Echinacea

Many people think the benefits of Echinacea are limited to helping out with a cold. But that's just not true. Echinacea purpurea is actually a very effective herb for many other ailments, especially for fighting against infections and boosting your immunity.

Drinking echinacea tea daily can actually help your body build up it's own defenses so it can fight off more types of infections. Echinacea can even be made into a poultice and placed directly on burns, cuts and scrapes. This will keep your wound from getting infected while encouraging your skin cells to heal faster. Faster healing means less chance of scarring. Seriously, echinacea is an amazing herb.
