Native to the United States, Echinacea is most often used to prevent colds; however, it is also used for treating pain, inflammation, and headaches. It may improve the effectiveness of the immune system, making immune system cells better at fighting bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells, such as cancerous ones.
Studies have shown that echinacea may lower blood sugar levels, reducing health risks for those with type II diabetes, heart disease, and other various conditions.
Native Americans have used Echinacea for hundreds of years as a treatment for a variety of ailments.
