extract. Additionally, all extracts effectively suppressed leukotriene B4 production, which is another mediator involved in allergic reactions. The petal extract also seemed to decrease certain cellular signaling events associated with mast cell activation.

Overall, our findings suggest that Echinacea purpurea petal extract could potentially help alleviate allergic symptoms, particularly in conditions like hay fever.

To prevent colds ⭐️ Is your throat sore? I apply a few drops at the first sign, and it’s gone the next day. The taste is strong and sweet, which some may not enjoy (my daughter dislikes it), but I mix it into her water. I appreciate that it is alcohol-free.

Echinacea's promise against colds

Ross SM. Echinacea purpurea: A Proprietary Extract of Echinacea purpurea Is Shown to be Safe and Effective in the Prevention of the Common Cold. Holist Nurs Pract. 2016;30:54. doi:10.1097/HNP.0000000000000130

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.
