Echinacea Tincture

.Echinacea was a traditional remedy of the Native American Indians in the Great Plains, where it grows wild. The Cheyenne, Comanche, and other tribes used it for many ailments, including toothaches, sore throats, tonsillitis, coughs, and blood and lymphatic diseases.

Echinacin also improves immune function by "increasing the chemical recognition of an invading pathogen... the speed at which the immune cells migrate to the site of infection and destroy the invader is markedly increased." Weissbuch documents Echinacea's "enhancement of native interferon production," which blocks the "transcription of viral and cancer cell DNA, preventing further infection and malignancy."
