My Experience 

with this wonderful herb

I take echinacea every time I get sick. As soon as I feel a cold coming on, I start taking the pills. The supplement that I use is 3 pills 2-3 times a day. 3 pills is 1,140mg.

With a little extra Vitamin C and Zinc, I usually kill a cold before it even sets in.

Please remember: Everyone reacts differently to medicines, be they pharmaceutical or herbal. And aways talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement.

Echinacea on Wikipedia 

Echinacea (),Sunset Western Garden Book, 1995:606?607 is a genus of nine species of herbaceous plants in the family Asteraceae which are commonly called purple coneflowers. All are endemic to eastern and central North America, where they are found growing in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The genus name is from the Greek echino, meaning "spiny," due to the spiny central disk. Some species are used in herbal medicines and some are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. A few species are of conservation concern.
