1. Echinacea is widely used to fight infections, especially the common cold and other

upper respiratory infections.Research to date shows that echinacea probably modestly

reduces cold symptoms, but it's not clear whether it helps prevent colds from developing.

infections, vaginal yeast infections, genital herpes, bloodstream infections (septicemia),

ulcers, burns, eczema, psoriasis, UV radiation skin damage, herpessimplex, bee stings, and
