Echinacea-
These are those pretty purple coneflowers that bring an abundance of beauty to any garden....But the medicinal properties of this herb is amazing! Echinacea is an incredible antibiotic, one of natures best! It activates leukocytes (white blood cells, our body's infection soldiers). It increases your bodies immune level and is a heavy hitter to bacteria infections and inflammations. How? Why? So glad you asked! Echinacea inhibits hyaluronidase enzyme. This is the enzyme that causes the spread of bacteria. Echinacea is also a blood purifier. <BR>Now my favorite property of Echinacea is it's ability to fight cold and flus. This herb is most effective at the very first sign of cold/flu. I keep this herb in my herbal pantry. It even helped to break my 2 year old's fever last night. I've never had the flu shot and my children don't get the shot either. Nature is medicine cabinet.  So the next sign of cold/flu try Echinacea. Keep this herb in your herbal medicine chest.
