Medicinal Use:
Echinacea is known for its immunostimulant, bacteriostatic, and anti-viral properties. It activates macrophages, increases white blood cell levels, and inhibits microbial hyaluronidase, making it a useful short-term immune booster (2 weeks maximum). However, it is contraindicated in autoimmune disorders and progressive diseases.
