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.

It works for my coughing! I had a persistent cough for months, with a constant tickle in my throat. I followed the directions and used it just once a day. My cough was gone after one week. I wouldn’t use it for an extended period.

I LOVE THIS BRAND.. NO ALCOHOL. I've been using Echinacea or Echinacea and Goldenseal formula drops for years. I appreciate the "no alcohol" aspect as they don't burn. This brand is excellent quality. The moment I feel any illness coming on—cold, sore throat, any signs of symptoms—I begin my drop routine. I fill the dropper quite full and squirt it in my mouth every 2 to 3 hours. This routine is crucial at the onset of symptoms. I NEVER GET A COLD OR FLU... NEVER!!! I’m certain everyone’s immune systems are different, but they have been proven to resist colds and flus effectively.

We explored the potential of Echinacea purpurea, a popular herbal remedy, in treating asthma symptoms. In our study, we isolated a complex from Echinacea flowers and tested it on guinea pigs that had allergic asthma triggered by ovalbumin exposure.
Over 14 days, the guinea pigs received a daily dose of this Echinacea extract. We measured its effectiveness by looking at various factors, including airway resistance and the contraction of smooth muscle in the lungs. Interestingly, we observed that Echinacea had significant bronchodilatory effects, helping to open up the airways, similar to conventional asthma medications.
Furthermore, we found that this herbal complex had anti-inflammatory properties. By measuring levels of certain asthma-related cytokines in the blood and lungs, we noted that Echinacea helped reduce inflammation, which is a key issue in asthma.
Our findings suggest that Echinacea can be a viable supplementary treatment for asthma sufferers, providing a natural option alongside traditional medications. With growing interest in immunomodulatory uses of herbs, this study strengthens the case for including Echinacea in holistic asthma management strategies.

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.
