Echinacea is fast becoming a very popular herb to help prevent cold and flu, to cleanse the body and to fight more serious illness. As an antiviral and antibiotic, it strengthens the immune system. Echinacea doubles as a cancer fighter. It even helps rebuild tissue damaged by illness. There is some evidence that Echinacea may fight rheumatism, various inflammations and asthma. For more detailed information, try these best-selling books on the benefits and side effects of Echinacea. Along with a long list of beneficial chemicals, the nutrients in Echinacea include B-Complex Vitamins, Calcium, Chromium, Manganese, Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
Echinacea should be taken under doctor supervision because it interacts with some prescription medicines and it may complicate some illnesses. Also, male infertility may occur during heavy use of the herb. Echinacea may have a "time-release" effect on drugs and herbs taken at the same time.
