Echinacea - purple coneflower - herbal medicine remedy

Thank you for your videos! They are so informative.

I drink Echinacea tea when I feel the first symptoms of a cold coming on, and it reduces the time and severity of the illness every time!

Is there any way you could make a video about how to make an echinacea tincture? I've heard many ways (seeds, blooms, 3 year or 7 year root) and I would like to know your thoughts on the subject. Thank you so much for all of your help.

how do i harvest the root of this plant and make the medicine myself?

[fogggygyrl]

I agree ladykom. I can only take it for a few days too.

[fogggygyrl]

Oh, now I know that echinacea is an antibacterial and elderberry is and antiviral. Thanks Susan.

well, being that autoimmune disorders are because in short your immune system is overactive, you dont want to make that worse..it causes the symptoms to exacerbate. I can take it somewhat, but not for 2 weeks like I used to..it can only be a few days at a time now :(

I am such a fan of this herb and recommend it wholeheartedly...tho now that I have an auto-immune disorder I am unable to take it as much as I would like. (and hence my immune system suffers...catch 22 there..) great info on this!

why couldn't you take it if you have an auto-immune disorder? I would think it would simply help you more.
