A question about A HERBAL SUPPLEMENT?
Answer:
Echinacea is a tonic herb that can raise or lower your white blood cell count as needed. If you're immune system isn't strong enough, it will raise white blood cells. If it's too high (overactive immune system causes allergies), it will lower them. Echinacea also has it's own antibacterial properties to fight strep and staph infections. Echinacea is indeed a wonderful thing :)
I would take it a lot during a cold, but once a week otherwise. You'll become immune to the effects, like anything else, if you take it daily. I take it and have been for years. I've had a cold once in the past 4 years. I used to get sick all the time.
Since it's illegal for herb manufacturers to print anything on the label about it curing, they have to put things like supports resistance or supports health. The FDA makes them beat around the bush.
I THINK it means the resistance of your Immune system
got info from typing in Echinacea & a bunch of web sites about it came up
That supplement is supposed to inhance your immune system. I have never actually read a bottle, but keep in mind that most of the things that supplements claim to do are not FDA approved.
Supports your immune system's natural resistance theu the use of herbs.and while its true that the FDA does not approve of many vitamins and supplements, keep in mind THEIR pockets are lined with the sales of pharmaceuticals!!
As always, be an informed consumer in whatever you do :)
What it means is that echinacea ENHANCES natural resistance.
In other words it boosts your immune system but only in the short term.
If you take echinacea for a prolonged period then eventually it may start doing the opposite and it may actually weaken your immune system.
Echinacea is OK for short term use but totally unsuitable for long term use.
That means it boosts your ability to resist sicknesses, like colds.
It strengthens your immune system.
Hi c'mon, yes all correctly "SUPPORTS NATURAL RESISTANCE", in other words the echinacea herb is a stimulant for the immune system. The herb boosts the ability of macrophages (infection fighting white blood cells) to fight off invading germs. When taking the echinacea herb as part of your herbal medicine regime, infections cased by viruses, bacteria and fungus will heal much faster than without it.
Also you know, that the Indians used the mashed roots on everything from wounds to snakebites. It was used as a mouthwash to help with painful teeth and gums. They brewed Echinacea herbs as teas for colds and other maladies, like measles and arthritis. The Indians prized this herb for its value in herbal medicine. They thought that the echinacea herb was a blood purifier.
