Echinacea

Its secret lies in the root, which contains polysaccharides, which give the plant immunostimulant properties. For this reason, it is used in phytotherapy to promote natural defenses, as it stimulates the immune system, thus supporting the body against infectious attacks.

The great interest in the properties of echinacea derives from its ability, confirmed by numerous studies (including those by Professor Ronald Eccles, director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University, and researchers at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy, led by Dr. Craig Coleman) , to strengthen the immune system, stimulating both the efficiency and the number of some of its precious fundamental elements such as antibodies, T lymphocytes and macrophages, true soldiers against infections.

Echinacea has been studied throughout the world, from Germany to the United Kingdom to North America, and all studies have confirmed its exceptional immunostimulatory properties.

For centuries, it has been used by Native Americans, who prepared infusions to treat coughs, colds, and sore throats. It was also used externally for wounds and burns.
