Echinacea Angustifolia Herb Powder Cert. Organic: 1 lb: C Echinacea Angustifolia Herb Powder Cert. Organic: 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract tincture and lotion. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Echinacea pallida [Echinacea angustifolia] root for 'Supportive therapy for influenza-like infections.' 'Daily dosage: Tincture (1:5) with 50 percent (v/v) ethanol from native dry extract (50 percent ethanol, 7 - 11:1), corresponding to 900 mg herb. Information for children's dosage is not available. Mode of Administration: Liquid forms for oral administration. Duration of Administration: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Echinacea possesses confirmed anitbacterial and antiviral properties. It is profoundly supportive of the immune system, and, as Dr. Ellingwood's ecstatic clinical review below indicates (only part of which is quoted here), Echinacea's therapeutic power amazed practitioners. Echinacea is effective both internally, against such as colds, flu and tonsilitis, and externally against many kinds of stubborn skin problems. The decoction can be used as a mouthwash for pyorrhoea and gingivitis, and as a douche for vaginal infections. Echinacea is the subject of much contemporary research. Its complex chemistry seems to support the immune system by activating white blood cells. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon, an important part of the bodys response to viral infections. Many double-blind studies have confirmed what Ellingwood's extenvie clinical experience indicated, that echinacea is effective for treating colds and flu. Other modern clincial studies confirm that echinacea, taken both internally and used as a douche, is extremely effective against vaginal yeast infections. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Echinacea increases bodily resistance to infection and is used for boils, erysipelas, septicaemia, cancer, syphilis and other impurities of the blood, its action being antiseptic.' 'It has also useful properties as a strong alterative and aphrodisiac.' 'As an injection, the extract has been used for haemorrhoids and a tincture of the fresh root has been found beneficial in diphtheria and putrid fevers.'

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and lotion. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Purple coneflower herb (Echinacea purpurea) for 'Internal use: Supportive therapy for colds and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and lower urinary tract. External use: Poorly healing wounds and chronic ulcerations.' 'Contraindications External: None known. Internal: Progressive systemic diseases, such as tuberculosis, leucosis, collagenosis, multiple sclerosis. No parenteral administration in case of tendencies to allergies, especially allergies to members of the composite family (Asteraceae), as well as in pregnancy.' 'Daily dosage: 6 - 9 ml expressed juice; equivalent preparations. External: Semi-solid preparations containing at least 15 percent pressed juice. Mode of Administration: Pressed juice and galenical preparations for internal and external use. Duration of Administration: Preparations for internal and external use: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Actions: In human and/or animal experiments, Echinacea preparations given internally or parenterally have produced immune effects. Among others, the number of white blood cells and spleen cells is increased, the capacity for phagocytosis by human granulocytes is activated, and the body temperature is elevated.' Grieve: 'Echinacea purpurea has similar properties to E. angustifolia; the fresh root of this is the part used.' Ellingwood: 'There is considerable confusion concerning the identity of the active medicinal species of echinacea.

It is often used for the same purposes, but is universally disappointing. King introduced it into his dispensatory as rudbeckia purpurea.' The two forms of Echinacea share similar, but not identical, chemistries, and similar, but not identical, medical reputations. Echinacoside, for instance, is found in E. angustifolia but not E. purpurea.

Goldenseal is a broad spectrum antibiotic and fungicide, effective against a wide range of topical and internal infections of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts. Its use by Native America was widespread. It was used topically for skin and eye infections, as a mouthwash for canker sores, and as a tea for diarrhea, upper respiratory and vaginal infections. It was also used as a yellow dye for skins and fabrics. The two primary alkaloids in goldenseal are hydrastine and berberine, along with smaller amounts of canadine. They have demonstrated antimicrobial effects against a wide range of bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, including Chlamydia species, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Candida albicans and Entamoeba histolytica. Herbalists often recommend Goldenseal topically for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic actions, which make it useful to clean wounds, reduce hemorrhoids, soothe canker sores, and alleviate skin infections (including ringworm and athlete's foot).

Chewable Echinacea Cold King 60 Cherry tablets: K Chewable Echinacea Cold King 60 Cherry tablets: K

Echinacea Cold King is a chewable tablet containing Echinacea which has antiviral, anti-inflammatory properties, enhances immune response, cleanses the blood, stimulates the production of white blood cells and helps fight infection. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Purple coneflower herb (Echinacea purpurea) for 'Internal use: Supportive therapy for colds and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and lower urinary tract. External use: Poorly healing wounds and chronic ulcerations.' 'Contraindications External: None known. Internal: Progressive systemic diseases, such as tuberculosis, leucosis, collagenosis, multiple sclerosis. No parenteral administration in case of tendencies to allergies, especially allergies to members of the composite family (Asteraceae), as well as in pregnancy.' 'Daily dosage: 6 - 9 ml expressed juice; equivalent preparations. External: Semi-solid preparations containing at least 15 percent pressed juice. Mode of Administration: Pressed juice and galenical preparations for internal and external use. Duration of Administration: Preparations for internal and external use: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Actions: In human and/or animal experiments, Echinacea preparations given internally or parenterally have produced immune effects. Among others, the number of white blood cells and spleen cells is increased, the capacity for phagocytosis by human granulocytes is activated, and the body temperature is elevated.' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Echinacea pallida [Echinacea angustifolia] root for 'Supportive therapy for influenza-like infections.' 'Daily dosage: Tincture (1:5) with 50 percent (v/v) ethanol from native dry extract (50 percent ethanol, 7 - 11:1), corresponding to 900 mg herb. Information for children's dosage is not available. Mode of Administration: Liquid forms for oral administration. Duration of Administration: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Echinacea possesses confirmed anitbacterial and antiviral properties. It is profoundly supportive of the immune system, and, as Dr. Ellingwood's ecstatic clinical review below indicates (only part of which is quoted here), Echinacea's therapeutic power amazed practitioners. Echinacea is effective both internally, against such as colds, flu and tonsilitis, and externally against many kinds of stubborn skin problems. The decoction can be used as a mouthwash for pyorrhoea and gingivitis, and as a douche for vaginal infections. Echinacea is the subject of much contemporary research. Its complex chemistry seems to support the immune system by activating white blood cells. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon, an important part of the bodys response to viral infections. Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada.

" Supports the Body's Immune System* " Powdered Herb Echinacea is the world's best known herb for supporting the body's defense system. Generally, it is best to use Echinacea in eight-week cycles, separated by one-Week break.* The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Purple coneflower herb (Echinacea purpurea) for 'Internal use: Supportive therapy for colds and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and lower urinary tract.

Among others, the number of white blood cells and spleen cells is increased, the capacity for phagocytosis by human granulocytes is activated, and the body temperature is elevated.' Grieve: 'Echinacea purpurea has similar properties to E. angustifolia; the fresh root of this is the part used.' Ellingwood: 'There is considerable confusion concerning the identity of the active medicinal species of echinacea. The echinacea purpurea of the Eastern States has been thought to be identical with the echinacea angustifolia of the Western States. It is often used for the same purposes, but is universally disappointing. King introduced it into his dispensatory as rudbeckia purpurea.' The two forms of Echinacea share similar, but not identical, chemistries, and similar, but not identical, medical reputations. Echinacoside, for instance, is found in E. angustifolia but not E. purpurea. But the two plants are so closely related, that an amateur botanist would have difficulty telling one from the other by looks alone.
