Echinecia

Echinecia is an herbal remedy to keep in mind when fighting off viral infection. Echinecia is purported to work as an anti-viral because of its polysaccharide component. Polysaccharides work by inhibiting viruses from using host cells in order to replicate. Also, polysaccharides can interrupt viral reproduction once a host cell has been acquired.
Echinecia has been proven scientifically as an antibacterial agent, as well. Perhaps this is why echinecia is such a useful whole body herb when trying to maintain health in a stressful situation. Infections can take hold when the immune system is compromised through stress but echinecia bolsters the body's ability to fight many types of onslaughts.
