Echinacea is an herb which is very popular for use with colds and flu. Echinacea was used for centuries by native Americans before the arrival of European explorers. In the 1800s, uses of Echinacea took off in the United States and the herb became popular in Europe as well. Echinacea is used in many Western nations because it is believed that the herb promotes immune system health and minimizes some of the symptoms of sickness.

Echinacea is a perennial plant which reaches one foot (30 centimeters) to two feet (60 centimeters) in height when it is mature. The plant is slightly spiky and has large pink to purple flowers, depending on the variety. The center of the flower forms a cone or seed head which is also spiky and dark brown to red in color. Three species of Echinaceaare used for medicinal purposes: Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida, and Echinacea purpurea.

Several laboratory and animal studies suggest that echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may recommend echinacea to use with urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida) infections, ear infections, athlete's foot, sinusitis, hay fever, as well as slow-healing wounds.
