Echinacea Reviews

A friend gave me Enchinace because I have a mild case of lack-tose and tollerant and thought it might help! And it did, it gives me energy and now I can eat dairy products without worring about getting sick! Completely recommend.

As a doctor, it is almost within my nature to assume that anything that involves the word 'herbal' is to be ignored. It is a fact that in the medical profession, the majority of us just don't like herbal remedies. They don't have evidence behind them, and we cannot prescribe them, so they cannot work. Yet Echinacea is one of the few things that I ...  Read the complete review

What do you do when you feel a cold coming on? At the first sign of a tickly throat, I used to reach immediately for the Vitamin C and the Paracetemol. But now my first port of call is Echinacea drops. Also known as the purple coneflower, this herb is used as an ornament in many gardens. But as well as being pretty, it also has the ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ The ‘mad cabbie’ was driving a fare out to an outlying suburb of Dublin city a few months back, and somehow the conversation got around to health, and the everyday ailments that seem to affect lots of folks. This guy was ages with myself, (young minded middle aged) and like me suffered from a bad chest (prone to chest ...  Read the complete review

I have used Echinacea for a number of years as a booster for my immune system. It starts working within 5 minutes and I feel it lifts my spirit as well as combating viruses. I use it whenever I start a cold or feel just under the weather. You can buy Echinacea in concentrate, diluted or as a mouth spray, the latter being the most ...  Read the complete review

Bioforce Echinacea I discovered Echinacea about 3 years ago. I work in London in a huge office block with plenty of air conditioning - the germs just circulate around and around, mutating as they go, so that you can end up having a cold throughout the winter months - very depressing. I was in a health food shop and saw a bottle ...  Read the complete review

If you had told someone to take echinacea a couple of years ago, the chances are that they would have looked at you a little strangely. "Eki....what?" Indeed even today many people are a little unsure as to what echinacea is, yet it is widely available in supermarkets, chemists and health stores and many people are amazed by the results ...  Read the complete review

Echinacea was a word only said by earnest herbalists and new-agers until recently. Then it passed a few recognised scientific tests and became the latest thing. I think that’s a pity, as it is in danger of being as over-used as antibiotics. There are also some dangers associated with it, which I’ll explain later. First, what ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I'm the oldest of eight, I have three children, my brother has three, and so does my cousin. We've been using echinachea for years for any "under the weather" symptoms. During flu season, my sister-in-law puts drops in the pitcher of 100% juice. Also, a great tip for toddlers is to put half a dropper in their juice cup. They ...  Read the complete review

When you just dont have time to be sick, I definatly recommend getting some Echineaca.(sorry if spelling is not right).

The package contained enough pills for five days, and cost about the same as the other cold remedies, but my goodness did they work quickly. I started to feel ...  Read the complete review

I'm writing this opinion to let everyone know that I've recently learned that ecinacea is only supposed to be taken on a 2 week on, 2 week off peroiod. It's not harmfull if taken all the time but it's effectivity does wear off as your body gets used to it. Infact, not only was I told this by a profesional, but some of the bottles ...  Read the complete review
