The Health Benefits of Echinacea (Echinacea species) Tea

Echinacea is one of the most used herbs when it comes to colds, flu and boosting the immune system when one is sick.  the actions and uses of this echinacea are as follows from Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing:

Fights inflammation and bacterial and viral infection.  Stimulates certain white blood cells.  Good for the immune system and the lymphatic system.  useful for allergies, colic, colds, flu, and other infectious illnesses.

Nutrients: Calcium, iron, magnesium, maganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and C.

Caution: It should be used with caution by people who are allergic to ragweed or to plants in the sunflower family.  Should not be taken for prolonged periods by people with autoimmune disorders, as it stimulates the immune system.

I’ve taken echinacea both as a supplement in both tablet and liquid forms, and as a tea.  I found the teas helped me just as much as the supplements.  Celestial Seasonings Echinacea Complete Care tea is blended with peppermint leaves, licorice root, roasted chicory root, natural menthol extract, eucalyptus leaves, ascorbic acid, lavender flowers, stevia leaves, star anise and zinc.  Alvita, another popular tea company, carries both Echinacea and Echinacea with Goldenseal, which can give your immune system an added boost.

From Alvita,

Echinacea/Goldenseal is an excellent combination of herbs for all kinds of viral & bacterial infections, strengthens the immune system against pathogenic infection by stimulating phagocytosis & T-Cell formation, blood cleansing properties, acne, bronchitis, colds & flu, congestion, psoriasis, tonsillitis, wounds, ear infections and stimulates the immune system.

I recommend you seek out this wellness tea if you haven’t tried it already.  It definitely help me when I feeling under the weather.  I even take it when I just need a little boost; as I did today.
