Most of the time we get sick because our immune strength is week or our immune system deficiencies.
Herbalism was the first form of medicine, since the ancient times.
Medicinal plants were used to treat various diseases. Today we are going to talk about Echinacea.
Echinacea originates from North America, it has tall stems, and bears single pink or purple flowers.
Echinacea has antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is an immune system booster and it can be used as an antidote against colds, flue, and plethora.
The whole plant can be used in form of tea, infusion oils or balms for insect bites and stomach cramps and urinary tract infections.
In a pot of boiling water, add 1tbsp of Echinacea loose tea, allow to step for 15-25 min and drink 2-3 cups per day.
Enjoy!
