14 DAY TRIAL // Echinacea is one of herbs with the most beneficial effects upon human health, as it can cure almost any kind of disease. That is why this herb can be seen as a holistic remedy - it does not treat only one area of the body or one kind of health disorder, its powers go beyond local impairments and spread throughout all our organism.
Echinacea has been used since ancient times by Native American Tribes in order to prevent or treat frequent health problems such as cold or influenza symptoms. It was also used by Native Americans in order to keep infections away and it was "universally used as an antidote for snakebite and other venomous bites and stings and poisonous conditions. Echinacea seems to have been used as a remedy for more ailments than any other plant," anthropologist Melvin Gilmore notes in his well-known Uses of Plants by Indians of the Missouri River Region, published in 1919.
After discovering the various positive effects Echinacea has on our health, Europeans also began to use it extensively in order to cure different ailments or serious conditions or simply for preserving their health intact. In the 1930s Dr. Gerhard Madaus, a German scientist, carried out extended studies on this miraculous herbal healer and also developed the Echinacin curing product. Echinacin is a natural juice made from the flowers, leaves and stems of Echinacea that is used by an extremely high number of people across the world for treating all kinds of health impairments.
Echinacea's miraculous powers lie in its ingredients, as this herb is laden with vitamins A, C, and E and a large number of nutritive minerals - copper, iron, potassium and the halogen iodine. It is also rich in all kinds of antioxidant and other beneficial elements such as: oils, polysaccharides, phenols (cichoric, caffeic, and caftaric acids and echinacoside), flavonoids and alkylamides.
Modern medicine findings show that Echinacea functions upon our health by stimulating and strengthening our body's immune system. Besides stimulating the T cells of the immune system, the herb was proven to slow and even prevent the formation of an enzyme called hyaluronidase in our organism.
This enzyme is found in reptile venom and functions by dissolving the gel-like substance present around human cells, that protects them from exterior infectious factors. Hyaluronidase in the venom helps increasing, in this way, the rate of its absorption by the human body and this is how it becomes extremely harmful to our health.
Hyaluronidase enzyme is also used by other dangerous bacteria to dissolve the connective tissue in our body and to get more easily and deeper into our bodies. Therefore, the enzyme increases the permeability of connective tissue and the absorption of fluids. But Echinacea helps the body by annihilating its formation.
It is seen as one of the most potent natural antibiotics, as it keeps infections off our body, prevents or treats skin lesions and is also an anti-inflammatory agent. Many cosmetic companies use it for a variety of skin care products - especially creams, lotions, ointments - as this herb is antialergenic, prevents the skin from allergies and soothes it at the same time.
Due to its anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties, Echinacea is commonly used by people to reduce the severity of colds and flues and also to shorten the period of these conditions' installation in human bodies. The herb is very effective against colds and flues' symptoms such as sore throat, cough etc.
The supreme natural antibiotic that is Echinacea is used to treat more serious forms of infections such as respiratory, urinary, fungal, sinus, kidney infections. It is also extremely effective against fever, insect bites and skin problems - all kinds of lesions and wounds, sun burns, acne, eczema, psoriasis, candida, herpes etc.
