Echinacea is most commonly used to prevent and treat the common cold, and for good reason. It is thought to be an immune modulator, which is a substance that modifies or regulates the immune system. This helps your immune system combat infections and viruses, and can help you to recover faster from illness. This can also help to reduce the risk of developing an upper respiratory infection. Aside from the common cold, Echinacea could also be helpful in lowering blood sugar levels, which can reduce the risk of health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Antioxidants found in Echinacea could also help to improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, and it has been shown to suppress enzymes that digest carbohydrates, which means that it could potentially reduce the amount of sugar entering the blood stream! Echinacea contains alkanoids and other compounds that are said to reduce feelings of anxiety, making it a potential aid for anxiety symptoms. Its anti-inflammatory compounds could help reduce excess inflammation, chronic pain and swelling due to inflammation, and even memory loss caused by inflammation. There are even some studies suggesting that Echinacea could suppress cancer cell growth, and even trigger cancer cell death. It is believed that this effect occurs due to its immune boosting properties, however, more research is needed and it could interact with conventional cancer treatments, so please always consult a healthcare professional before use.
