This absolutely brilliant, wonderful, amazing - any other superlative you care to add - remedy was one I had read lots about but been sceptical as to its real efficacy versus the placebo effect....people raved about it so much that I thought it must just be the latest "cool" fad. I should possibly have known better, since I've found a few herbal and a LOT of homeopathic remedies to be extremely effective, but the long and short of it is, I didn't get around to trying it until my Siamese cat, who has a variety of obscure ailments, including a rare blood disorder, became seriously ill again following a third "stroke". While she ws at the vet's she got a respiratory infection, and was very ill indeed. The conventional medications were having no discernable effect, but when she finished the course of treatment I put her on a course of Echinacea rather as a last resort, and was totally gobmacked (if you'll forgive the expression!) to see a marked improvement in her within 24 hours. She's been left with a chronic sniffle, but whenever it flares up I put her back on a tablet a day for three days, and she gets a lot better each time.
WONDERFUL remedy!
