I've never ...Echinacea has NEVER worked for me. I've never understood why people raved about it. I got nothing from it. About 8 years ago, I started using astragalus instead and it was just magic. One of the few things I've taken that gave me noticeable relief in 10-15 minutes. <br /><br />Echinacea honey is supposed to help with fall allergies as an innoculation because it's related to ragweed. Who knew? (not honey with echinacea added to it. honey harvested from echinacea flowers) Google "echinacea honey." It's out there :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540493633885251292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203803677748336080.post-69723637208947713472012-11-12T13:39:09.156-06:002012-11-12T13:39:09.156-06:00Yes, my kids would drink it by the cup!Yes, my kids would drink it by the cup!Breadwithhoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755962376048553094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203803677748336080.post-27887353795454118542012-11-12T13:38:39.317-06:002012-11-12T13:38:39.317-06:00Hi, Trinity, thanks for the comment. Apparently 1...Hi, Trinity, thanks for the comment. Apparently 1 Tablespoon of the fresh juice per day is chemically much more active than the tincture. ? This info is from the latest version on Herbal Antibiotics that I mentioned in the post. According to that book, and my personal physician, some reputable studies were done on echinacea tincture and it failed to help cure coughs and colds. So my doctor was saying this prevents him fromk being able to use it in his 'evidence-based' practice. I'd never heard of using echunacea juice eithger, myself. Also according to the book the use of echinacea is pretty modern; apparently it didn't come into folk usein the USA untill the 1800's. That's the only source for this info I've found.
